Well B And B you may be right in what you say but Sunderland tempted Coleman in which was a surprise to me. I only think we need one thing to happen for this club to be attractive again and that is exactly what you say. Owners who care about it. The rest will follow. Like the Blues Brothers said. “If the **** fits, wear it”
Other than at a Gareth Bale inspired Wales what has Coleman ever done? I don't recall him being outstandingly good at Fulham, I only recall that he talked a good game.
 
He’s done well with a welsh team that virtually picks itself starting with Bale. Has he ever done well in a club setting when had to deal with all the other ****e that club managers do over national managers?

He will get the sack straight away. How else can he carry his coal?
or
At Sunderland, I think he will reckitt & coleman will be sacked.
 
There's been nothing on the club website about the game tomorrow. Been nowt since Saturday.
Nothing on club twitter since yesterday.
Summats happening

Fans didn’t express our apologies quickly enough or promise Ehab an amnesty so the club has been closed
Doesn’t exist anymore on Twitter or in reality.
Never mind, it gave us some fun times while it lasted
 
Trouble is if we lose Slutsky we'll lose our dodgy Russian streams...
I'm sure there still be fairly big interest to continue streams even if Leo will be released. People will want to see as new coach will deal with that deck. Not sure it will be very long interest though, but for some months for sure.

Seems the vultures are gathering for Slutters according to the media.

Not his fault our attackers can't shoot straight or our midfield can't thread a pass - last night's comedy or errors was not his fault.

And neither is it his fault he's been dealt a bum hand with his squad - we all know whose fault that it is.

Adkins will drag is back to 2005 in double quick time. And to think we had a manager of Marco Silva's profile in the building.....

League One here we come.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. A manager is judged on results and performances .. his ability to organise what he has .. to pick a team to do a job .. to read the game and make changes when and if required while studying the way a game is going. Far too often our defence have performed like a bunch of schoolkids defending .. he has had ample time to sort that out on the training ground .. he has not got a great bunch of players but I'm sure an organiser can get a better tune out of what we have. Sluts has been guilty far too often of picking unbalanced line ups then having to change it at half time to put right his mistakes .. the amount of times I have watched him head down pacing up and down looking at his toes instead of shouting out instructions or handing out bollockings on the touch line. While Sluts has not been dealt a great hand and he is a lovely bloke... he has fallen way short of the mark.

I do partially agree with you, Slutsky has joined the club at a bad time:
Major players leaving
Not having a great budget
Having to bring in young inexperienced players
Massive unrest amongst fans/owners


However our problems are fundamentallying on the pitch:
We carried Henriksen for several games (... "I pick players on how they perform in training)
We stuck with the same tactics even when they did not work (our 4-3-3 was quickly found out, sit deep and be narrow, let Grosicki and Bowen come inside, hold CM will close down)
When we did change, we did not do so fully (drop to wingers but still only play one up front, even though our strikers are not strong in the air)

Then we talk about character, and lack of mental strength. Unfortunately Dawson is holding the hand of three other defenders, our key attacking outlet is in his first year of senior football. Then when we are under the cosh our manager is pacing around looking nervous, not barking out orders/encouragementor.

It'
A shame, I really like Slutsky, he seems to be a great guy, loves the club, fans and the city. He has a great footballing head and knowledge, unfortunately though, that doesn't extend to a mis-match team in a very tough league.

We also had a manager of Steve Bruce's profile, who has taken Villa into the play-off places.

It might work for Pozzo but it ain't working for us...
