Is he trying to reinvent himself now as a 21st century Viv Graham? Comes over as trying too hard to be the hard man as well as getting himself noticed in the media at any opportunity.
How does someone from South Shields or Jarrow end up supporting Sunderland? Pretty easily I suspect.
I find Newcastle fans trying to claim ownership of 'Geordie' embarrassing to be honest. A rare instance where the tramps down the road are actually spot on.
Quoted for the truth
So, spend £100 million on players and sack your manager before Xmas. Spurs looking to grab ahold of the PL's clownshoes club - formerly held by Newcastle and Liverpool.
Idiotic decision - surely the man needed time, despite a couple of bad results?!
I wonder if Andy Cole's record 34 goal haul in the PL, will be under threat from Suarez here. Bound to be if he keeps on like this (16 goals in 11 games)
Alan Green has just shot his load, on 5Live. Great goal by all accounts - but this man is hardly the impartial commentator (well known Liverpool supporter)
Piss poor decision and one that reeks of panic. I'd bet there will be someone else lined up to come in pretty much straightaway.
Clarke has always seemed like a decent fella, IMO. Hope he's back in football soon.
