It's early admittedly, but these are the names being linked to replace Chris Coleman: Chris Wilder 2/1 Mick McCarthy 5/2 Michael Appleton 7/2 Jaap Stam 6/1 Kevin Phillips 10/1 Roy Keane 14/1 Steve McClaren 14/1 Andy Hessenthaler 18/1 Mark Warburton 18/1 Nigel Pearson 18/1 Ally McCoist 20/1 Brian McDermott 20/1 Craig Shakespeare 20/1 Keith Curle 20/1 Uwe Rosler 20/1 Grant McCann 22/1 Steve Cotteril 22/1 Derek McInnes 25/1 Lee Clark 25/1 Gordon Strachan 33/1 Hannes Wolf 33/1 Kenny Jackett 33/1 Dougie Freedman 40/1 Jon Whitney 40/1 Lee Bowyer 40/1 Steven Gerrard 40/1 Gus Poyet 50/1 Frank Lampard 66/1
Wilder has done a great job at Sheff Utd in league one and the Championship, you can see why he is the favourite for the job. I'd expect him to get maybe a relegated premier league team or a decent championship team, if he leaves Sheffield. I'd like us to take a punt on, Paul Hurst, who is managing Shrewsbury. Assuming they don't get promoted this season, I think he'd be a cracking choice and probably the best we could hope to get.
From that list, and considering the division in which we are starting this new journey, I would go for Pearson.
I agree marra, a bloke who knows the division and what’s needed to get out of it. I’m not daft enough to think we’ll have a huge budget so someone who has watched Div1 players all this season would be a massive advantage when it comes to recruitment.
McCarthy favourite now. https://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/sunderland/next-permanent-manager
Because as part of Ellis ‘clearing debt’ hen any payoff logically would have gone in there. To be frank, I’m not for Coleman he’s made some baffling choices that contributed to League One anyway, I just think that the sacking is part of the whole clearing the decks element.
