A 2nd season in league one, not playing that well and they're still averaging crowds of over 30k.3

Phil Parkinson would be a great appointment for them.0

Wasn’t Portsmouth running away with it this time last season ?Richard J said:
Not for Sunderland in League 1 . Compare this to Ipswich who seem to be running away with the title .blackpool72 said:17 points from 11 games is a reasonable start to the season.
A bit unlucky to get the sack this early in the season.

Having caught up with their takeover news, I guess we can see a bit of panic in their owners. The deal has fallen through and they shelled out £4m in Jan on Grigg, which has basically gone down the toilet. Whether they blame Ross for making a bad call with Grigg I don't know, but as we saw, late in the Jan window, if you want a new striker you either pay inflated sums or get Josh Parker (who, lest we ever forget, won that free kick, on merit and with no little skill).
And who now is going to pay big money to buy them when it is now clear that the Americans, who sound like proper businessmen, took a good look at the business and decided it didn't add up? We know what that's like too, but the difference is that RD whatever else, regards this as pretty much a hobby. Donald cannot afford to do so, increasingly it looks like he always intended to make a quick profit.
Feel sorry for their fans.0 -
I understand Grigg was not who Ross wanted. But he was a negative manager and they will be better off having a more positive one in charge.0

Grigg scored last night maybe he'll come good/0

Looks as though Phil Parkinson has got the job. Good luck to him.

Great appointment for Sunderland. He’ll have no trouble getting them promoted with the resources they’ll have available.1
-
Fans aren't happy about it as expected.0
-
I wonder if Parky will be as popular as the last ex Charlton manager to have that job.
They even built a statue of him.0 -
It is the barrel they are fishing in. It could be a good appointment for them. We shall see.0
-
Always been a Parkie fan and sure this is a good appointment, but it will be Interesting to see him manage a club with resources. *Colchester', Charlton, Bradford and Bolton were clubs with no money while he was there and IMHO he had degrees of success at each. Some managers do well with mo ey, others dont .. its Parkies time to step up.
Mind you Sunderland still remains a basket case!
* No idea about Hull where he failed!0 -
3-0 up before half time, his first game in charge. Hope he does well and hope Sunderland do well, we’re not competing with them anymore...2

4 nil to Parky’s boys3

I'm obviously in the minority here.
But I like Sunderland
And don't like Parkinson0 -
I have some relatives who are Tranmere fans. t is obvious they are going down. I will be very very surprised if they stay up. I think they have won only 2 games all season. Against Bolton and a sneaky win a week ago which they don't deserve.0

I didn't rate him as manager and wanted rid, I'm not sure how anyone can dislike him though, Top guy who put his hand in his pocket to pay for atleast one of out loan players.blackpool72 said:I'm obviously in the minority here.

I like Parkinson. Had a terrible squad when he was with us as Powell found out.
Deserves a chance with a team with more resources.
Rocked a v neck jumper.6 -
Good luck to Parkinson.
Being in charge of a cafc team that loses to Millwall 4-0 was no way back for many fans.
Being Sunderland's manager has always been a poison chalice but after the torture of being Bolton's boss, being the mackems manager should be like paradise and a walk in the parky.1 -
Still have nightmares about that game. We were shocking defensively with Llera having a really bad game.soapboxsam said:Good luck to Parkinson.

Llera could be totally rubbish or score a great equaliser in that boxing day game against Swindon when we had 9 men for about 50 minutes when both Burton and Sam Sodje both got sent off in bizarre circumstances.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Never got a proper explanation for the bizarre sendings off - Sodje was a very dodgy character.soapboxsam said:
