thnks guys i guess i was over rating sunderland or something then. I thought they'd have more options than poyet who i'd put in the risky and unproven category. especially as you might need to now push out the caretaker too and then its a free for all.
True, but a proven goal scorer with some "Flare" wouldn't get into a Pulis team? If so, the end is neigh! Getting a CB isn't too hard, he'd go troll the local rugby clubs and sign up a few failed (f)lankers!
when Poyet first took over at Brighton, they were in a relegation fight to stay in League 1.. 10 games later they stayed up, and the following season he made them Champs. Wouldn't question his ability to keep a team up. Posted the below on Sunderland board about the appointment if anyone's interested
