Lee On Solent Saint

Not sure about that. Sunderland have been away from the PL for a long time. Seems they've only taking one transfer window to build a competitive PL team.

But you just know its going to happen

Yep. Players saying how much they are enjoying the training, how they are all pulling in the same direction. Utter fuckin morons.

Not as manager though

If true, this club is an utter shit show. I doubt any of the other three clubs looking for managers are going to promote from within.

He hasn't been here long enough to find out they experts at incompetence

Everything right for SR. Play Stephens and Bazunu and continue with three centre backs.

That's three clubs with Russell Martin connections looking for a new manager.

Can't wait for the official statement confirming Eckert as manager. Suspect it will be along the lines of after an extensive recruitment process the board decided on the one outstanding candidate who has proved himself to be an excellent coach with the Under 21's. As each day ticks by without any announcements, it really does seem like what is going to happen.

I fully expect both Middlesborough and Norwich to have appointed managers before we do.

Probably our best performance under Still was against Norwich reserves in the cup.

Because it's the easiest and cheapest option.

It's also highly likely that Eckert will be in charge for the rest of the season.

And look who got it

Jobs for the boys. Seems Spors can't be arsed to hold a proper recruitment process.
