Oddly enough I'm in a similar scenario so I would definitely agree with that... I (and my other half) invested nothing other than knowledge and got a wage + 20% of a business... we run almost all aspects of it apart from the odd disagreement where rank is pulled, we lose and a decision is made against our wishes. The idea of Methven running things doesn't ring true to me but the possibility is real still.
Be surprised if Poyet wanted to work under a DOF he was always really annoyed at being micro managed in his last spell.
I can see both sides to what the fans are saying about poyet and I wasn’t a fan of the way he carried himself towards the end of his spell but of the names mentioned, he would be my choice personally. Its not often a manager with a 60% win rate in a top European league ends up managing in a third tier in his next job. It would show some ambition by the new owners imo.
That maybe the only box left to tick in terms of that possible relationship. Be interesting to see where it goes. Decision will have to be made very soon
@SkySports_Keith Sunderland have had dozens of applicants for their managerial vacancy already following Phil Parkinson’s sacking yesterday. Clearly still a very sought-after job in football. Caretaker Andrew Taylor will definitely take charge of the team against Burton tomorrow #SAFC
I got 12/1 on sky bet, just thought it was too big not to stick a fiver on. Was wishing I’d put a bit more on when the odds tumbled last night mind!
I think our biggest mistake with managers in the past has been to get them here by all means necessary, for them to then find out it wasn't what they signed up for. It has to be a good thing if both Manager and DOF are aware of the task and their roles from the off.
Makes you laugh mate when he says that salmon pants has been to home games this season but when you ask which ones he isnt allowed to say. The thing is he can go to as many home games as he wants while we aren't allowed in. At the end of the day he owns 6% of the club. Just because he goes to a few home games when fans aren't allowed in doesn't mean he's running the show. I have a feeling when we are allowed back in he'll decide not to bother
