S-Clarke Posted 30 March, 2013 Posted 30 March, 2013 Be nice to see them to down. Another club with some big wages on older players. I'm not convinced the 'experience' people cried out for in the summer is all it's cracked up to be. Mignolet is worth signing though and always thought Larsson was useful. Don't think Larsson would add much to us if I'm honest. He's slow as ****, and for me our summer recruitment program needs to include a little more pace throughout the spine. There honestly isn't anyone in their side who I like the look of. I think they're a squad full of ****, he should be given a medal for putting together such an average team of cloggers.
Wade Garrett Posted 30 March, 2013 Posted 30 March, 2013 The way it has been worded on the 10 o'clock News seemed to suggest it to me. And now they have clearly said he's been sacked. What do I know!

Absolutely no no no no to Larsson, awful player. Unfortunately our national team manager hasn´t seen that yet...he has only one good attribute. Kicking a ball that is not moving....

Unfortunately our national team manager hasn´t seen that yet...he has only one good attribute. Kicking a ball that is not moving.... As a swede, would you know who Olinda Borggren and Patrick Larsson is?
Olallana Posted 30 March, 2013 Author Posted 30 March, 2013 As a swede, would you know who Olinda Borggren and Patrick Larsson is? some sort of soap, category z-famous people?
Olallana Posted 30 March, 2013 Author Posted 30 March, 2013 Their keeper is top draw IMHO. But no Boruc.
Crab Lungs Posted 30 March, 2013 Posted 30 March, 2013 some sort of soap, category z-famous people? Yup. I've also worked with those nutters too. Absolutely bonkers. They left me with a very confused opinion of Sweden. They did, however, introduce me to Swedish breakfasts, which is a positive.

Breakfasts are good though!
Tokyo-Saint Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Am I the only one who is hoping Swedish breakfast is a euphemism and will be explained soon followed by infractions for filth all round?
pingwing Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Better IMHO. Behave!!! Mignolet is a cultured Kelvin Davis (aka can speak 7 languages but still isn't anything more than a shot stopper). Nowhere near an improvement on what we have!
captainchris Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Don't understand. Martin O'Neill is a good manager with a proven record. Don't think they can get anyone better. Ooowwww not sure that of that comment or it's relevance to the here and now....... O'Neil has been out of his depth for a few years now. Times have moved on - he hasn't - poor coach and manager these days .....
pingwing Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 They'll be signing up McLeish before we know it...
Bearsy Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Am I the only one who is hoping Swedish breakfast is a euphemism and will be explained soon followed by infractions for filth all round? Lols I was literally just googling to see if blow job! I know one ITK fact bout Martin o'neill btw, wait for this... His wife wears the trousers! #henpecked
Bucks Saint Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Sunderland were truely woeful yesterday. But still mad timing. That new TV deal next year is making boards (not this one) crazy
Gorgiesaint Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Not surprised in the least by the decision, although slightly surprised it didn't happen 2 weeks ago. O'Neill, without his long term sidekick John Robertson, has looked pretty lost of ideas tbh. Apart from the initial boost after replacing Steve Bruce (and let's face it, most teams would get a boost of anyone coming in after Bruce, but O'Neill would have that enthusiasm) he's been pretty poor. If you take out the 7 wins in the first 10 games then his last 44 league games have produced 12 wins (14 in 56 in all comps), pretty close to relegation form over a prolonged period. Without anything changing, Sunderland were only heading one way - into the Championship. With no transfer window available, what else can you change? The difference between Sunderland and Reading changing managers is Reading just don't have a squad good enough to stay up, either with ability or PL experience. Whatever Reading do, I don't see them staying up & the players backed Brian McDermott. That Sunderland squad should be good enough to stay up, but with their main scorer out for the season, it's not looking good. Let's hope whoever comes in doesn't get Connor Wickham & Danny Graham functioning as a partnership
saint_ed Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 I actually think it makes more sense than not to sack him. They were in complete and utter free fall with no sign of halting it...as it stands they're heading for the relegation trap door. They have no choice but to gamble on the new manager factor and hope a change of approach gives them an immediate boost.

Sunderland have a very medioce side, couldn't say whether that's O'Neill's fault or not though, dont take much interest in them tbh. I mean if you're forced into playing Titus Bramble because you've no-one else fit youre on a hiding to nothing arent you. Edited 31 March, 2013 by Window Cleaner
UpweySaint Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Something had to change at Sunderland. Playing like a team without any fight or ideas. It may be the players fault but this time of year the only changeable component happens to be the manager ... they've essentially gambled and I cant say I blame them.
shirleysfc Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Please give it to Michael Appleton. Very much this, or Steve McClaren.

Olallana Posted 31 March, 2013 Author Posted 31 March, 2013 I'd have Sessegnon. Replacing who in our team?
The Kraken Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 BBC Sport confirming that Sunderland are to hold talks with di Canio.
pingwing Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Replacing who in our team? Ball boy, could probably handle some some easy time wasting when we are winning...
saintalan Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Just don't like to see a fine language abused. We're safely on topic, don't worry. ... Would this apply to writing "PremierSHIP"?
Olallana Posted 31 March, 2013 Author Posted 31 March, 2013 Ball boy, could probably handle some some easy time wasting when we are winning... If so I´m all for it!
Legod Third Coming Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Please give it to Michael Appleton. How has this guy acquired a reputation for being any good. When clearly, he isn't. Not even average!
hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 So, it´s Di Canio...... Could be an inspirational choice. Will be interesting to see what happens.
Legod Third Coming Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Could be an inspirational choice. Will be interesting to see what happens. High risk. Massively high risk.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 SSN david miliband resigns following Di Canio's appointment as Di C is a facist
shurlock Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 SSN david miliband resigns following Di Canio's appointment as Di C is a facist Already getting rid of the deadwood....
hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 High risk. Massively high risk. Well not really. I mean with O'Neil they were only going one way. If they go down now then nothing really changes from what was going to happen.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Imagine Di Canio will be much cheaper than MON! DiCanio cant lose on this one...... I can see Sunderland being relegated but being decent next season in the championship. DI Canio's rep will rise and he will be linked with more prem jobs
Olallana Posted 31 March, 2013 Author Posted 31 March, 2013 Imagine Di Canio will be much cheaper than MON! DiCanio cant lose on this one...... I can see Sunderland being relegated but being decent next season in the championship. DI Canio's rep will rise and he will be linked with more prem jobs Not so sure their fans think that way. I think their demands will be staying up.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Not so sure their fans think that way. I think their demands will be staying up. 7 games to save them. His 1st 7 games at Swindon he W2 L5 will that be enough for Sunderland this time? The guy is a loose cannon, wouldnt be surprised if he quit after 2 games
CB Fry Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Might work. Might not. Risky. Everyone in the media can go all gooey over Di Canio but as a manager he's achieved jack sh it. A promotion from League 2? Managers who have done that are ten a penny. Could turn out to be a tabloid friendly, better dressed, more Fascist Paul Sturrock.
John Boy Saint Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 This should be interesting, slightly surreal Manager who won't be taking any sh1t from Premiership doshed up Prima Donnas.

A promotion from League 2? Managers who have done that are ten a penny. Could turn out to be a tabloid friendly, better dressed, more Fascist Paul Sturrock. A mate of mine supports Swindon and says that, predictably, di Canio is a complete egomaniac and will take credit for absolutely everything his team does, and will always try to make himself the focal point of attention. He also had control of absolutely everything at Swindon, in terms of management, signing of players, offering contracts and negotiations etc. Not sure how that will work at Sunderland; but they had to make a change, and he's certainly a "character".
shurlock Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 For 7 games and an adrenalin shot to get over the line, it might just work. But as a long-term solution, its a ticking timebomb.
Crazy Diamond Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 On the bright side... David Miliband leaves Sunderland
Greenridge Posted 31 March, 2013 Posted 31 March, 2013 Just watched the BBC1 10pm News to hear the Sports Reporter Damian Francis(?) claim it's a tough job as Sunderland 'are bottom of the Premiership'. Good to see the Beeb on the ball.
