Tony Mowbray, i dislike him so much it worries me. Dunno what’s up with you he’s a perfectly nice chap. Plays decent football, his teams score goals. What’s not to like?

Out of some of the names being banded about, "Scotty" Parker, Bruce, Warnock, Allardyce or any other domestic dinasour - no wet-behind-the-ears up and coming prospects from Leagues 2 3 or beyond - no daft ex-player suggestions - Neville, Keane, Lampard, Terry or the like......no poaching other Championship managers who are in a job - it always ends badly although I could potentially hold my nose for JDT if it was the only way to get a Johnny Foreigner in !! So most Brits are out of favour as you KNOW them, how they play, their previous records etc - so which 'Johnny Foreigners' would you rule out for the same reason and who would you approve? Dunno, there are loads to choose from and I'm not a fan boy that knows their names etc (dont even know half our own team or those in our management back-room team - had to google Jared Dublin a few mins ago only to find he's not Dion's brother nor interested in run-down Stoke on Trent terraced houses!!) - I just know that we need to organise and play around a continental model with a coach that understands it and can implement it on the pitch and the training ground, someone with intelligence and confidence and has some sort of personalkity, good with people etc not another dour dog-faced grunter ....... So, the experience for this lies overseas by and large with very few exceptions, but these are largely unattainable / spoken for / wouldn't be interested - I'd take Potter of course given he is one of the few domestic managers that "get it" and has "done it" to some degree but I fear he is out of reach......we shall see what transpires but no more domestic tripe thanks

Mowbray for me - already alienated the fans with his comments about us circa. 2007-2009, comes across as a pretentious tosspot and would seem to be us keep hiring Sunderland cast-offs.

Scott Parker two seasons in the Championship two promotions admittedly with decent teams? That’s something most mangers haven’t achieved.

He may be a decent chap and an ok manager (although he keeps getting sacked and been quite disparaging about us in the past) - but he's a has-been dinasour and we've been there and done that too many times - surely the club can see that - if not it will be same 18 month 2 year treadmill and I for one wont be funding any of it..... not that matters a jot I guess!

All of the above last two pages and the out of the box fully assembled football manager will still.
No one has mentioned Gary & Royston though yet, see I told you, it'd 'rock the city'.

I’ve no expectation of a manager being here more than 2 to 3 years max however old they are or what their football is like or what success they have. Realistically if you get promotion you need a different sort of manager to the one that’s most likely to get you promotion and if they don’t get promotion they’re not likely to last that long anyhow. It’s the reality of championship football.

You can just fuck him off with a pay off and many thanks once he’s served his purpose. I despise Pulis and many of our fans don’t like it when I point out he was in no way a serial winner. He’s not a bloke I’d ever pick to get you promotion but very few managers would have kept us up that first season or two. Horses for courses.

Two season two promotions and you’re not convinced but you’ll take someone who hasn’t won promotion? What’s your criteria then?

I can understand I thought his football was shyte etc but despise is a bit strong surely. He brought success to the club and put little old stoke back on the map for a bit did he not. Opinions I suppose but for me he was a massive positive overall for the club.

So you would take a foreign manager who could be crap over a British one just because we’ve had British ones that didn’t work out?
