I'd like to know what he's basing this on.
Same here.
I guess he's basing it entirely on Martin O'Neill being the mackems' manager.
I like Stan, but he's a fully paid up member of the MON arse licking club. The president of which is Henry Winter. Vice President, Patrick Barclay.
Oh.
I just thought of something that affects you lot. MON is the most bewilderingly popular manager going amongst the non-tabloid press. Unfortunately for you, that means you can expect an awful lot of the above (although usually not quite so in yer face).
For Sunderland fans, they can expect years of the press implying they're extremely lucky to have him as their manager, and for said press to belittle the club.
Great, I look forward to it.....
