I IIRC wasnt saxton famous for fall outs with non british players like helmer and schwarz? Subsequently they were on the outer.
That Unibet site on oddschecker is bizare mind Their top odds are for Gary Monk Jurgan Klinsman Marco Silva and Uwe Rossler
I’m going to stick my neck out and say Phillips won’t get it. The timing isn’t right. We HAVE to be promoted this season. Now is not the time to take a risk. I’ve said before that I’d like him as long as Pearson came too.
Probably more the other way around I remember Helmer (who'd been there and done it all over europe) was less than impressed with the training methods and culture at the club Team bonding at the time meant getting pissed together.
I dont believe we could afford the gamble tbh and it has come back to bite us on the bum. By this league's standard we now have a bloated squad that is ripe for a clear out. Flanagan, baldwin, mcgeoch, leadbitter, watmore, macglaughlin c.,ozturk, wyke for starters need peddling if anyone will take them. I suspect their wages would be too much for the clubs that might want them
Former Leicester boss Nigel Pearson emerges as the latest contender to become Sunderland's next boss https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo.../former-leicester-boss-nigel-pearson-17075079
@Nads 25/1 with William hill https://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/sunderland/next-permanent-manager
His odds will now shorten. Again, he is keen and KP has discussed the possibility of being number two.
Problem with people like Pearson is that they are utterly consumed by their own infallibility and invincibility. Thing is his day is gone. Anyone thinking skp would be more than a go fer with someone like Pearson is deluded.
Wonder if Donald would be more swayed to Pearson with Phillips ? All speculation i know but them or Stendel seem most obvious choices but then as someone said on this thread "this is Sunderland". I'll be happy to get Stendel, and not averse to Pearson if he brings SKP.
