Until we find one who is any good at the job, yes.

Does anyone really believe that sticking with a guy so hopelessly out of depth is a good idea?

Seriously, there can't have been many managers in FL history to lose their first five games, scoring only twice.


To be fair, only a Player / Manager would have any chance of scoring twice

After the game I had a quick chat with one of the bods on the gates and was told that loads of people had said that they would be willing to renew their seasons if we were relegated but NOT if this manager is left in charge.


What - turnstile staff conducting exit polls on ST renewals?

:shock:

Yes, our little cuckoo has really let the mask slip with that one. :lol:

I suspect it's 101 time.


No, no its all true, I was asked on my way out :D

Play DM up front for the rest of the season and he'll probably outscore Sow.

Play me up front and I will probably score as many as Sow

You're a Sunderland fan as well aren't you? (You're a bloody Jonah ;) )
How are they reacting to Chris Coleman's unimpressive start? Are they calling for him to be sacked? Or do they recognize that he took the club over in a shit state and are giving him time? They've tried two experienced managers with good CV's this season and it's been a nightmare. Are their fans calling for manager #3 this season or are they using some common sense?


Yes I am. Sunderland and MK. What a bloody season I am having!

No, they are not calling for his head - well, not many of them abyway. He has genuinely been dealt an impossible hand - far, far worse than DM has. Plus he has picked up the odd win, the odd point in amongst the crushingly inevitable losses. God only knows why he took on the job to be honest.

I work in the social housing sector. Last year someone from the local authority I work for threw her toys out of the pram. Either they go or I go sort of thing. Unfortunately for her, the council called her bluff, and she was left with no choice but to resign. That was over a year ago. She's still getting the blame for things now. The new guys absolutely useless, but it's never his fault. "Oh this is one that Chris looked at".

Always blame the last guy. It's a readymade excuse.

Thats true. Home attendances are down almost 15-20k now. But still the message doesn't seem to be getting through to the ladybit of an owner. Fans are at each other's throats on forums about what to do next - protests etc.
