I don't mind McCan. Should do a solid job. Just a shame there's a probability that our season has been ground into the dirt in the process of swapping Johnson for him. You never know, it's not over yet, but I've felt so low recently it's going to take time to get my optimism back.
Remember that bloke called Phil Parkinson who got promoted from this league. He shouldn’t be accepted as good enough imo, we should be better than this.
Didn't do it over 16 games though did he? This needed to be a big lift, an ispiration, not another damp squib
The thing is mate, I am ****ing fuming this morning. 11 days for a "no" and looking forward to another weekend with two incapable coaches involved. Maybe I am shooting from the hip, and something needs doing to stop this **** show, its time and time again and there are now 2 common denominators still involved ( a lesser degree). I've even said myself I am on the verge of giving up after 50 years. I say on the verge because I know when the crunch comes, I will have **** all else to do and if I did have something to do, I would be wondering what the score is, there is no place to hide when you are a Sunderland fan. However we ae a laughing stock, its been handled poorly no matter which way we look at it. But it isn't just this saga, its the imbalanced squad we have been left with, we are using a Head of Individual Player Development as first team coach because Speakman chose not to employ an U23 coach when Dickman walked out in October. I might need to take a break from all forms of social media because quite frankly my mood is off the scale. Not because Keane isn't coming but because I don't feel the other candidates are what we need at this moment in time. I wouldn't mind a proper Sporting Director calling the shots, what I don't like is an Academy Manager coming in from a club that is ditching their Academy and rolling up here in what we knew was going to be a massive task.
At the start of the process I said I didn't want mccann as he seemed tactically limited going off what I read from Hull. But you are right, he is doomed now either way. The new not-keane would have had a fighting chance if Keane had been ruled out quickly before everyone got as emotionally connected and was still in the 'it'll probably not happen like' stage I still maintain though, LJ was labelled as utter ****e by many fans and got us 3rd, so playoff should still be to play for.
He'll get a good welcome on Saturday and a good one at home if we beat Wimbledon. Keane has lost some respect after joking about wanting to be at Sunderland ... ... didn't want it enough did he, too cosy in his nice warm studio cuddling up to Ian Wright.
Why? Last full season he managed in this league (which was last season - not years ago), he won it. People want to “aim higher”. But LJ was a championship manager used to being mid table. He wasn’t a winner. Grant McCann knows how to win the majority of games he plays in this division. LJ didn’t.
McCann doesn't fill me with excitement, but he does have experience of getting out of this turgid league and will hopefully get the team playing to a more consistent level. He is one brave man to take on our club, which tells me he has the guts for the fight to get us out of League 1 and to win over the fans. He gets my support
This. Ask Peterborough and Hull fans what they think of grant McCann, and this is despite him getting the latter promoted.
And selling Denver Hume without a replacement. We only have one senior left back. If Cirking gets injured, the same old story…
