I don't think I've seen a Sunderland side so ****ing unfit...So Ross and his assistant gone, which means we have kept the fitness coach. Not that it looks like we have one anyhow
It boils my piss....lazy ****ers have no pride...

They're ****s, this has ****ed it for me. People can say "you don't know what's going on behind the scenes" yada yada but there is no way in hell that Parkinson was the best available option to a club of our stature. No way.
They've been cheap with this appointment to an almost inconceivable level. The difference in cost for, say, a Stendel or Pearson would have been completely insignificant when compared to playing staff wages and overall running expenses of a football club this size. It's honestly mind-blowing that they could **** this up this much.
2010 we signed Gyan! And yeah Owen was their record before Almiron.Hang about. How long ago was gyan bought. And until almiron was bought owen had been their most expensive signing and iirc cost under 20m.
"Penny pinching" to me indicates that the moey is there but won't be spent.Penny pinching never works...
Last season was a prime example of that.
Donald is losing the goodwill from the fans...
I always take what I'm told, second hand, with a pinch of salt even from good mates.
However I have to apologise to the lad who first said Parkinson had been given the job and was at the AOL with Donald.
It seems he may well have been spot on, despite what Roker Report knew as a fact.
I heard somewhere that it was Parkin who took the training yesterday.
Here's an RR article on our new assistant manager. Seems like a decent right hand man.

That's great, not sure what your point is though tbh.
As in, it wasn't parkinson that took the training, it was his assistant manager so RR were correct and that guy yesterday was partly correct.
Cheers for that, felt some enthusiasm for the first time since the announcement.I heard somewhere that it was Parkin who took the training yesterday.

Hopefully the bit about developing youth is true here as well.

Fowler gigged at Queen of the South and Kilmarnock before coming here, Parkinson and Parkin are Clough and Taylor compared to that.

So RR are correct despite there being no quotes from either man, it's quite possible.
Some people might say RR are repeating what they've been told as they've done before.
Besides, as I said in the post you quoted ....
"Parkinson had been given the job and was at the AOL with Donald"
Bloody hell man, I wasn't picking on your post. The bloke yesterday (who admitted to being on the wind up) said he (parkinson) took training, not that he was at the AOL with Donald. Anyway, wasn't trying to start a debate over this, was just an observation, leading onto the article I posted about Parkin.
I agree, with this squad they may well achieve step 1.
Incidentally, a Sunderland/Mansfield supporting mate of mine knows Parkin personally![]()
Oh no, here we go,
Meltdown in tha know![]()
Oh well, gutted it wasn't Stendel tbh but who knows ?
Parkinson has done pretty well and could do better than Stendel might of.
Here's hoping and lets start with a win at Wycombe.

Just realised him & Parkin were in charge of Bradford when they humiliated us in the FA cup
Under Poyet that was another truly disgraceful performance by us
