New Head Coach

I hadn't

 

I'd beg to differ, I'd say about a ratio of nine in ten Sunderland fans had no idea who he was before Mowbray got the bullet.

 

I'm one of the nine

 

We had someone claim they hadnt heard of Michael Beale despite him being manager of Rangers so hardly a yardstick

 

Me too mate.

 

If he's a cunning linguist!

 

I think more had probably heard of Beale because of his previous gigs in the EFL.

 

Probably true, but he was being hyped in the football press long before Mowbray was sacked. There were interviews in the Guardian and FourFourTwo at the start of 2023 and I'd seen a least a couple of pieces on TV about the same time. He might not have been widely known but the hype surrounding him was building long before there was any acknowledged interest from SAFC.

 

Just hope he's successful if it happens here, obviously I hope he fails miserably anywhere else in England if he does come back to Blighty.

 

Who’s this Beale feller you’re talking about, never heard of him!

 

The football manager thing is annoyinh as f**k, think he said himself that he hates people mentioning that. Hes worked hard to get where he is and has had success at every club hes been at - thats got nothing to do with playing football manager

 

Good news for us if Corberan is out of the league.

 

not if West Brom fancy Still

 

Corberan to Still would be a seamless transition I think. Wouldn't be surprised.

 

Upthere on RTG - "I think Still’s decision rests on a TV deal happening in France"

 

I get the feeling Still isn’t keen on both ourselves and Lens.

 

ginger island ?

 

Is a weird situation that, they have no domestic broadcast deal in place for the upcoming season. I think if that gets sorted then the financial issues for Lens probably go away. Makes sense.

 

I hope we've moved on from him a long time ago
