Dyche is a decent manager, good choice by them tbh.

Burnley always tried to play football the right way imo, sadly the squad of players he had was simply not good enough.

Would be a good appointment for them for  sure.

Sunderland's isn't good enough either.

The problem with the mackems over the years has been their transfer policy and the type of manager appointed. There has been nowt wrong with the money spent, but they've spent it on over the hill past it mercanaries and their managers have always been bad or extremely average. This has just about kept them up.

 

If they stop spunking silly money on past it players and spent more wisely and appointed an up and coming pro-active type manager with good ideas, man management skills and a bit of ambition, then they can seriously kick on ala Southampton or Swansea.

 

Dyche would be a good move on their behalf. I thought his Burnley side were unlucky really, we stayed up, but were by far and away a worse team than them. They played good stuff, rarely got hammered if at all, and conducted themselves very well.

 

Contrast that to big spending Hull and the atrocious QPR (the only side worse than us). Mind, he could be another Aidy Boothroyd...

Sunderland basically have the same setup as us and QPR, the manager is a Head Coach who has no say in transfers which are done by people above them

 

Well, Barcelona have the same set-up...

Fat Sam and Sunderland seem a good fit to me tbh. I think he'd do reasonably well there as their only expectation is to stay up, 17th seems to be celebrated like a trophy and he'll deliver that for them year on year. Who knows, he may even guide them to mid-table obscurity in a few seasons?

 

Poyet tried to implement a possession game, bit dull by all accounts, but he tried to get them to play football and he got chased out of town. Sam's 'up and at 'em' approach suits the way the fans expectations. Graft over craft and always has been.

Allardyce is the king of boring Football, might do ok there but very few fans have managed to put up with him long term.  Sunderland fans celebrate finishing 17th at the moment because they keep escaping after being seemingly dead and buried.  The first 90% of the season they're horrendous and expectations go through the floor, then when they manage to win 5 or 6 at the end to keep them up they see them as hero's.  Forgetting that it was these fuckers who put them in this position to begin with!  I wonder, if they're comfortably 13th-14th never quite getting dragged into any real fight but never challenging for anything either, whether they might start to get higher expectations.

Steve Bruce was doing a rubbish but safe job there wasn't he?  It didn't save him and it won't save Allardyce in the end, because they're completely uninspiring characters with teams that play dire football.

Bernd Schuster the latest name linked to these. Fair to say as ever the media(and likely sunderland) have no clue whats going on. Still expect them to find someone better than Carver/McClaren obviously...
