Poyet out of the running both sets of fans will be happy to know. He's signed a new Sunderland contract today. I understand he isn't popular with you lads so you'll be happy it's a no go.
According to Peach the board are keen to appoint a manager that has a decent grasp of english. So Yakin is a doubt.
I know the guy only does these positive soundbite thingamys so what does this statement mean? Surely can't be an off the cuff, means what it says sentence can it. lol. Lots of interest and so far Graham Taylor and John Beck are at the top of the maybe pile.
**** me, I mentioned a couple days ago that I suspected that this might be a priority after the 'hurr durr why does he use a translator' thing, was hoping that it wasn't true. That rules out quite a few good managers.
I see Rafa Benitez is at 20/1 at the bookies. No, I didn't go looking. I stumbled over it while I was looking at something else. As if I would go looking at betting odds.
You know who I think would be a pretty good fit for us, Steve McClaren. Good with young players, nice playing style, certainly settle the ship without too much risk. Don't think we'd set the league alight, but could imagine some steady progression, even if we do cash a couple cheques.
