Thespence Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Are Sunderland really going to announce their new manager on April fools day? We did when we announced Shearer iirc Yep we did! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7975700.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Loads of mackems suddenly saying that Di Canio will be named tomorrow... does he have any sort of decent managerial record?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It's laughable the stories in the media questioning O'Neill's sacking. Apart from his new manager bounce honeymoon period O'Neill's been awful for Sunderland. That's why Newcastle fans wanted him to keep the job. Being friends with the media really does cover up a multitude of sins. Those same media pundits wouldn't want any of these sacked managers they've 'cried' about managing one of their clubs (i.e. the usual suspects of Man U, Man C, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal or Liverpool). I am a little worried Sunderland may improve under whoever their new manager is. With O'Neill nothing would change but with the new guy the players will be trying to impress him. I thought this when Bruce was sacked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Dunno how I'd feel about Di Canio. I assume he has no managerial abillity and will be just another Keane but maybe someone like him would keep them up in the short-term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Might have enough fresh ideas and enthusiasm to get a short term boost out of them tbh. I don't think one of the usual merry go round dinosaurs would do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I think short term its a good appointment to keep them away from relegation but long term i'm a bit undecided on him in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Sunderland won't get relegated, plus I still think we're in very real danger of fucking up and going down too. Although I'm very intrigued at who they'll appoint, I'm guessing they'll possibly turn to a foreign manager as the british ones haven't had much luck.

ponsaelius Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 He's a lunatic. His management worked when he had the best players in his division. I can't see his shouting, fighting with players, subbing them off after 20 minutes and other mental stuff motivating Premier League tarts in terrible form and playing against better teams than themselves.

Cajun Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 He's absolutely guaranteed to say and do mental things, at least they'll get noticed, might be nice for them. They could probably replace "Sunderland, you know, near Newcastle" with "We are managed by that mental bastard Di Canio", for a bit at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm extremely disappointed they seem to be appointing Di Canio. The man's a fascist. He shouldn't be anywhere near football IMO. I know a lot of their fans who will be very torn if he is appointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
