what a terrible thing to say....if they love Alex Neil that much then why dont they start to follow Stoke....we dont need supporters like this....I ll get behind Tony or whoever is in charge
you go to a game to support your club......its in your blood , your DNA.......and I can judge people who say these sort of comments.and say they not true supporters

Can't speak for everyone, but I've not met a Boro fan that didn't or indeed doesn't think the world of him.
Yeah, it didn't end brilliantly and he was sacked , but he had next to nowt to spend when he was our manager.
Personally, I think people on here have got a cheek, calling him shit, and going on about 'hoofball' etc.
Ok, maybe he's no Klopp or Pep, but who do you think your club is gonna attract?
But but but, Sunderland fans don't mind/ care about/ give a shit about little old Middlesbrough.
We're not rivals remember- so what should it matter if he was from Middlesbrough - he isn't, by the way.

Actually Mourinho was sacked at his last 3 clubs. Is that 'top of his game'? The thing is mate I back up my arguments with facts and reason. You are just lashing out with nonsense. 58 is NOT 'old' for a manager and Championship experience is something Sunderland can use right now.

Half of this place was calling AN “another dour Scot” when we first appointed him.
They were. Loads were screaming for him to be sacked after 3 games too.
why do i do it?

Had a look at his record and thinking rationally, it seems despite having to make Donald richer which is a drag, it seems the bairn will not be given enough pocket money to fund a proper team, there is a cost of living crisis you know and his family did’t get rich by throwing it around. What the other board members do I have no idea. So it‘s a case of more jam tomorrow Because there’s nowt left for any today. In the light of all that I think that Tony Mowbray is probably the best we can get, in the words of Sunderland brexitears “suck it up”:they told me that many times and I enjoyed saying it back. I honestly think he will do the job for us. My father was from the posh side of Middlesbrough, Grangetown, birthplace of Chubby Brown so I know what I am talking about.

As f***ing Tony Mowbray (FTM) has yet to be announced can we assume they are still looking a bit wider?

Oh I'm friendly enough mate - never had a fight or serious falling out with anyone in my life.
Life's too short.
Just think the attitude towards Mowbray is shocking.
He has a decent managerial record and has his teams playing decent football (imo).
Thinking that Sunderland should be 'aiming higher' purely because you're Sunderland really is quite arrogant (and deluded) - not aiming that a you personally btw.
Sunderland have done nothing for near-on fifty years, and not a lot for yonks before that, that in itself proves that you can't seriously think your club is in a position to be attracting managers of a higher calibre than TM.

Tbh I think it’s mostly based on an incorrect (or at least incomplete) perception of him. I assumed when we were first linked he would be a boring , merry-go-round, safety first manager at a time when we need someone to harness our momentum. My view was mostly based on his monotonous tone and him looking like he’s taken a few shovels to the face. His comments about us 15 year ago are most people’s abiding memory of him.
I looked a bit closer and was surprised to find that he actual plays attacking football, same system as AN, and has a focus on developing youth. On paper that sounds perfect for us, especially when he has worked with our head of recruitment before.
I think most are hung up on the fact that on the face of it he’s not an exciting choice….neither was the last bloke.

Would you like him in charge of Middlesbrough?

If Wilder was to leave tomorrow (don't want him to), then yes I would like TM as Boro's manager again - hopefully with more resources than he had last time.
More to the point - what's the reasoning for the mass dislike of him managing sunderland?
And, what's with all the personal insults directed at him?

Lazy stereotypes are what I’m seeing, people saying he is a dinosaur without looking at how his Blackburn team played or how he does develop young players.
There would be a lot of positives in appointing him, one of which would be I think we would definitely stay up without much trouble.
The negative would be due to the views of some he would be on a hiding to nothing if he didn’t get a good start and that in turn would impact on the positive feeling our return to the championship has had on the fanbase
I wouldn’t be against his appointment completely but Personally I’d rather him for our academy role.

He's a good appointment if we're happy to be a mid table Championship club for the next few years, which is probably the aim anyway tbh.
