We might not get a top manager in this league but there would be no harm in trying . Smug said the other day the Americans want Dyche. Now thats not to say they would have got him but it speaks volumes about their level of ambition. It sounds like we basically have Rodwell making all the football decisions and look at rodwells cv/ decision making in the past- disastrous
How do you know we haven’t tried? We clearly tried to get Poyet? Maybe all the top managers rejected us. Or are you part of selection process and know all of this?
Its not who it is really.. could be a decent choice. Its just that it would be the sort of appointment which means Donald still has his grubby paws all over the club. Really bad news.
Think we all need to calm down a little, we all have our opinions but ultimately we want the same thing....a successful Sunderland we can all have our reservations and theories be boring if we didn’t do the current set up deserve our support nah not really but let’s at least give any new owners and manager a chance ...it might not work out but equally it might just click for us
It stinks of donald and his cronies still calling the shots, so infact this takeover is a waste of time non event. Poor state of play considering whats been spouted on here for months.
Not with the Cowley's, yer might ,at a push, with Cook. I say at a push. But its not just about the appointment is it?, Its to do with giving a feelgood factor, a lift and hope to thousands of supporters who are well pissed off
Because apparently poyet turned us down because of wages so it sounds like we aren’t splashing the cash which is what would be needed to attract a manager who was better than league 1 standard to league 1
You don’t know that though. I don’t understand this assumption that appointing Cowley means it was Donald, Methven and Rodwell’s decision? It’s a very realistic possibility that new owners liked a decent manager and wanted to hire him.
Nobody has reported that. Sky reported it was because he didn’t want to come to League One. Poyet’s son suggested on twitter that it had nothing to do with money. So there is no indication we aren’t prepared to splash the cash. By all accounts it’s because the new owners want to preserve their DoF model. Which would suggest the opposite of what you are saying and that the takeover very much is happening.
I know sod all about the Cowley's in all honesty but if it's him/them then I'll wait and see how they do, and if they're no good I'll most likely be one of the last people on here sticking up for them. If we've picked him/them because there's no takeover and it's all Donald can afford then I will sit on the floor and bawl like a big baby but that's another story.
tbh for all the talk of boring football - its only boring when you're not winning. If Cowley wants to play long ball and wins every game for the rest of the season, we won't find people asking for us to start playing tiki taka
If anybody thinks appointing the Cowley's PROVES that Donald and Methven are making decisions - there's no hope for you.
