    You say this but blackburn are a proper financial basket case regardless of what you think of King, we’re more stable than Blackburn

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Robbie Keane interesting has Rory Delap as his assistant. Be interesting to get Delap working on MVEs long throws

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Think that one’s a type. Robbie is the same odds on sky bet

    Right who's the next manager then?

    I I’ve actually mentioned him before. He’s somewhat rated as a coach, and won the league and cup double in Israel, in what is generally a high pressure environment. obviously it’s not the championship but he has a winner mentality

    Right who's the next manager then?

    They will if need be - i don’t actually think the signings have been bad. Generally I think these players are good players. But something isn’t happening - whether Robins has lost the dressing room I don’t know we’ll soon find out. I’m convinced simms will be magically fit on Saturday you’ve...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Becuase on the pitch decisions are on the manager. Always have done. ultimately it should be the players - but we’re not going to dispense of 40m worth of players are we. this is how football has always been

    Right who's the next manager then?

    I’m not against him per se. I actually spoke to my cousin last night and noticed he was doing a good job what with them being top. but I always wonder whether this is currently a short term thing or he’s the real deal. I don’t know enough about him tactically to say either or.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    I would say that a lot of the problems we had are tactical. We don’t seem to know our best 11 - we’ve changed formations multiple times and he’s at the stage where he’s just throwing things at it to see what sticks - see Rudoni at left back. there also seems to be what seems inconsistency in...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    I’m generally optimistic that there’s a plan. But I’m not enamoured with the Bloomfield link

    Head Coach rather than Manager

    I can give you my thoughts? football/sport in general has moved on from 11 blokes down the local factory playing down the field. fitness is now better than it was 20 years ago and you need to fine tune that. The game is quicker, there’s tiny things that improve bc A lot I 10x that we wouldn’t...

    Head Coach rather than Manager

    It’s constant improvement, like any other job - if someone better comes along you bring them in. You can reject change all you want, it’s a structure that is in place in the top levels of the sport. It makes sense to move in that direction

    Head Coach rather than Manager

    I’ve been saying this for a while now. It’s a logical business move. it makes a smoother transition long term. With a manager, he hires everyone and buys his own players. with our structure and most modern structure - a certain profile of coaches and players are brought in and the head coach...

    Doug King out

    It’s not impossible though is it - hire a manager that turns out to be good, and we’ll all be behind him again let’s not pretend we’re any different to any other fanbase. We’ll be as fickle as everyone of them

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Nov

    I reckon this is well down the line. The new manager will be place during the international window. curveball - maybe it is Carsley and we’re waiting for him to finish with England

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Nov

    Bizarre comments ain’t they - we all have disagreements over manager, players, coaches and owners. but we’re all supposed to have the same want of having us win every game. Almost as bad as the “hope we go bust so wasps pick up the pieces people”

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Nov

    I don’t disagree with that statement. I’m philosophical on the whole situation. it’s football. This sacking shouldn’t surprise anyone. Robins has been throwing things at the board to see if they stick for a while now. Rudoni at left back, Sakamoto at AMC it’s a sad day, and Im gutted Robins...

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    I’d look specifically at the last 11 home games - 8 defeats in that time. away performances aside, we make our money on the ticket sales which are top priced. Season tickets gonna be a hard sell if we keep losing at home
