I got an alert on my phone just as I'd hit the button to start a new thread so switched to that.

Their goes probably his last chance to prove himself as a manager, put him into the permanently unemployed alongside Horseface.

No.

Tony is always on the button.
Breaking news rely on Tony

Let's hope Sean isn't interested in the Championship.

6..Did you give your teacher lots of apples?

I knew last August!

This is not good news.

It's neither good nor bad, so long as he doesn't one day end up with us.

Has no direct effect on us but agree with HatfieldClaret, I wouldn't want him anywhere near us. He's had a bad time since leaving Everton and I don't think he's going to get another decent job.

I think he will come good again. Did a decent job at Preston and Everton. Think Man U was always going to be difficult so that leaves his time in Spain and at Blunderland.
But what do I know of managers

I'm sure he rues the day he ever left Everton. His bank manager would disagree though

I wonder if Sam Allardyce or Tony Pullis would have succeeded at Sunderland?

apparently Michael Gray, an x player of there has just said on Talk sport that nine of there players refused to play this weekend either directly or by feigning injury .

he said he knew that the club were trying to move at least 15 players on,,,,

That is no surprise. There are a lot of high earners there that don't have a relegation reduction clause in their contracts apparently

Sunderland is a complete mess. The owner and Moyes had agreed he would stay but reports yesterday suggested he'd go after discussions with the players.

Stitched up in August when he was told there was no money to spend and again last week when he was told the owner was going to trouser all the monies from the parachute payments
This smacks of that nice man at Blackpool and we all know where the Lashers ended up and no I don't mean Wembley.
Best fit for the Mackems is Warnock.He can make shite perform and that something Sunderland have by the lorry load.

Another club who fell into the trap of overpaying in wages to average players.

moyes, good man, good manager, sunderland are in a mess, useless club.

Dyche to Sunderland rumours starting in 5....4....3....2....

He was on a loser if he stayed. The Yank has no intention of putting any more money into the club, and without it they could be down for a very long time. He's wise enough to know who would get the blame.

They're almost as much of a car crash as Deadwood.

Be daft to go.

I reckon he will be in for the bstrds job when mowbray runs away.

People think Dyche is negative, Moyes might be the most negative manager around. He didn't believe they would stay up from the first week he arrived.

He was gone before the season started!

Problem is at some point people will stop blaming the club and look at the manager....

He's got one chance left I reckon where he could shift the blame on to the club.

what colour tie do you wear on Transfer deadline day Tony ?

Thank god

Dyche's name being fairly heavily touted for it on Radio 5 earlier with Ellis Short said to be an admirer. With "big club" jobs seemingly closed to British managers could it possibly be that SD might see reawakening a dormant big beast in The,Championship as his best chance of progression personally, as opposed to waiting for Pulis or Allardyce to expire ? After all it's possible to make the case that this might possibly be as good as his cv gets here whereas all there is with the,Mackens now is upside.
I know this is a touch pessimistic but I am a worrier !!

Reawaken a dormant beast???

Sunderland need more work then we did when he arrived.

Just been seen checking in to Seaham Hall!

Err...yes. They are truly dormant. But they are "big" in terms of fanbase and ultimate potential and hence my comments given where SD is in his career at right now and the constraints he faces. I hope my anxiety is
misplaced and , having vented it for therapeutic reasons, I welcome anyone persuading me I have nowt to worry about.

It would be an excellent job for Dyche to walk into to be fair. The size of the club, the stadium and the infrastructure surpasses us in our current guise, albeit a division below.

You'd have to be naive to think it wouldn't be a head turner for him. Hopefully not though.

He's not the first and won't be the last Scot to have his life destroyed by Heroin.

FTFY

There you go, ^^^^

Whoever goes there is going to have a huge rebuilding job on their hands.

Remember one of their local journalists on radio 5 before Christmas saying the problem they have with changing managers yearly is there obviously is no long term plan and also a huge squad full of well paid players who when a new manager comes in find themselves out of the squad. He actually hoped they would give Moyes a number of years to formulate some plan even if they got relegated.

If the rumours are true that they ended the season with players finding excuses not to play then they're going to need major work to the playing squad.

Short doesn't want to sink more money into the pit...
Players overpaid.
Defoe leaving.
Lescott .

Nah Dyche won't go there, they simply aren't a step up anymore.

Give your f uckin' head a wobble, ya daft twunt.

Don't be mean, Beamish.

I thought they'd all agreed he'd stay and have a crack at next season. Or did I dream that?

they won't be doing a Newcastle that's for sure. Giggs the current favourite

The days of leaving a PL club for a championship club are over thanks to Sky methinks.

Bruce did it, but he left a basket case to one a bit more stable.
I couldn't see Dyche leaving a secure job to sign up for a Basket case club.

Pearson currently favourite on SkyBet at 5/2

Dyche at 16/1 along with Kevin Ball & Stefan Schwarz
