joeyt Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Hope Everton bring them back down to earth Really hoping they do but you can't rely on Everton. Just the type of fixture they'd f*** up. Sorry Neil. They have a horrendous record against Everton don't they? Proper bogey club 1-0 to Sunderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Just seen their MOTD clip. He's a fucking goon, man. All bravado that the media are absolutely lapping up. Even neutrals on Facebook/Twitter are wanking themselves over him, saying he's class, a legend etc. Yes, he's a passionate bloke, and nothing wrong with that, but he's milking his image like fuck. When the going get's tough he'll look like a clown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I do find it wholly laughable that the Mackems were affronted when the press dare quiz his fascist leanings and they acted as if it was some sort of media conspiracy. You could fucking hear the collective groan from the local footballing press when Miliband walked away from the table because they knew they'd have to dedicate time and effort to probing his political views. It was only the cack handed way in which Sunderland handled it which kept it alive for so long. Once he said sorry, even if it was a pathetically hollow apology, the issue was dropped. All the press wanted was what they've had over the past week - a performing monkey who is going to wander into press conferences and act like Mourinho on speed. I suppose it's understandable, you're no good as a journalist if you're not getting copy, but the local football journalists have really shown themselves up here. There was a real story to be told about this man, his political leanings and association with some very dodgy folks but it wouldn't sell newspapers on Wearside.

Guest Roger Kint Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Didn't Marty have a something like a 10 game unbeaten streak at the start of his legacy? At this moment its impossible to tell what he is, give him a few bad games and see how good he is. Bruce and Marty both started well iirc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Whether he comes good or not, they very obviously made the right decision for the situation they faced. They needed to pull themselves out of trouble and beat us, two objectives and they've managed both. We were more than happy to take a kicking and hope other teams don't win games.

newsted Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Seen a few mackems wanking over Danny Rose, do they not realise he's there on loan? They think he's daft enough to sign for them permanently. Honestly, they think that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, we're sat here arguing about whether it's mad to sack a manager with so few games left to go when you're in a relegation fight, and in the meantime they've sacked and replaced their manager, 2 games and 6 points later and they're headed towards safety.

It was a monumental gamble for them though. Could have easily backfired (and still technically could). Wouldn't want us taking a seriously risky gamble like that unless we definitely had a far superior replacement lined up. With our current owners and their demands (i.e. they want a yes man for a manager) it's very unlikely that will happen.

bhoywhonder Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Pardew's ludicrously long contract probably includes a massive redundancy pay-off, which will save him through this (and probably more) sh*t periods. His reaction to this massive retrograde step from last season will be key. As for the mackems response to last weeks result...I'm beginning to wonder why I pay a mortgage, we all clearly live rent-free in their heads 24/7 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2312057/Sunderland-1-Everton-0--match-report-Di-Canio-effect-continues-Sessegnon-moves-Black-Cats-closer-safety.html That flag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Ashley will have covered his back on a deal that long, I'd imagine Pardew would get a season or two's worth of wages if he is sacked. Or they have an agreed amount depending on how many seasons are left of his deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 His basic wage is pretty low by all accounts, can't imagine it would cost much at all to sack him. Probably relative to 1 or 2 league positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media have definitely backed away from the story which Milliband's resignation prompted. Lazy journalists and the bullying censorship approach evident from di Canio's first press conference, have succeeeded in putting a lid on the bigger story. In their current hedonistic, euphoric state they won't realise it, but flushing their club's working class traditions down the shitter by appointing a fascist to run it will come back and haunt them eventually.

Just be more worried about our own team, I couldn't give a fuck what they are doing. We've seen this time and time again with them, they'll stop up, the media with have a cream fest about it, so be it. It's next year when things start going wrong it'll get ugly.

I agree, I suspect he can do very well there and they can enjoy a mini revival, but it will always be one training ground incident, one chinning of a player away from going over a cliff, will be fascistnating to see.
