The line “precarious position in the league table” gives it away as bullshit. They’re tenth!

Bullshit eh?

If we were 10th, we'd say we're unlikely to make the play offs, i.e. in a precarious position. It doesn't have to be meant to suggest they're about to drop out of the league.

No idea about Beale at all but the owner sounds a right cock!
Sunderland are seeking their 22nd manager in 22 years after sacking Michael Beale on Monday two months after appointing him as Tony Mowbray’s successor at the Stadium of Light.

The former Rangers and QPR manager won four of his 12 games after taking charge on 18 December and leaves the Championship club 10th in the table, four points adrift of a playoff position.


It is understood tensions had been rising behind the scenes since the 43-year-old Londoner began voicing his concern at his young team’s lack of an experienced centre-forward. Sunderland’s 27-year-old owner, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, had fallen out with Mowbray when the latter publicly emphasised this glaring flaw in the club’s recruitment blueprint.

Yeah the owner seems like an idiot. Isn't expressed particularly well on Sunderland Til I Die.

The majority of their fans are primarily laying the recruitment model and managerial choices at the DOF, Speakman's door. They see KLD as mainly the money man.

Bit of a stretch to blame 22 managers in 22 years on the owner. Given he was only 5 years old 22 years ago.

10th & 4 points off the play offs is not a precarious position at this stage of the season, it is in the chasing pack.
However, if they were 10th & 4 points off relegation, that would be a precarious position.
Actually, just 4 points off relegation really is precarious!
