Tony Mowbray ...

Aye. The comments about strikers after the match on Sat were telling. First time he's broken ranks

 

I am the opposite. To time build for the future. High press, young, and relentless team

 

would have him defo but he way out of our wage structure and they want a young foreign coach by all accounts

 

Ok. No worries. I'll put you on ignore but be happy with this final exchange.

 

Thank f uck for that.

 

Swansea sacked their manager earlier, feel like we will be looking in a similar market considering their normal style

 

Will Still

 

It’s a gamble like and i hope the next lad make something of our ineffective strikers and gap in midfield.

 

Believe me they’d love Potter, he’s proven in the kind of model they want twice over.

Absoutely right though no way we paying for him.

 

Yeah maybe. He surprised me when he came in, I've never seen Sunderland play such attractive, attacking football. He was never my first choice (he wasn't my 99th choice) but he did really well for us and had a lot of credit in the bank with the majority of fans. Call me parochial, but I enjoyed having a manager from the region who understands what the club and the fans are about.

ultimately I have faith in KLD and (to a degree) KS. Am sure they have someone lined up and the timing is quite tactical

 

The fact the club have done it now is a bold move. They’ll be aware they need to replace him sharpish. Genuinely think we can improve. HUGE appointment next.

 

no i'm not i'm going by that we love going into the french market so it my opinion and i know it's what KLD would like aswell

 

Jocelyn Gourvennec was heavily linked when KLD came in and is currently a free agent again

edit - no he’s not - was appointed at Nantes a few days ago

 

Sad its ended this way, in the most part its been very enjoyable. Can only assume they have someone lined up.

 

Has he not just taken the Nantes job?

 

Not remotely happy with the decision but I understand it's probably for the best. Mowbray was above all else a gentleman. One who is rightly always welcome.

 

Camembert with Pain Rustique as assistant

 

Same !

 

It’s a shame as I love the bloke, but the more I think about it… from a board perspective and based on recent performances and his interviews it’s not a huge surprise.

Don’t think this would have happened if we hadn’t finished in the playoffs last season, if anything Mowbray’s unexpected success may have been his downfall.

Success brings greater expectations and looked like he was feeling the pressure from it in recent weeks.

 

i think he would of been gone in the summer if it wasn't for the playoffs and fans reacting to the rumour at the time
