Beale's done one

Didn't they end up getting rejected by a few and ended up scrambling? I might be completely wrong on that mind

 

Yeah, pretty much. Couldn't agree terms (i.e wouldn't break the budget) for their first choice, despite holding extensive discussions with Will Still.

 

He wasn't their first choice

 

Bullshit eh?

If we were 10th, we'd say we're unlikely to make the play offs, i.e. in a precarious position. It doesn't have to be meant to suggest they're about to drop out of the league.

 

No idea about Beale at all but the owner sounds a right cock!
Sunderland are seeking their 22nd manager in 22 years after sacking Michael Beale on Monday two months after appointing him as Tony Mowbray’s successor at the Stadium of Light.

The former Rangers and QPR manager won four of his 12 games after taking charge on 18 December and leaves the Championship club 10th in the table, four points adrift of a playoff position.


It is understood tensions had been rising behind the scenes since the 43-year-old Londoner began voicing his concern at his young team’s lack of an experienced centre-forward. Sunderland’s 27-year-old owner, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, had fallen out with Mowbray when the latter publicly emphasised this glaring flaw in the club’s recruitment blueprint.

 

Yeah the owner seems like an idiot. Isn't expressed particularly well on Sunderland Til I Die.

 

Rooney's available

 

Yes please, that'd **** 'em up nicely

 

The majority of their fans are primarily laying the recruitment model and managerial choices at the DOF, Speakman's door. They see KLD as mainly the money man.

Bit of a stretch to blame 22 managers in 22 years on the owner. Given he was only 5 years old 22 years ago.

 

Found this to be quite funny

Has that had more episodes added, I thought they’d forgot to do anymore

 

Think season 3 came out about a week ago.

 

Just 4 episodes isn’t it.

 

dunno. I'm just going off chatter in the office. Don't watch it.

 

Is there actually any content in that or do you have to log in before you see something other than the post?

 

10th & 4 points off the play offs is not a precarious position at this stage of the season, it is in the chasing pack.
However, if they were 10th & 4 points off relegation, that would be a precarious position.
Actually, just 4 points off relegation really is precarious!

 

Here is the exact statement. Which matches precisely the one tweeted in the OP, of course.

Don't think you can see without logging in, which I'm not doing
