In reality (and with hindsight) we were not in a relegation battle last year. Never fell below 8/1 for the drop.
We were when we needed a win against Reading last game surely?

Just saying that the vast majority of Sunderland fans on that thread don't want him fella. As for him being a good choice for a relegation battle, well he doesn't really have a whole lot of experience of those does he? One with us but apart from that, I can't recall any others during his entire career. Isn't that sort of the point? Yeah that's why I made it. There seems to be a misconception that Pulis has got seasoned experience of relegation scraps, when in actual fact he hasn't. Which is a credit to his time as a manager. |

Wouldn't Sunderland just see survival and TP as a desperate last resort? He'd do a great job of stabilisation at most clubs, but can't see them just settling for that?

What's the point in PDC going over to the fans there? He just stands up telling them to keep their chins up
It's not the fans he needs to worrying about! It's the players

Never mind at least the next manager will be the messiah.... For a bit. This is true. Even if Pulis did rock up there (not saying he will or that he would necessarily be a good choice) they'd soon rationalize it the way all football fans do. Edit- don't think rationalize is the right word. They'll put a positive spin on it in the same way they spun away the problems with PDC's political views. It's exactly the right word. Except in England we spell it with an 's'.  |

Wow! Just....wow! That clip has totally changed my mind. I would have been at the head of the "can't wait to see him sacked" queue.....but after that!!! Keep him!!! Can't wait to see the next bit of car crash TV courtesy of PDC and the Rokershites. Watching that was like seeing a mash up of Mr Bean, Basil Fawlty and The Walking Dead in red and white stripes. Paolo Di Canio = Phil Brown with a goose step. I hereby found the "Paolo must stay" movement! |

Where is fannypaste? Wasn't he blabbering on about how good this appointment was and hell well they would do, also while trying to tell anyone who would listen that Stoke would struggle.
Funnily enough not seen him post since the first game of the season.

No doubt Pulis would fancy a bit of that up North and why not, afterall Pulisball is god damned pretty effective. Albeit our past two seasons weren't much to write hone about but rediscover Pulisball and it's pretty effective and damned entertaining to watch.
Do canio well I reckon he'll be out of a job come the end of the month.

Just listen to his 4.5 minute interview on BBC Football. WTF is he on about, if this is how he talks to his players no wonder they haven't got a clue what he wants.

I've got to say, i've never seen any manager so out of phase with the support at such an early stage in his tenure. If I was DiCanio I'd chuck the towel in. Yet, to his credit he faced them all full on. That's ballsy. I really hope PDC can deliver the goods now. After seeing those ungrateful ginger sods singing "sacked in the morning" to a lad that kept them in the money league and has only seen 5 games as a Premiership manager so far this season is a fooking disgrace, not just to Sunderland but to the whole Prem.
Those flabby twats would get a right smack in the chops if they tried that shit on in the Boothen. In fact it just wouldn't happen at Stoke. They wanted O'Neil out, now they want Di Canio out. It'll serve them right if TP decides to get a helicopter.

Dunno Paul...you have to admit TP and Reid would be a safe pair of hands for a club in severe crisis at present. Just saying that the vast majority of Sunderland fans on that thread don't want him fella. As for him being a good choice for a relegation battle, well he doesn't really have a whole lot of experience of those does he? One with us but apart from that, I can't recall any others during his entire career. I especially liked this quote from one enlightened chap:- "tbh I'd rather we closed the club down and burned it to the ground than appoint Pulis* BM |

If they didn't want to appoint TP as manager on some misguided principles then they really are a bit simple.

He looks to be an extremely arrogant man, with anger management issues.
Look after the players Paolo, quit the pride, passion and professionalism front.
But at least that's one team that we should do better than this season.

The last 3 managers have delivered lousy football and poor results , pulis will at least build a solid team and will on occasions deliver good football . Some of their fans have delusions of grandeur

I for one would like to see TP get a chance at Sunderland. Yes he couldn't take us any further, but we all have to admit he was great for Stoke and had a great record at taking points off top top clubs as he would put it. I wanted rid off him after last season, but would like to see him back in the game. He might do us a favour or two taking points from teams that with our new found confidence we should be looking to climb above. Just imagine seeing the capped one shouting at red and white stripes again, I think he might come in for Walters in the January window, which would please some on here to.

The question is whether if he does go the new man will have any money with FFP in place. Right now I think both Sunderland and West Ham could be in trouble.
