Ive never coached them but i would have put a better team out that what he did.

Even that rotherham fan on here earlier said everyone can see sunderland have a weak midfield. If they'd stuck matete in holding mid role and binned gooch im certain we'd have not got beat of f***ing doncaster.

You dont need a coaching badge or 20 years experience to see whats needed. Thats why LJ got the sack. Plus we signed the fuckin answer.
 

The truly agonising part is that if it’s not Keane, most of our fan base will be pissed off and rightly so. But even if Keane does come, I’ve got a feeling he won’t be anywhere near as successful as his first stint. So it’s lose-lose. Depressing.

This, this and thrice this. Johnson would probably have got us play offs. The whole point in getting rid is because we weren't happy settling for that. So if we then take ages over the appointment and see two games go by (at least one of which we lost) before the new person even starts working with the players then it defeats the whole purpose. Whoever it is needs time, even Keane the first time didn't immediately have us in title winning form. There should be one interview with a few candidates, who they should have been able to identify prior to sacking Johnson, then quickly move to appoint one, not scratching about the week after. Just get Keane in and get it announced ffs

it would have been the right call is another CB was definitely in the bag..but ludicrous without that..they say we have four CBs,..but Arby cant be part of that..the lad hasnt kicked a ball for the clib really

I think people really need to calm down. I get the frustration it's not sorted by now, but there could be any type of hold up behind the scenes.

What if it's just a case of the backroom staff Keane wants are currently employed. We'll be arranging settlements for them, then contracts. Keane won't sign on without the team he wants.

If that is the case then it was foolish of Speakman to say what he did yesterday.

whihc bit of my sentence is wrong? he is a player development coach in the academy..he has never coached the first team..training last week was taken by jevons and willis..not mike dodds..

By some miracle that he has no clue about the first team
(An absolutely ludicrous suggestion for a paid football professional at the club btw. Absolutely ludicrous)

After 10 minutes yesterday, even the tea lady could see it wasn’t working, and he didn’t change it. Then 1-0, then 2-0.

But aye, he doesn’t know how the first team operates. The bloke should have been dragged off the touch line by his balls
 
I expressed my reservations on Friday and they haven’t gone away but, in a play off situation I think he could definitely do a job.
But more importantly, either way, it needs to be sorted shit hot.

He played 100 games for Stoke so can’t be that bad. He’s come into a club in an absolute mess, better to come once we’re more stable I would have thought

I was away on holiday for his debut and from what I read He was exactly what we needed!
Hopefully next 2 games were not his normal standard and debut was
