He’s done a brilliant job

Sunderland have dreams of big things and why not, the success at neighbours Newcastle gnaws at them, Mowbray has done well there but not well enough.

Ridiculous decision if true-they’ve had a makeshift defence for ages.

Ridiculous, he has taken a two-bob bit team into the Championship playoffs, in their first season

Haven't they lined up Francesco Farioli to take over as head coach

He's done a great job there.

Would be an insane decision.

They haven’t spent next to nothing, they’ve spent millions and the loan of Diallo won’t have been cheap.

They’re mental. I have it on good authority that he’s a premier league quality manager

Sacking Mowbray would be absolutely crazy, he's done fantastically well for a team in their first season back in the championship,
And when you consider that he's had no no9 for virtually the whole season after Everton recalled Ellis Simms and Ross Stewart got injured, you have to ask just how realistic their ambition is!

They’ve spent a few million on players and have high quality loans

£6m according to Transfermarkt spent, doesn't include a fee for Jack Clarke, Spurs spent millions on him in 2019 so I'd assume no less than £3m. They are big spenders compared to most at this level.

it was the same old Mowbray in the end - 5 minutes to go and let’s pass the ball around the back line

I think Jack Clarke cost them a reported 4 million?

They spent £2m on Ballard too

Likely loan fees for Gelhardt and Diallo also. Both wages won't be cheap either.

They must be minted punting that sort of money on traffic cones

Surely they didn’t truly believe when the season started they’d be challenging at the top end. Might have had a bit of money but he’s had a young squad and injury problems including losing their star striker for half of the season, personally I think he’s done very well. Knee jerk reactions appear to be the norm these days for a lot of clubs. Hope it bites them on the arse and they sink like a stone.

The owner is loaded, their promotion is simply a matter of time.

If true this seems a bizarre decision. Are the owners of Sunderland deluded about the stage of development of their club? Mowbray isn't the best coach in the Championship, but he's done a pretty good job this season.

Their wage bill on promotion was not far off 3 times what ours was. For reference ours was £6.5m compared to £16m for them. They've added to it subsequently, albeit they employ 10x as many administrative staff as we do.

The owner is about 12 years old, probably thinks he's playing football manager...

So try and work an opening or just lump it in when you know Luton are the stronger team in the air?

It's amazing how you can still be critical of someone after they have done a really good job of getting them even in that position. Let's hope we don't give you an opportunity to be smug about 'Robins failing' tonight or whatever tripe you come out with.

I have heard on the great vine that Grendal has privately recommended Kenny Jackett to them !

Are we really ruining another thread with this Kenny Jackett rubbish? Why’s it allowed to pollute the whole forum?
