A disaster for Sunderland, a bigoted hothead who will not be able to exert the same influence over Premier League players as he did over lower League journeymen. Bar the bigoted bit that could be levelled at TP.  Lots of stuff has been levelled at TP and most of it, like those comments, are absolute drivel  |

Bar the bigoted bit that could be levelled at TP. Absolutely. Although having got us into the Prem and since kept us there comfortably he probably ranks slightly higher on the achievements rankings than Paolo Di Gestapio (I know they were German but I couldn't think of anything else). |

The way Owen and Adam are acting at the moment would testify to that. Bar the bigoted bit that could be levelled at TP. Absolutely.

it will be a surprise if it works , think he can be a good coach but if he can blow a gasket at Swindon , highly likely he will up there , nobody seemed to mind him managing Swindon but already his politics are under question

Gods,
I wasn't saying that the appointment of DC was a mess ('though I think it is) but their method of appointing a new manager is. I had thought that Man. Utd were the only club with a dictator.

Utd were the only club with a dictator. yeah, I think I understood what you were saying there surrey. In essence you were saying that Sunderland have no "football" people on the board as such so how can they know what they are doing with regard to the appointment of the new manager. Is that right? I suppose my only thoughts on that are first would you really get a better appointment from a football person rather than an enthusiast? I mean we can all read the stats and hear the interviews of any given manager and form an opinion which is at least as valid as that of say a former pro-footballer. And second surely that is how it would work at most clubs? For example we don't have any "football" people on the board at Stoke City so far as I know... Cheers, Gods. |

I think it depends on the definition of 'football person' Gods. I took Surrey's definition to mean peopke with no knowledge or affinity for the game. Coates is clearly a big football fan and has years of experience as chairman, and Scholes has plenty of experience as well, so I guess they'd count as football people? Then again, Niall Quinn is pretty much the definition of the term and some of his appointments at Sunderland left a lot to be desired. |

Gods, we all have problems with SCFC, that's what addiction to the club provokes,for the love of it. but please don't say that we don't have any football folk on board!! The chairman and vice-chairman, Keith Humphreys, are Stoke City born and bred. Indeed they are that rarity in the PL, two genuine and lifelong City supporters, who actively watch their team play - and creditably for 95% of our matches, which is an amazing record. Whatever you think of his (present)attitude towards TP, PC is a lifelong committee man, well respected in football circles and one to think before he acts, not a common attribute in professional football, these days.
If you sat where I do, - the first seat in the first row behind the directors box - you would see the often all but empty (apart from family members) first two rows of away seats. Many are abroad, these days, Ellis Short (US Sunderland owner and chairman, but based in London) wasn't even at the SOL this week-end!) and I could go on.... Travelling to a conveniently Midlands-based club is too much for many directors,I'm afraid, the more reason to appreciate ours.
You don't need to be a local man and we are just lucky but you cannot say that Tony Scholes is a foobtall ignoremus, nor Phil Rawlings, though he, sadly, lives too far away (Florida)for on-the-spot administration and active support. Richard Smith, if there via a family interest,looks the part and seems to fit the bill, having done a good job with club bulding works. You have to have board members who have a special talent, but in combination with those who truly understand the game and their club and its history and environment, in particular. SCFC is fortunate to have that mix.
Let's hope that we stay in the PL, which I believe we can do and make progress next season, which is what we all want. That would mean the departure of TP, or (like the his erstwhile stubborn counterpart at Arsenal,)finally agreeing to a major change of management style and tactics.

Can you imagine if Mourinho returns to the prem next season, Fergie stays on and Sunderland stay up? The mind games will be great. I seriously think Di Canio could explode under the pressure. I hope Sunderland stay up now!

Surrey, I got you the first time  Seriously though, I now see what you mean, when you said "football" people on the Board I took it wrongly that you meant former pro-footballers. All points with regard to Peter Coates and Keith Humphrys accepted. Their presence on the board and think bfore they shoot approach is well received, by me anyway!! |
