New Head Coach

"no mate, I'm from Sunderland so I'm a Mackem" is my response when someone not from the North East assumes I'm a Geordie because of my accent.

 

When I got asked if I was a geordie because of my accent it confused the **** out of them when I said I was a pit yacker!

 

Wearsider born and raised in Sunderland, County Durham is the response from me.

 

This. Don't mind mackem, mainly because it's now so widely known, but 'Wearsider' for me, sounds so much bettererer.

Now if someone could just suggest the word I actually meant to end that sentence with, that would be lovely!

 

Wonder if they'll be looking for a new coach to replace Dodds role as player development or go with what they have

 

I reckon they'll promote from within. Maybe Stuart English

 

What the **** are you drivelling on about? you need to calm down marra or you'll be having a wobbler.

 

Any club you care to mention but yes, with Sunderland. We've had more failures than I care to recall.

 

Both the Rangers and Villa where he has failed up to now...5I don't think 3 is too bad a start.

 

I can’t remember anyone other than LJ being like what you say.

 

quite a few years ago there was a short item on tv in which a Sunderland shipyard worker made the boast “On the wear we makem and we takem.” He could have been encouraged to say this of course, by the film people, just to stay in character with the common conception of the area.

 

I tell everybody I'm from the Holy Trinity
Pennywell
Sunlun
Co. DURHAM

 

Stupidity from the likes of Sky is partly to blame, plus John Hall's land grab ... despicable man.

I was one of the first Geordie kids, in a Midlands pit village, where they'd sing, "They shoot Geordies don't they," as we walked into school.

Nevertheless I was proud to be a Geordie and we stuck together, wherever in the NE we'd landed from.

Because I don't want the inevitable assumption that I'm a Mag I now say 'I'm Durham' ...

... I ignore people saying 'Ah you're a Mackem' if they spot my lapel badge ...

... I've been called a lot worse

 

Not been funny but you've lived a sheltered life.. Only Peter Reid was a real success at this club. Others, before and since, have had spells of doing well but ultimately, all failed.. This appointment, I would dare bet, will not last the length of the contract he has been given. I might be wrong on one maybe, but all of our last coaches managers were either out of work , cheap or a stop gap. I was expecting Real ambition by the owners this time around.

 

I hope you are wrong about Pritch. He definitely makes a difference.

 

Just winding you up, and it worked

Beale has never managed at Sunderland so it's impossible to know how he'll do.

Howe ... great at Bournemouth, shyte at Burnley.

Neil ... great at Norwich, shyte at Preston.

Potter ... great at Brighton, shyte at Chelsea.

Moyes ... great at Everton, abysmal at Man Utd.

Clough ... great at Forest, awful at Leeds

That list could be a hundred long in no time if I could be bothered.

 

This is just a lie. At least do some research before you make unsubstantiated statements. Succeeded as a COACH everywhere he has been whether it is a coach in a youth setup, assistant coach or head coach. His failure at Rangers was as MANAGER, he ain't the manager here so it's largely irrelevant.

What on earth do appointments made by people at the club before KLD and Speakman have to do with anything? If you think Beale is a cheap option you are really thick. Cheap option would've been keeping Mowbray or appointing Dodds, how is paying a new head coach in Beale who would've still been getting paid by Rangers while having to pay off Mowbray classed as the cheap option?

Utter nonsense as per from you.

 

Neil and Mowbray were both successful imo, Johnson had us second tbf,

 

I think you’ve got your wires crossed somewhere you were talking about managers who walk the walk and I was saying we’ve only had LJ like this the rest were just failures.

 

I remember my dad referring to Sunderland people as Makems and takems in the 1950s.
