It'll be great for this bloke to produce some gems that get sold on to line Donald & Methven's pockets - while we stay stranded in League 1.
It’s almost like the two boards support different teams, it’s depressing over there. They need to **** off back to their PlayStation and xboxes cos they’re ruining that board.
Just got this from my BCFC mate... “No way!!! I bet he will do well, he is a football geek and studies the game constantly. Feel he should have been kept at City”
I must admit to bed wetting as some have put it. I just can’t help but think now was the time to get a manager that would get the fans together. There can be no doubt this has split the fan base right down the middle which gets off to a very bad start. I like the structure but just can’t work out why they didn’t go for a all in one announcement including Dreyfus to show a whole new Sunderland. It feels more like same old Sunderland same old Donald.
Wasn’t my first choice but I’d prefer Johnson to cowley at this stage personally. I want us to create an identity on the pitch in a similar way to how Swansea & Bournemouth went about it in this league. I think Johnson is more known for a style of football that would be closer to what I’d like to see us playing. I don’t feel this is as underwhelming as the parkinson appointment, at least Johnson has had relative success in the championship, I think the poyet buzz earlier in the week has possibly made the potential Johnson appointment appear worse than it probably is. Anyways I’m hoping the appointments above him are going to give him a much better foundation to be successful.
...another... “Yep, I think he did alright! He always had to buy players on the cheap bring them on and then they were sold from under him for a profit! And yet he kept City in the top half of the championship! Don’t think it was fair to expect him to do any better in those circumstances!!”
You have no knowledge of the structure or remit. I doubt Pearson would work with a Sporting Director. And what aren’t you understanding about the fact Johnson managed in the CHAMPIONSHIP, and we are in LEAGUE ONE. If his target was just to keep a team up them he did a bloody good job considering he nearly got them in the play offs multiple times. It’s silly to think the owners are unambitious when they’ve appointed a manager from the division above. It’s you who needs to get real about what division we are in.
Some interesting wording in that interview. Oscar even mentions criticism of selling young players last few years. Def SD and CM appointment aye?
Surely this takeover is getting announced this weekend. Are we waiting for the manager to get in the door before it happens do we think?
