Whats everyone's thoughts regarding them announcing Phil Parkinson as their new manager?
Massive club they are remember!! Too big for league 1Considering there was talk on their forum that they would like Chris Hughton, Sam Allardyce etc. Or that they could get any manager from a team in League One.
I’d say it’s pretty funny.

I can see why clubs at this level would go for Parkinson, he has taken clubs out of this league and, to be honest, I think (although ask me again if we ever play that way and win) I'd rather play ugly football and win than play the way that we do and finish in the bottom half of the table. But, the thing about this is that it shows Sunderland's owners have no vision whatsoever for how they want their team to play as they went from approaching Robins to appointing Parkinson. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but they are polar opposites in their approach.
Yup, I'm in no way saying I think Robins would have done a good job there (I don't think he would have) and I think he's doing a decent job here without being spectacular. I would just be worried if I were a Sunderland fan that their recruitment policy seemed to be to just approach random managers and go from someone who plays out from the back to someone who plays long ball. I have quite enjoyed reading the reactions on their forum though.Ross has also been criticised for defensive play
Sunderland scores 80 goals last season and we scored 54
only 7 scored less and 2 of them were relegated
Not really a myth then LG?! Hes done it twice from L1...that's two more than the majority of managers in this league.This thing about him getting promotions is a bit of a myth isn’t it. His teams are always up there but I think he’s only had 2/3 promotions.
Is that just two promotions then? His reputation suggests more. He should definitely have taken that Bradford team up.Not really a myth then LG?! Hes done it twice from L1...that's two more than the majority of managers in this league.
You could argue that Bolton was an 'easy one' due to money but he did it with Colchester as well.
Compared to his peers, he's done well at this level.

Overall win percentage of 36.8 (according to wiki) and one of those promotions was one that Bolton would have expected. Couple that with his shithouse brand of football and I'd avoid. Steve Evans has a record of promotions too.Maybe as far as Bradford goes but he's still two ahead of the majority of managers in the league.

Not really just takes our minds off our own current situation.Embarrassing obsession with Sunderland amongst this fanbase
