Not worked out for him for some reason.
Maybe missing Robbo?.

Sky News said sacked. The new Clough and Taylor 15 years ago!
Clough was not as good without Taylor. Robbo wasn't at Sunderland.

They were just waiting until Phil Brown was off the market
Robbo it seems has sense.
Sunderland are an odd club; massive following but they've won nothing, and sustain themselves primarily on their rivalry with Newcastle.
I wasn't sure it was the right job for MON when he took it on - it seems that's been bourn out.

They've dodged a bullet there then!

Him needing a job and us needing a manager just never seems to coincide, does it?
It never will, will it!

Agree. Mackems thrive on passion and are nice enough people for it. O'Neill likes access to a chequebook as well as a cult following. He's been crap since Leicester to be honest. Celtic doesn't count.

I nearly put that, but changed it, because you never know what will happen in the future, but you could be right.

I wonder if someone can schmell the history at Sunderland?

I wonder if a possible return to Fester could be on the cards?
Good call.

As if Pearson needs any more pressure, this can't be good news for him!

Chris, have you got a problem with the clubs up there? Sunderland are a huge club, with potential for far more. And won nothing???? They've won the title 6 times and the Cup twice...are you 12 years old and think Sky Sports invented football?
