Just as things were turning round and our campaign for a top 6 or 7 place was well under way, we go and sack our manager. What is Ellis Short thinking. Oh, wait a minute. Got that wrong a bit there. please log in to view this image His record has just been on Sky Sports. P 89 W 25 L 37 D 27 GF 108 GA 127 Win % 28% Absolute rubbish stats by any standards. 2nd worse win rate of any manager in that league. Not good enough and no-one to blame but himself, although I will wait for his excuse ridden statement sometime in the next few days.
Steve Bruce had to go, because we needed him to re-register as a player. He is our left winger v Wolves. You heard it here first. x
Yes, I totally agree with your outpouring of sympathy. I felt that the team was just about to click and our march up the league was imminent. Horray - we can start to be positive about SAFC again
Lighten up mate, he will be going with a few million quid in his sky rocket and although his personal pride will be stung, he will have the last laugh over me every time when he opens his bank book tomorrow. Please forgive me my pleasure in seeing our club almost re-born tonight and Bruce will be just fine despite my mirth.
Its worse than that - since Feb 2011 win record is 18% and this season to date 15%. shocking statistics.
Be careful what you wish for Cest, we're managerless and if we don't get points on the table in the next 2 games we're in deep **** mate, some dodgy games coming up after Blackburn, we need to get someone in quick.
I would have though after the news we've had this week even you could realize there's more to life than money. Bruce had the look of a broken man recently.
I'm sorry but the tragic news about Gary Speed cant be used to brow beat everyone form here on in who has a piss take or a bad word to say about someone. Bruce will be just fine and back in work before March is out and it may be back in the EPL with another fat pay cheque. Don't get all pious mate and take some moral high ground over a bit of stick for a football manager?
Steve Bruce press release says "the Sunderland fans will be dancing on my grave, thats why I'm getting buried at sea, sad mackem bastards" whist counting the pay off that would otherwise have been spent on players.
Agree with Cest. Bruce wasn't performing, but be assured he won't be worried about buying the turkey like a lot of us are. x
Pious??? I'm not even the slightest religious. Mind you, it's very easy to take the moral high ground over brave people who use the anonymity of the internet to spout bile. You got your wish. Be happy.
Well if its a Ricky Sbragia appointment yes but give Short some credit for running a multi billion dollar empire and trust that he will need to make a far, far better appointment than that. We will be just fine this season and safe with his replacement. No trees pulled up between now and May but still there come August. I couldnt say that for certain this morning.
