Crazy Diamond Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 I think if anyone deserves it right now, it's him. Spent a bomb and has delivered the same as Bruce so far.

As I say, a lot of money spent. Adam Johnson is on over £100k a week, a lot of money for a midtable side to spend - a hell of a wage for a potential Championship player. Sessegnon apparently took a big pay rise to convince him to stay in the UK. Fletcher cost how much? It goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 Really odd timing, waant there a FACT the other day to say that every team that has sacked their manager from March onwards has gone down?......... That "FACT" was about teams in the bottom 3 at the time of the sacking. Sunderland are not currently in the bottom 3. Although given their dreadful form, upcoming fixture list and season ending injuries to their captain and top scorer they could well be soon!

Tom8558 Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 They have a horrible run in and have just sacked their manager. Can't see them staying up now. Looks like they will join Reading and QPR in the Championship next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsland Red Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 George Burley was a proven manager with a track record.The media also like "Arry. It is the media love in with these guys that hide the fact that for the amount of money they p*ss away (O'N at Villa and now Sunderland ) their real record is poor.

max_saints Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 insane decision really. would be even more stupid if they don't have an immediate replacement, but even still, whoever takes over needs to hit the ground running with only 7 games left. if it means they've just secured themselves 18th position then I won't mind!

MOSaint Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 Weird timing, but given Wigan, Villa & ourselves are picking up points there is a good chance O'Neill would have taken them down given their form at the moment and tough run in. Edit: if they really do appoint an assistant for the rest of the season, they are in deep ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 Funnily enough, this means that O'Neill still doesn't have a relegation on his CV! He's escaped by the skin of his teeth. I think Sunderland could go down. Wigan and Villa have shown the fight in recent weeks, and both have goalscorers, Kone and Benteke. Sunderland and Norwich could be the ones struggling - and as for this sacking, it's baffling. Very strange decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
