Realistic replacements

[shadowplay]

I’ve got no idea who we could use tbh. Went for Bally as I’m terrified it’d be Richard f***ing Hill. Donald has done it before.

Is Kevin Ball still at the club? Elliott Dickman would probably be the caretaker manager.

What about Wagner who was at Huddersfield and did ok getting them promoted

I like him. I thought he was on a break from Football but he’s managing in Germany. I d love him here or someone of that ilk. High press energetic football.

Not really sure at the moment. Lets be honest we wouldn't have fancied Lambert but it shows what decent experience can do at this level if you can organise and use the positive aspects you have, look at Adkins at Hull last season too.

Rowett isn't a bad shout though not totally convinced. Pearson if Phillips was involved maybe at this level too. There's probably plenty of guys up and coming but I can't name many up off the top of my head. I think I'd prefer someone with a strong mentality, who has been here before or worked/played for a big club and knows what to expect in terms of demand.

I honestly don't think too many could do much worse with the squad as we're going nowhere but backwards. At the moment I'd even take Ball as caretaker to buy time till January/this takeover is done as he knows what to expect and it wont faze him and despite him taking over a few shit sides before and results being mixed he was always positive as caretaker even if we were a bit naïve at times. Results are mixed anyway, but a bit of positivity aligned with a side which will graft is much needed.

Get where you are coming from Re. Bally. SD needs to follow the lead of Short and sack his manager. He has tried and failed. Another few months and the salvage job will be harder.

Would hope we go with someone with longevity, rather than someone who can just get us out of the league but not progress much further.

Are Charlton still a bit of a car crash behind the scenes? If they are, and if this takeover ever happens and we have a bit of cash, could we realistically go for someone like Bowyer? He’s doing a cracking job at Charlton.

If Clough wasnt born in Sunderland he wouldn't be getting any memtions at all. The thought of Adkins is depressing as well.

Hughton would be torn to shreds after a few bad results. Avoid at all costs

Also, both of them were crap at this level under the weight of expectation at Sheffield United.
