I would rather lose 5 games on the trot 6-0 and stick with Lee Johnson than have a turd like Neil Lennon for a manager

Even more absurd given they are 3rd in the league, a tough gig for whoever replaces Johnson, as if they don't make automatic promotion, or win the play-off's their position could be under threat going off this precedent.
And had they won at Bolton they would have been top

Precisely! and I'd have thought by now even their fans would have realised they don't have a divine right to promotion out of L1.

I know but this time there seems to be a mood of shock up there

I don't think they have offered him the job, they have offered him an interview.

Can’t imagine ANYONE wanting to bust a gut for Roy Keane. I personally wouldn’t follow him in a conga, but each to their own.

He mistakes leadership for fear and domination… that can only be bad.

As chance would have it, I saw Keano's 1st game in charge of Sun'lan' in September 2006- at Derby. There was a cricket ODI England v Pakistan series on and I had tickets for Friday at Trent Bridge and Sunday at Edgbaston & rather than travel up and down twice decided to stay in midlands and find an event on the Saturday- found this game.
Picked up a very nice seat (from a guy selling a spare tkt) on the front row of upper tier on the half way line. A big & vociferous Makem following filling the end to my right. Good start for Keane with a 2-1 away win & he got them back in the Prem before leaving after a bad run early in their 2nd season back. Clarets, I believe, were losing at home to Colchester on that day in Sept 2006.
England won both the ODI games v Pakistan to pull back the series to 2-2 so a pretty good sporting weekend for me.

He's already been there hasn't he, wasn't he in charge when the bastards did Micky Duffs leg. Ruined our season that match.

Sacked for his comments on the vax is my guess. Yesterdays result is just a smokescreen.
I have also heard this around where I live, lot of Sunderland fans! Also some suggesting he was not happy with the club bringing Defoe back…

Ouch! Sunderland 2-0 down at home to the bottom side Donny, makes sacking the manager look an even barmier call now.
