  • Seems a very good appointment to me after a few bad ones - manager who has experience of getting out of the league they are trying to get out of.

    Main complaint I've seen is that he's the cheap option. Just because he's on a free doesn't mean he's not a good choice.  Who were they expecting?! 
  • Parkinson has done well everywhere he's been (maybe except Hull in his early days).

    Not forgetting relegating Charlton after a (was it ?) 18 games without a win :smile:
  • Phil Parkinson been confirmed as Sunderland Manager
    he'll steady the proverbial ship there .. not the most talented squad but surely good enough to get out of L1 even after the soul destroying Wembley defeats of last season .. as ever, we will see
    Surely one of the most talented squads in L1? Maguire, Gooch, McGeady, Grigg, Leadbitter. 

    Definitely underperforming, but the raw ingredients are there

    I bet Daniel Levy must be getting ideas after this about who should replace Poch later this season.😜

    I'm in a Chinese Sunderland chat group and apparently some of the members there are not pleased. I tried to convince them that Parky is a very good and proven manager at the level of second and third division, and they should feel positive about this appointment instead of slagging him off before he even starts working for their club. 

    Of course the job ahead for Parky is a very challenging one as Sunderland seems to have been a graveyard for managers in recent years. But I really hope he'll turn things around for them and take them forward. Best of luck to him.
    Sunderland fans have ideas way above their standing.

    Seem to think they should be attracting premier league level managers just because they get big crowds. The fact is they're not even the best club in league one right now.

    Parkinson will certainly steady the ship there but his football isn't great. Opinions differ depending on who you ask. Bradford fans love him, Hull fans hate him and Bolton fans are pretty hit and miss about him. Fur us i thought he did ok, but pretty average really.
  • Parky did a similar job to Bowyer in getting the club in a promotion position using loans, out of contract players and some coming through the reserves.
  • Rumours in Italy about Max Allegri to Man United have stepped up this week.

    After Juventus he has often be linked that he wants to manage in England and has apparently been learning English for a while.
    Spurs and United both mentioned in Italian press over the last 6 months or so but lots more mentions for him to United this past weekend.

  • Man Utd were my team as a kid (Dad supported them) until I was old enough to go Charlton matches with my mates, so got a real soft spot for them. 

    Anyone could see United improved because Mourinho had gone rather than because Solskjaer had arrived. 

    Knee jerk reaction to give him the job. Should have just us him until end of season then appointed someone else.

    Crazy to think that you could argue that games coming up away to both Norwich and Bournemouth are two bigger games for United than vs Liverpool this weekend.

    You'll be hard pushed to find anyone who thinks United get anything Sunday.

    When Man U lose very heavily this weekend, I think OGS will be gone

    Maxi Allegro, how English can you get!
  • Good luck to Parky. A decent feller who knows how to polish a turd, as it were.
  • AFC Wimbledon manager Wally Downes has been suspended for four weeks after admitting breaching Football Association rules around betting.

    I think we can rule out an application from Tubby Mctalkbollocks (Karl Robinson).
  • Wally Downes has been sacked by AFC Wimbledon
    Quite interestingly their form has picked up since Downes was suspended anyway!

    That's because he put a week's wages on them to get relegated at the start of the season!
  • if cockadoodle Cocu is still at Derby by Christmas, I'll think about eating my tastiest hat .. his was a ridiculous appointment from the off
  • Cocu & Woodgate show zero personality.
    They could be good motivators, but they show nothing when interviewed.

    The same criticism used to get levelled at Curbs, to be fair. 
  • Woodgate has a medium/long term job to do at Boro. I reckon his job is safe for this season.
