Ready to groom have a thread on Rafa and you won't be surprised to hear the majority think he's a 'shit manager'

Here it's here. Decent discussion in first few mins http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03lv82t?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_5_live_sports_extra&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=radio_and_music

Lee bowyer on talksport saying we should stick with McClaren

@milesstarforth Steve McClaren will take charge of training tomorrow. Beyond that, who knows? No firm decision today either way. #nufc

Really can't see him being sacked now

Edwards reckons moyes is keen

He's going nowhere

ashley probably on the phone trying to get pardew back

Honestly think if he was going it would have happened by now

Any other club and he'd be sacked already

I think McClaren will only go if they can get the replacement they want, much like last season when they tried for McClaren then released a statement saying they support Carver. I expect a statement later today or tomorrow backing McClaren and telling us to get behind him for the rest of the season

Is he actually likely to get sacked like? I've a bet on it. Odds were great. I've got 30 on it 10/1. I've convinced myself he's going if we lose as I want that pay out. I got 16/1 early feb

Lead investigator in Adam Johnson case tells BBC @EdThomas76 there was detailed meeting with Sunderland. More across @BBCNews.

Ok, first of all, who are they going to sack? Margaret Byrne? do you think she was the only one aware? don't you think she will have spoke to Short? he is her immediate boss and she i not the top of the tree, he can't sack himself? he IS the boss, he owns the whole shebang. with all previous lighthearted comments aside before any final judgement was made i find it absolutely fucking disgusting that they knew what he had done after being privvy to the messages etc As for your comments about a quick fondle in the back of the car, you really need to give your head a shake, he has been found guilty of 3 out of 4 charges with a girl who had just turned 15yrs old ffs. he has gone out with the intention of getting as much sexual pleasure from a 15yr old child as he could Your whole club and the majority of your sick pathetic fans disgust me - you included Wow

Who turns up for a case expecting to last 2 weeks and then turns round at the end like "ahh, actually I can't come tomorrow cos I've got to look after my mates fish for 2 days". It's a job interview apparently

Using bastard. Some friend

He hasn't half threw sunderland and Byrne under the bus

When do they leave for Malaga? If he goes on that trip he'll be here till at least the next game

Sadly he's probably right. McClaren going nowhere

I disagree, was a penalty

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/live-adam-johnsons-sexual-desire-7355455 Goes in to more details. Prosecutors reckon he checked age of consent coz he wanted to go further

That's not much of a defense

How can he not know the legal age of consent . Fuckin hell

On 27 Jan the girl texted Johnson to say she still needed to say "thank you" for the shirt. He replied that he was looking forward to it.
