Mark Robins

I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to manage such a "big club" where the majority of an unusually impatient and unrealistic fanbase would want him out after two losses in a row

Say what you like about our fans, some of who are daft as anything (hi cc84...), but Robins has largely been given plenty of time and patience by most people to get to where we are now. I don't think he'd be an instant success at any club, even given the funds.

The Watford job is the best job in the world for a manager.

Go and get him KLD. No doubt he would love to manage a club of our size.

[Gint11]

Ha ha “go and get Mark Robins”

Sunderland fans just keep on giving dont they.
Off the back of a 6-0 drubbing.

 

[Hutch11]

Just seen Jamie's post , sorry for the duplication

 

[ccfcmad1]

Hilarious

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Id imagine he’d jump at the chance of working with Lee Burge again

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

It’s a good job for somebody, they are a big club just seem a bit strangely run.

 

[Grendel]

It’s a dream job

 

[Hutch11]

I doubt MR would be dreaming of joining them , he had the chance before but turned them down

this thread was so funny to read.

Decent job for someone looking for an early retirement settlement!

It's as if under Mark Robins tenure, we've not had a single massive / embarrassing loss!

Their manager is doing okay.

They'd probably have gone up by now if Jack Ross had remained in charge.

It's a good job for somebody who can win all the games they're in-charge for, forever and all eternity.

 

[oldskyblue58]

Just sacked their manager

Cue unjustified panic amongst our fans

Wonder if he would take O’Hare with him

Wonder if he would take O’Hare with him

The fans there wouldn't appreciate everything he does just because his finishing is poor... oh wait...

 

[Grendel]

I doubt MR would be dreaming of joining them , he had the chance before but turned them down

You would on a five year contract and get another job a year later

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Maybe we can send him to help take them down whilst AV covers for the year and then MR can come back again

 

[Deleted member 9744]

You would on a five year contract and get another job a year later

Although according to you Robins wouldn't get another job.

 

[clint van damme]

whats Astute got to say? He's got a foot in both camps.

Er of course he would

Actually apart from the original post (which might not even be from a Sunderland fan) most of the posters on there seem entirely reasonable - few seem to want him and fewer still think it’s ok to assume he would be interested.

For the most part they are like the fans of many clubs (including us) - decent fans of a football that’s had some very rough times and have been constantly taken for granted and deceived about the reality of finances and takeovers.

So many managers have failed there in recent years that you have to conclude that it’s almost impossible to put things right there.

That said I’m no fan of Johnson and suspect the writing was on the wall when Chris Macguire went back and scored a hat-trick vs them earlier this month and ran 30 yards to take the piss out of Johnson rather than celebrate his first goal.

Johnson did win them the EFL Trophy - their first Wembley victory since 1973 - but with a reputation for poor man management it was odd that he chose the pre-match conference on Friday to ramble on about covid -vaccine conspiracy theories being responsible for Lee Burge’s injury*

To follow that by losing 6-0 to Bolton in front of 5k of your own fans (and on a weekend when there was no Prem football for the media to talk about on 606 etc) was always going to cause speculation on his future.

When I read Johnson sacked my first thought was that Sue Grays report had been released.

Surprised Sunderland aren’t in for Jackett

They’ve got to learn from how most sides have gone up from that league. Not by panic spending on random individuals but by getting well drilled and organised with a touch of quality.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I know they got battered yesterday but strange to sack their manager with 1 day left of the transfer window 2 points off top.

Basket case club. Mad their fans seem to be delighted too.

 

[mark82]

Thought they were about 2nd or 3rd in the league? Assume this isn't just over 1 result? Madness.

"No thanks, another one of these small time lower league plodders who haven’t got a f***ing clue about managing a club of our size with (whether you like it or not) premier league expectations in terms of standards"

You still have time to change your mind @JimmyHillsbeard !

I think this is closer to the truth...

Basket case club. Mad their fans seem to be delighted too.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Tough job at Sunderland has got even tougher now the Toon army are likely to be camped in the top slots of the premier league for ever thanks to that rich a rab pumping his loose change into Newcastle

 

[rob9872]

Adam, Lee, they only need Boris to keep the match ball

 

[CDK]

Surprised Sunderland aren’t in for Jackett

Whats Grendel got to say about that.

 

[Travs]

Had they won on saturday they'd have been top (albeit having played more games than teams around them)

 

[ExmouthNeil]

Surprised Sunderland aren’t in for Jackett

They'll need more than a jacket. It's bloody freezing up there...

 

[no_loyalty]

Rinse and repeat, they always seem to sack a manager at this stage of the season after they are going through a sticky patch. It would be great if they failed to make it up again.
