Looking at these clubs who have or are about to sack their managers ( Wolves, Southampton, Norwich, etc) and those clubs who have recently appointed a new manager and its going tits up (Spurs, Forest, Sheff Utd etc )...gives Sunderland fans a warm glow....In the past we would have been grouped in that lot
Waiting the 120 days for RLB is a masterpiece in itself, We didnt rush it, we took our time and selected the right man for the job. he is our Arsene.
It just shows you what I know... I don't admitting I berated the club for taking so long over an appointment as our season was just petering out and we were honking at the end of that season... But I was wrong...totally wrong. The club got this bang on right, we have a gem in RLB
oh I was reet along aside you, every tweet was met with " yeah but what about a coach?" everyone was just so tired of that season, and I think that is where people wanted Dodds out as well. its why, if RLB ( heaven forbids) goes I have full faith that the board will know what they are doing, I think they will already have ideas in mind ( I hope not but you know what I mean)
To be fair, I don't think it's gone tits up at Spurs. Spurs are just being Spurs, inconsistent and will chuck out a random awful performance. It might not be going great. But I don't think it's going badly, though their fans will be demanding and expecting more. All the other I agree with, though.
Someone on Saints web has stated that since the start of the 2024/25 season up to now, Southampton have had more managers than wins ...
7 managers/ coaches in 4 years…. protests against Sports Republic are happening soon. club is a mess. Depending on who they get in, could make or break their season. Few players may put transfers request in
