How many managers (inc caretaker managers) have there been at the club since you popped into this world. Ffs 32 and counting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sunderland_A.F.C._managers starting with Alan Brown. (i'm guessing that was his 2nd stint)
6 prior, 34 since ! and not 1 good one out of the 34!!!!! 1 or 2 Lucky or Middle but No Great Leaders....
34 for me, although Stokoe and Alan Brown had to stints which would take it to 36 if I counted them twice..
I feel like a young 'un..... Just the 32 for me like First time I was disappointed to see the manager lose his job was Billy Elliott in '79
Too many for my liking as I lost track of who I was counting. If you feel like it take at a look at George Hardwick who was a short stop manager in 1964. The board had been picking the team for a couple of months as they looked around for a manager, Hardwick was a journalist who got the job and was was having some good success in righting things. The board did not keep him as they reckoned he was too free with his information to his press contacts. In many peoples eyes it was an opportunity lost to hang onto a man who had shown he was capable of great things.
31 since I was born 20 as I caught the end of lawie macs disaster the third div being my first full season with Dennis Smith
Magical as in the sense it was first experience of Sunderland matches, wouldn't have mattered if we were top flight or bottom. It would still have been magical for me.
