sparkzter Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Shame it's Poyet, best they could get. He has a lot of work to do though. We will gift him the win against us like everytime we play his bloody team!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Bad career move for Poyet. He'll probably get a result in the derby against our inept manager, but long term I don't think he'll be happy at a shithole like Sunderland. The pisshead EDL nature of the place doesn't really suit a big ego foreign manager. Joe Kinnear would have been a much better fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godot Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Wonder if he will repeat the trick and leave a 'surprise' in the away dressing room for the derby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Got to wonder how much his record against us factors into the appointment Aye, I'm guessing their managers job application form was a bit like this... 1. Have you ever scored against Newcastle? 2. Have you ever managed a team to a win against Newcastle? 3. If you answered 'yes' to either/both of the above, when can you start?

aussiemag Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I think Poyet is a good appointment and the best they've made in a long time. Think they have a far better chance of staying up now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Bad career move for Poyet. He'll probably get a result in the derby against our inept manager, but long term I don't think he'll be happy at a shithole like Sunderland. The pisshead EDL nature of the place doesn't really suit a big ego foreign manager. Joe Kinnear would have been a much better fit. I would agree that he will probably not be happy at Sunderland for long. Apparently in his previous jobs, he has always spoken of how ambitious he is and keeping an eye out for the next career move which has alienated supporters. If he does well, he will move on as soon as he can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 They'll beat us, but I'm not convinced they'll beat anyone else. Good Championship manager to have mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 They'll beat us, but I'm not convinced they'll beat anyone else. Good Championship manager to have mind. I was incandescent after the 0-3 so I really hope we do not lose to that lot. So depressing but unfortunately a realistic scenario. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Massive gamble to bring in somebody without Premiership experience in their current predicament. Can see it backfiring masively.. It's not really that much of a gamble. So he's got no premiership experience, but he has shown that he can organise a side. I can think of a few managers with premiership experience who struggle with that. I agree though that he's not likely to work out long term, wrong man for the wrong club.

I can think of a few managers with premiership experience who struggle with that. I agree though that he's not likely to work out long term, wrong man for the wrong club. Not only does he have no experience at the highest level as a manager, he has also never been in a relegation fight with a poor squad of players bereft of confidence. He's been reasonably succesfull in the lower leagues and he could be a real find, but to me it sounds like a mighty gamble considering he needs to hit the ground running. If he doesn't get anything out of his first few fixtures (mainly at home against us), they could be in real trouble without a new manager bounce effect to save their sorry arses to look forward to. I don't see how you could see it as anything but a huge gamble on their part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heake Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 If Partridge fails to get a result against that lot, Poyet or no Poyet, then he really needs to walk away. Pound for pound we`re head & shoulders ahead of them, only very poor planning & tactics would allow them anything from the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd hope after the last Derby result, our own players shouldn't need too much motivation to put the result right. Its a cliche, but pin up that pic of PDC on his knees, on the dressing room wall.

I think I'd just be keeping everything crossed TBH, I wouldn't really expect much. To a certain extent the only way is up for them obviously, but I think Poyet comes across as a right nob and I would be just as worried as happy.

The only reason you'd be excited is because he's an unknown, and you would be desperate. If I was a Sunderland fan, I would be bricking it at being 6 points adrift already and having an inexperienced manager come in, having to work with a deflated squad of poor players not of his choosing, and needing to grind out results straight away or be effectively relegated by Christmas.
