Totally agree with you about clough nothing about him gets me gan

Probably a safe pair of hands out of the lot of them but that's not what we need at this present time

Other people are mentioning Ian Holloway I'd honestly hand my season card in if he became our manager

Holloway has got no chance and he knows it.
Mind you I see no difference between him and ainsworth truth be told.
Ainsworth out of wycombe would be similar to nigel clough out of burton.
Comfortable little clubs that get by where football is a community distraction as opposed to just about a religion in sunderland.
Stendel seems to be the overwhelming popular choice and I realise there are no guarantees. It would just be nice to watch our team playing attacking high pressing football for a change instead of the hoofball we have had for so long. All the other candidates are hoofball merchants.

Exactly we need someone with a big personality who could grab our club by its boot laces & get us back least in the championship at this attempt

To me only one person sticks out Roy Keane

Sad thing is the only bloke that has had us looking comfortable ( hard to beat, and likely to score ) has been bsa in the last decade or more.
Reid had 2 good years but when it went bad it was seriously bad.
If we had been able to keep BSA and given him 30m to spend that first year we would have been in clover...imo.

Absolutely adored king Reid & BSA that night we stayed up v Everton one of the best nights of my life

I was dancing on the tables in the deaf club lol I was that pissed

Then ****ing England calling then his greedy side came out

The only time I hated Ellis Short was not sacking useless Moyes when Ray Charles could see we were gan down

We need something to get the crowd back on side like I've already posted to me that only combination

SKP & Keane we'd have 40 k there the first home game
 
whoever SD decides on, he needs to him in place soon. There is now a sizeable gap between us and automatic promotion. He cannot fart around with this, there are some really good candidates not currently in work..Get it right Stewart, you have built up some decent goodwill in your short time at Sunderland, that could end very soon with a crap appointment.

He soon fell for Ross bullshit I'll get you promoted line at his interview

Least he eventually saw through him him

But as you say this is his basically his last throw of the dice get this wrong & another season in league one could see the crowd turn on SD
 
Any hints on if there are anymore to interview?

I was hoping an announcement today to give the new bloke a full week with the squad
 
Given that donald appointed ross I am not expecting any miracles re the successor.
Ross was manifestly unfit for the safc role.
However I am sure ross made a great presentation with graphs, tables etc etc. It's the way he is, and donald and charlie would love all that palaver.
From st mirren to sunderland though is like moving from a newspaper delivery round to managing director of the Times.
He was very plucky but the job was too big for his sort.

He achieved the target set in his first season which was to get into the playoffs, it was hardly an unmitigated disaster. He very nearly got us promoted too and would have easily had Donald opted to keep Maja.

To be fair we were very close to automatic promotion, with plenty of games in hand, but it all slipped away.

Just like 2 Wembley leads and way too many league games.

There was an attitude of 'let's try to cling on' that punished up time and again.

When an ingrained negative philosophy becomes blindingly obvious it's surely time to change ...

.... Ross seemed capable of forever changing his team but not his attitude.

All true enough but as I said he hit the target set by the owner and I'm not having his time with us going down as a disaster because people didn't like his football and the owner sold his goalscorer.

No offence mate but you can only hold an opinion, not dictate how people feel.

For me losing two Wembley finals through caution, letting a promotion place slip and failing to win promotion was a disaster.

We only went into the top two after Maja left and you're just guessing that he would've stayed/played/scored.

The only facts are that Ross failed to do what he claimed he would and take the club up ...

.... he was no nearer this season.
