I'm ever the optimist and have always been supportive of SD - but as you say, it's a monumental f*** up. He's is taking the club and it's support for a ride.
It's parkinson

Grayson MkII.
The takeover appears to be falling apart and now probably the least appealing of the rumoured candidates is set to be appointed.
What a difference a couple of weeks make. Welcome to Sunderland!
Thing is would Pearson be any better. I'm not keen on Parkinson but nothing suggests that any of the names mentioned would be better than the others. As always I'll give him a chance. Let's face it he had a thankless task at Bolton
He'll be officially announced shortly if this is happening. Either before or immediately after training.
Very disappointing.
Colchester - 4 years to get L1 promotion
Hull - failed
Charlton - failed
Bradford - 2 years to get L2 promotion, then 3 years L1 with just a cup final
Bolton - 1 year to get L1 promotion then failed.
I make that 2 or 3 meaningful successes in 17 seasons.
Suggests SD is doing this on the cheap and the takeover, sorry investment, is off.

I thought the list of potential managers this time round was pretty uninspiring (Stendel apart). I don't know much about his management history from top of my head but I thought he came out with some credit at Bolton. Lets see what he can do eh before slating him?
EDIT - just seen post 2 above. Oh well.

I’m not one to provoke an argument especially on an internet message board and I may have got the wrong end of the stick but are you implying I’ve done something wrong by posting the link to this thread on another message board?
Is this “payback” for us challenging whether Ross was up to the job. SD was good mates with Ross and I wonder if this is his up yours to us.
Not at all, just that not606 are breaking news and RTG is playing catch up. I nearly wrote that Roger's **** his pants but wanted to be grown up about it.
It tickled me that post was top of the list and has been ever since
Erm don't think you can class his time at Colchester or Bolton as a failure. Got Colchester to the highest level they've ever played at. Got Bolton promoted and then kept them up despite loads of off field issues. They were always going to get relegated last year when they weren't paying the players etc. Don't know enough about his time at the other clubs to comment.
