Sunderland head coach Gus Poyet admits he would willingly swap places with arch-rivals Newcastle as the Black Cats battle to avoid relegation.

Poyet's team, who are seven points adrift of safety, face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening knowing a sixth successive defeat will push them ever-closer to the drop.

And Poyet has cast an envious eye along the road to Newcastle, where counterpart Alan Pardew finds himself entrenched in a battle to win over his club's fans despite the Magpies sitting ninth in the table.

Asked to characterise the challenge of managing in the north east, Poyet said: "The most important part, which is the fans, they love it, they love football and they are desperate to do well.

"Go across the river and go to Newcastle - they are in an unbelievable situation in the table and there is a nightmare.

"Can we change over? Because that is a great problem to have, to be ninth?

"Why? Because it's that drive to get better all the time and to be always on top and it doesn't matter how many games you have won in the past because you need to win the next.

"That part of football, I love it because it's the best way to do it, to try to get better all the time.

"In terms of mentality for me, it's perfect, the north-east. It's always better if you finish ninth instead of 10th, and I am like that.

"The problem is at the moment it is so bad that it's not enjoyable, so the idea is to make sure that we don't put ourselves in this situation anymore.

"It doesn't matter who is the manager, I am talking about the club now, the club itself."



See - it could always be worse!

 

but quite a few Mackems would rather go down having cheated their way to a cup final still...

 

"Go across the river and go to Newcastle, they've got such good fans I'm sure their passion would help to give us the lift we need".

 

Whilst I'd hate us to become a " dumping " ground for Poyet I'm sure he'd bring new faeces to the changing room.'

 

I'm sure there's enough of them in the changing room to start with.

 

Cheeky little monkey.

I think he wants Pardew's job. He'd soon change his mind when Mike handed him a seriously understaffed squad and then sold his best players.

 

The words 'come and get me' and 'plea' spring to mind.

 

The words 'freefalling rubber mask chimp faced urugyuan goat fiddler" come to mind

 

Hahaha

 

.

 

Gosh!!

I never realised Poyet was short for that,

 

Post of the day.

 

Shame he is such a pony manager

 

Post of any day

 

The words 'freefalling rubber mask chimp faced urugyuan goat fiddler" come to mind. Those words could have come out of your mouth James.

 

He's not short for that jim, he's short so he can hang around schools

 

...

 

Another confirmation that those in the shadows look up to us

 

I believe that statement would have been made when he decided he had succeeded in keeping up interest long enough and it was time to pull the trigger
