    Why, he's a lower league manager who plays long ball and is a bug bully but can get results and certain clubs. Certainly not at a big club like safc

    Correct so you could say he’s good at certain clubs, just not fit for Sunderland, a bit like Heckingbottom in my book.

    I don't want Heckingbottom either. But this idea that Relegation=Bad Manager isn't correct.

    QPR and Sheff Wed seem to have attracted better than we can, despite looking certain for league 1 at Xmas.
    Let's hope the wait is worth it.

    You see this is where people stretch things, I clearly said that Heckingbottom was failing, hence the sack. You then said it could be the players, absolving him of anything. At no time have I said relegation isn’t equal to a bad manager as he never had the chance to get relegated. I’d have Kompany here, and I’d have Rob Edwards here. It’s more the manner and the performance of this. Heckingbottom’s pro rata points would have been around 14 for the season. That is appalling and quite a failure. Does that mean he will fail everywhere? Of course it doesn’t, it just means I wouldn’t touch him. I bet he’s embarrassed at his performance in the premier league.

    When I look at our previous appointments under this regime, it’s managers that are on the decline:

    Neil
    Mowbray
    Beale

    All out of work and not sort after. All also taken 2 + weeks to bring in, which is a long time during a season.

    IMO all 3 of those managers would have agreed to work in circumstances that perhaps they wernt 100% comfortable with, just to get back into management.

    All 3 had a pop at the club on the way out, aimed at the boardroom.

    There seems to be a trend.

    I don’t know, but IMO managers don’t want to work with the current set up here. We know Keane didn’t.

    We’ve now been looking for a manager since February so how many managers have they approached in that time and we are still no further forward?

    I think KLDs hearts in the right place and the club has pushed forward under him. But somethings not quite right and I think supporters can sense that.

    Still no odds available on Bet Victor.

    They’ve made their money from our market and backed out now <laugh>

    But what you're doing here is absolving the Sheff Utd players of any of the blame in that.

    Am I missing out? I never bet on managers, I mean I very rarely bet, I just don’t see it being beneficial unless you can put hundreds on it
