I'd have been happy had we brought in Colin or maybe Bruce when they were available, and replaced Jimmy and maybe Les if it had been necessary. But firing Jimmy and bringing in TS or KR suggested by these odds seems like total madness. Or perhaps it is like the Brexit vote of getting rid without a clue of what you are going to replace it with.
I accept that there is a shortage of managerial talent around at present but the situation couldn't be left to deteriorate any further. In my opinion TF was left with no choice but to show JFH the door before we end up in the bottom three.
 
As stared above, I also really don't know who would be a good manager for us. I really hoped that it would be JFH. But we all know how that ended.

I really think that we are destined to get Sherwood and am not inspired.
 
Pearson has nothing on this guy.........

Just imagine a Paolo Di Canio + Nigel Pearson managerial combo with Steve Black on hand to keep everyone on the straight and narrow?

Sunderland chief executive officer Margaret Byrne stated that Di Canio had been sacked after senior players had approached her and that his situation became untenable due to his "brutal and vitriolic" criticism of the squad.[60] Di Canio denies this.[61]

In 2005, he characterised his political views by declaring that he was "a fascist, not a racist".[62]

His use of the Roman salute toward Lazio supporters, a gesture adopted by Italian fascists in the 20th century, has created controversy. Documented uses of the salute include in matches against arch-rivals Roma and Livorno, a club inclined to left-wing politics.[63]

Di Canio has several tattoos, including on his right biceps the Latin word "DUX", meaning "leader" or, in Italian, Il Duce—an antonomasia for Benito Mussolini.[74] His back is covered with a tattoo of fascist imagery, including an eagle, fasces and a portrait of Mussolini.[75] He also has a West Ham United tattoo on his left upper arm[76] and a tattoo of his father on his chest.[77]

Di Canio has spoken also of the growing influence in his life of Samurai culture, and of the Japanese spiritual mentality from reading Mishima, and the teachings in the traditions of Hagakure and Bushido.[6]

I don't think he'd fit in with the current TF ideals of bring niceties......... we might as well bring in a strict German who doesn't speak any English then, as I was saying!

Unfortunately though, Sherwood is still odds on.

I really hope it's not a manager from the UK. We need a smart, tough, foreign, attack-minded manager who is a master man-manager. There are so many managers around the world who would love to come to England and take a chance at building their careers. I hope that we are not narrow-minded and are looking at some of them.

I would be surprised if TF didn't already have a replacement lined up before booting JFH out, that would be the usual way of conducting business.
 
Passion, goals and that cant wait for the next game feeling.....too much to ask?
Seems way beyond us at the moment... and so we lurch to another crisis.
Instability, players not wanting to come to us, because of manager turnover.
Experienced managers, probably wont come because our turnover and DoF structure; Inexperienced managers wont be given time due to impatience to deliver, as they will have an excuse, "its not my team", and no funds to buy new players in January.
Unless we strike it lucky, which is not our way.

So do I. A decent attack minded manager who likes to play the ball on the floor, unlike a holloway who would give me neck ache again.
 
I think (or hope) that the decision to sack JFH was taken after the Brentford debacle and the replacement has been sorted out already. The club will announce on the morrow ... Paul Clement.

Paddy Power (Ian Holloway - odds locked?)

Certainly ominous the odds on Sherwood to join his former Spurs mates Ferdinand & Ramsey.

At least Paul Clement is there in the mix - he proved himself at Derby in this league, so no reason why he couldn't do the same for us, but he's a £2 million/year man, peanuts really if you take into consideration all the money Tony has pissed away on dross.

Even Redknapp there @ 40/1
