Viking Warrior Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 Just watching on sky . Seems his days are numbered at Sunderland . Facing the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 He's always been an accident waiting to happen. His antics at Swindon were brushed over because they were lower league, and to be fair he had some success overall, but some of his antics down there were disgraceful really. In the PL his madness will get continually highlighted; quite what the hell he was thinking today though. Can't see him lasting much longer.

CB Fry Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 He's no more than Paul Sturrock in better trousers. Promoted from league two with Swindon. Amazing. Something countless others could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 I do wonder why the club ever employed him, it was fairly obvious he is a loose cannon. He does not know anything about man management ,the way he treated the young keeper and Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 Always knew it would end badly...but I don't see how that is him losing the plot? Looks like he went over to show appreciation to the fans, and got a load of sh*t thrown in his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 I think the bloke is quality to be fair, very entertaining. Not a particularly good manager though and will be gone by Xmas with Sunderland bottom of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melmacian_saint Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 His strategy is one and one only and relies more on hyped motivation than mental strength. Once questions are asked his teams just crumble before frustration leads to internal problems. As for his promotion with Swindon I think their financial troubles last season from so early on after promotion showed that really they bought their way out of League Two and he was left exposed when something more than getting better players than other clubs became impossible. Of course his feisty character and the general low profile of L1 players meant that he actually left Swindon with any outsider feeling he was being treated unfairly or even maybe as a victim of a club in meltdown. Not the case though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 23 September, 2013 Share Posted 23 September, 2013 Loved him as a player, was fantastic to watch and is a character that the game needs. However I wouldn't want him as a manager of my club it was a really strange decision to appoint him, then let him spend millions and sack him so early. Sunderland seem to me like a club that is on a self destruct mission, wouldn't be at all surprised to seem them relegated this season or next whoever is charge.

I wonder if this is part of his problem as a manager (aside the fact he is an absolute headder), he seems unable to comprehend that not all other players are as good as he was.

Newcastle are lucky that they have had a decentish start. Had they started poorly then I would have backed them to join them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
