Push comes to shove? Dunno if we've had one of these or not Its a no from me, no premiership experience, seems desperate and a big gob
Suck it and see with bally for me like, as stu said, he's too valuable to the club on a whole to be given the right opportunity at the wrong time, he does so much good for the club that i would hate to see him full time atm but one day yes, unless he works wonders of course
he's a bit keen if this is true Poyet rules out potential rival candidates for Sunderland hotseat by personally calling them to see if they want the job http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...acts-rival-candidates-Sunderland-hotseat.html then again it is the Daily Mail!
The problem I have with inexperienced managers and some of these high-flying foreign managers and ex-Man U coaches we have been linked with is they do not have experience of managing in the Prem. Villas-Boas and Scolari found out the learning curve, pace and competitiveness of the Prem and whilst one has gone on to prosper after a while the other has gone and bare in mind both were sacked. I am using these two as examples but there has been many more at different clubs. What we have is an unbalanced, 14 new player team, lacking in confidence, one point in 5 games that need an experienced head around them and someone to drive them on especially on the training pitch. In my opinion what they probably don't need is a manager that is going to take time to settle themselves, click their fingers and make it all happen.. The names linked will turn any Sunderland fan on, getting the right one, the right team might prove more difficult..
Spot on imo mate, this is why i think out of all the candidates mentioned and i may need a tin hat, avram grant for me or even dare i say it? The wally with the brolly

AS much as I would hate to see him manage my team, 'Arry would be a good choice. QPR did quite well when he got appointed, but it was only cos Hughes was given to much time he couldn't rescue them. I would ****in hate Harry here, but he would do the job.
wouldn't trust gus as far as I could throw him. he seemed to be trying to get any bigger job that came along while at Brighton. No respect for the club he was at.

Gustavo Poyet's desperation to be named the new Sunderland manager is continuing apace as he spoke about how he has been pestering his former Chelsea teammates to see if they have any interest in the job. Speaking to South American radio stations, the Uruguayan told how he'd contacted fellow out of work manager Roberto Di Matteo, and Watford boss Gianfranco Zola; I called him and said "Really, are you interested?" and he said "No." I said "Good, thank you. One less! Another was Gianfranco Zola. While expressing his glee that the two had ruled themselves out of the running, he also seemed to show he had a little bit of knowledge of Sunderland's situation; It's a team with lots of backroom staff and scouting staff from Italy. It was possible it would have been easier to go down that line, for the understanding between people from the same country. It's a new team, very international, and it would be convenient for the new person to speak various languages. You wouldn't need to have translators continually. That is something that helps me, because I have that ability. All very valid points from Poyet, but the question marks remain over the sheer level of his desperation to be given the role, which may be seen as a hinderance. There's also the fact he's not managed at this level before. An appointment isn't likely to be made any time soon as Sunderland still want to talk to other candidates, including former Manchester United man Rene Meulensteen and Basel boss Murat Yakin, although the latter is said to be a rank outsider for the position. Meulensteen remains an outsider too, but his odds are coming in after stalling on a deal to become part of Martin Jol's backroom staff at Fulham. He brings a wealth of experience as a coach, and has lots of respect from players within the game for his innovation on the training ground.
What a friggin mess this is. We should have held on to Martin O'Neill and let him build his vision over 2 or 3 years. We could have limped over the line as we did with PDC anyway and still had a man with a massive wealth of experience and talent managing the club. Instead we let loose a friggin lunatic on the club and he just ripped the heart and soul out of us in 6 months and now we are scratching about looking for Avram Grant, Tony Pulis or Steve McClaren to 'rescue us'. Gus Poyet might do a job but I'm not convinced anymore as he looks a bit too desperate to me. Roberto di Matteo would have been a better option but he wants a bigger club with a European portfolio. Cant blame him for that. Me? I'd go cap in hand back to MoN and tell him we made a mistake but that will never happen and if we did he'd probably tell us to **** off (I would ) so we are left with a hatful of uninspiring names. Give it to Bally till Christmas and see what he does with it. If we are still struggling we can bring someone in for the 2nd half of the campaign and Bally can go back to the reserves/under 21's honour intact. If he galvanizes the players and fans and scraps some points then all the better and he can be made permanent in January. Thats the best scenario imo.
I don't agree with you at all here mate Last season was the biggest pile of dross I have ever seen at the stadium of light. MON had lost it. No doubt about it in my mind. Unfortunately we appointed him 10 years too late
Voted no but reckon he is probably what we will get and, is probably the best of a bad bunch so won't be too nicked off if he came.
