I think PDC has driven such a wedge through the team, made so many mediocre signings, if Sunderland stay up this season it will be nothing short of a miracle. They look the worst team in this league by a mile.
Toxic. It's not the 5 games and poor results, it's the acting a complete **** and making the club look ridiculous. Ellis Short was never going to stand it much longer. The fact that the media was collectively wishing and hoping he would stay sort of says it all.
True. What I was implying is that ordinarily he would have been give a few more games to sort it out (whilst SAFC look for a replacement) before being sacked by mutual consent. In this case he's just been a total disaster of an appointment and SAFC know it, so have nipped it in the bud before he went into meltdown. Dude's got issues in his head.
Would Jol move to go there, though? Avram Grant was on 5 Live earlier saying he'd love another Premier job too.
