    I really can't see him going yet. He will go at some point, without any doubt in my mind. Be it this season or next. Be it through being sacked due to on field results, or sacked/resigned due to an offield blow up. But I just can't see it happening yet.

    He's been in the job 2 minutes and has been allowed to bring in a huge number of signings over the summer. Not sure either party will want to put their hand up just yet and admit that this was never going to work.

    Sunderland board saying that he responded to the jeers by shouting at their support to ask whether they still wanted him. Their board seems resigned to the fact that he has to go...it turns out being batshit insane has its downsides.

    Absolute meltdown on their board, hugely amusing given the PDC love in at the start.

    I asked their fans prior to our match just how much rope he'd get, because his mercurial nature and their absolutely brutal starting schedule was a bad mix. As is often the case, the patience they preached before the games has given way, though I don't know that anyone predicted how poorly they'd start.

    If Fletcher is out for a while they have major problems.

    I think they do.What do you do when you have nailed your colours to the mast so firmly? My guess is that it's Sunderland Palace + one from Hull,Cardiff,Us (Norwich) Fulham,Hammers plus maybe one other.

    Well done at Anfield btw!

    We were unlucky in front of goal yesterday combined with Guzan playing a blinder.A lot of our people are jittery though,we need another win,preferably Saints style against a top side!

    You need a result against Stoke. Difficult next two Arsenal and Chelsea.

    Gianluca Di Marzio, the chief reporter of Sky Italia is reporting that tomorrow Sunderland are holding a meeting on Di Canio's future.

    Says that Di Canio could be sacked tomorrow, and Di Matteo is one of the considered replacements.

    Say what you like about the guy being nuts, he clearly also has heart. What other manager would have faced a terrace of supporters like that? The world is a richer place for the presence of characters like Di Canio. If he's given a chance, and the new aquisitions do gel, things may still work out for him at Sunderland.

    I'd be a bit worried if I was a Fulham fan.
