No it has to be MacMenemy. He couldn't put a winning team together the and got us relegated to the third tier. Have to agree with stripes about Sbragia. He was given the job, as was Connor at Wolves, on a temporary basis with the sole aim of keeping us in the Premiership. Unlike Connor he managed to do that even though it was a close shave and then promptly resigned.
Back to the OP...personally, I have never felt so low regarding SAFC as when we appointed Wilkinson, and he done exactly what I feared....
I was gonna type virtually these exact words but you saved me the bother! I remember reading a paper about a week before the appointment and the managers odds were listed! Sgt Wilko was right at the bottom at something stupid like 100/1!!!! I turned to my brother and laughed and said something like 'ooh could you imagine the horror if we got Howard Wilkinson!' A week later i'd never felt so embarrassed!!!
McEnemy, by a country mile, Then Wilkinson. The annoying thing about McEmeny was when we were told he was comng to manage us, I think all Sunderland fans were made up. It took me about half a dozen game to realise this moron was way out of his depth. I imagine Tom Cowie felt the same way, I did feel sorry for TC...bet he thought he bagged a great manager at the time...little did we know eh!!
Can you remember Macmenemy on the Graham Turner documentary when he was England's number 2!!!!!! Now that was funny!
Lawrie Mac. Then Mick Buxton. Anyone remember when he was on Sunderland Clubcall? Always used to make me laugh when I dialled in. "Hello...this is Mick Buxton, errrr, welcome to, errrr, Sun'lunclubcall..."
