Mowbray to Sunderland

[GodIsADeeJay81]

The average neutral fan was led by what they saw or heard in the media etc.

That's why they were banging on about us being dirty at the exact same time as we were breaking and setting a new record for most games without a red card.

The average pundit was biased against us, and this trickled down to the average fan.

Club owners will know what Dyche is capable of, both with financial backing and without.

[Swizzlestick]

And yet did he get one job offer during his tenure here? Even after somehow getting us into Europe?

[claretandy]

Pochetino and Potter being linked with Villa.

I love Sean Dyche. I think he did a brilliant job.

But there’s absolutely no way he gets the Leicester, Forest or Villa jobs. His brand is too entrenched and clubs like that consider themselves progressive.

Personally think he’s going to have a real hard time unless he adjusts his thoughts. To me his two options are relegation firefighter or big club salvage project in the Championship.

I could see him landing the job with a Forest or a Bournemouth if they are struggling later in the season , seeing him as a saviour to avoid relegation as the money will matter more than the image.

[ŽižkovClaret]

I'd wondered if they might go more adventurous and maybe go for Mike Jackson. Mowbray feels solid, if unambitious

[tiger76]

Pochetino and Potter being linked with Villa.

Poch might be interested, can't see why Potter would consider Villa right now, if he continues working miracles at Brighton surely one of the big 6 will come calling sooner or later.

It is somewhat disrespectful for the media to be speculating when Gerrard is still in charge, but I guess that's the modern age for you.

Palace made a very serious enquiry but were put off by the buyout clause.
He was lined up to replace Dick Advocaat at Sunderland and it was going to happen right until Advocaat changed his mind about leaving.

Was that the information you wanted?

Yes - you confirmed that he didn’t. Just debate normally rather than being snide.

[claptrappers_union]

Slightly off-topic, but whatever happened to Roberto Di Matteo? Not been in the managerial picture anywhere since 2016. He has a decent CV, and he has experience at all levels in English football as well with some success...

But there's every possibility those those two factors could come together, no?

Whereby one of those three need a "relegation firefighter"
to save them....so the "absolutely no way" scenario about those three clubs goes out the window.

Forest, for me, being the most likely club in need.

I confirmed that he did, Sunderland.
Palace were put off by the buyout clause at the time.

Nothing snide in what I said.

I know that've spent a fortune bur Forest had an ok start and I've been quite impressed with them from what I've seen. They should keep Cooper.

They looked v good (but a bit open) yesterday

Not every team can attack like Spurs so I suspect they will be fine

Do you know anything about Steve Cooper and the brilliant job he has done at Forest? Why on earth would they be likely to need a new manager?

The chairman is very trigger happy, and certainly is one of those that regards spending lots of money as a virtual guarantee of success

[welsbyswife]

They are on a high at the moment though. Cooper has completely turned the place round. It's ridiculous to suggest his job is under threat.

[Swizzlestick]

Right about Cooper but the owner is erratic to say the least.
