ewerk 26387 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Surely, given the timing, they must have a replacement lined up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Within a few days is being reported .Only a manager with no ambition would take the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13861 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The timing is a pisser as they were heding down until this. Even someone as shit as Hughes will probably get enough of a reaction to keep them up. It's funny that after the "mag twat" that getting someone who supposedly "supported" them seemed ideal especially given his so called pedigree. I've always said I admired O'Neill for how he coped with his wife's illness but apart from that I've always thought he was a limited manager and a football murderer. I think times have moved on and the funniest part was how similar his reign was to his time at Villa which their fans warned the mackems about but were roundly ignored. They basically said that he's shite & he'll spend a fortune pretty much only buying players from the British market. Fair play to them like.

PaddockLad 14597 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 As limited as a uefa cup runner up with us? Steve McLaren has achieved the same as O'Neil in the game, including a league cup win, go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mls1-CelticFC 0 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) McLeish won the league cup with Birmingham & he's fucking terrible - he did well in Scotland didn't he? Yeah was one of our most successful managers. We beat France in Paris and Ukraine too. And 10 seconds from cup qualification.

I don't think O'Neill is all that bad - there was a time when he was flavour of the month & a lot of members on here would have had him as Newcastle boss but I think he's been at his very worst as Sunderland boss.

Tom 13861 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 They must have somebody lined up - or else it's insanity but I can't see who. I looked at the odds list on Sky Sports last night & they had McLaren as the favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/200158.html Di Canio appears to be the early favourite. Not sure on his long-term credentials but his style of management might be enough to bring out a short-term reaction to keep them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
