Graeme Bailly seemed to think it's Kevin Ball but surely they're not giving up that easily :lol: :lol:

 

Would hate it to be a Monk but I don't think he'd go there.

 

Just gutted he's gone, he was doing so well :(

 

Leeds to sunderland is a step down. No chance they'll get him. I'd be surprised if they get a manager who is currently emplyed anyway. First of all, they're skint so the compensation would be a big stumbling block and I struggle to see why any manager already in a job would quit to go there. They go through a ridiculous amount of managers and it's common knowledge that the next manager will have virtually no transfer kitty and a crowd that will turn on him if he's not winning straight away. Remember Moyes was confronted in his dug out in his very first home game in charge.

I think Monk will be who they end up going for, and will be a good appointment if they can convince him. Players wise, he could also bring some from Leeds if they get any cash from parachutes and sales, but yeah future doesn't look that great. I'd say getting losing Moyes though is a good thing for them. He was colossally shit and I'd have no confidence in him in the championship if I were them.

Might stick £100 on these going down again...

 

They are fucked like. Mono would be a good appointment usually, but they are that fucked, I think no one can help them at the moment. The need a new owner above all else!

They need somebody with the nous to tear it all down and build from scratch, if what Gus Poyet said about the underlying culture is anything to go by.

 

Financially they're clearly a basket case right now. However, they have the catchment area and attendances to be in a better spot than many clubs who are well-run - Burnley, Bournemouth, even West Brom and Stoke. I presume their kids are at least half-decent based on their U-23 position. If they can hire a manager with a clear football philosophy and build a team to fit that then I can see them come back up in a year or two with a far more solid foundation. It seems to me that clinging on for the last couple of years has only been counter-productive.

For some reason they seem to think Thierry Henry "is a massive lads fan".

 

Weirdos.

 

He made comments about them singing at half time in the derby when Defoe hit that screamer, so aye, therefore he's a MLF.

They need someone who is larger than life, someone who can play down too much expectations but at the same time deliver front foot football, someone who is unattached so won't cost a pretty penny, someone who can find a talent on a shoestring, enter the man, the myth, the humble legend, Alan the saviour Pardew. It has to happen, absolutely has to.

Been pictured in a casino tonight having a few beers and playing blackjack.

 

Good for him.  Guessing the whole last 9-10 months have been a massive strain on him.

Alan Pardew in consideration for vacant Sunderland job - sources

 

Former Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is the surprise name in the frame for the vacant manager's job at Sunderland, sources close to Pardew have told ESPN FC.

 

Sunderland are beginning their search for a new manager after David Moyes resigned from his role on Monday just 24 hours following the final game of the season -- Sunday's 5-1 defeat to champions Chelsea.

 

The Black Cats are keen to get the right man to replace Moyes. They are currently preparing for life back in the Championship next season after they finished bottom of the Premier League, with just six wins from their 38 games.

 

A number of names have already been linked with the vacancy, but it is former Newcastle chief Pardew's name that is the surprise for the Sunderland role.

 

Pardew is keen to get back into management this summer, having been out of work since being sacked by Crystal Palace in December.

 

The 55-year-old has been linked with several jobs since leaving Palace, and sources have told ESPN FC he could be interested in the Sunderland job if he feels it is the right long-term project.

 

Pardew boasts a wealth of experience, having had spells in charge of Reading, West Ham United, Charlton, Southampton, Newcastle and Palace. And he has the experience of leading a club to promotion from the Championship to the Premier League after guiding West Ham to the top flight in 2005.

 

Pardew spent four years at Newcastle, including winning Manager of the Year in the 2011-12 season as he guided the club to a fifth-placed finish in the Premier League.

 

Sunderland have shown in the past they are not afraid to appoint a former Newcastle manager at the Stadium of Light after giving Sam Allardyce the job in 2015.

 

Pardew man ... such a desperate leech. Will do anything to get on the gravy train  :lol:
