I hope he does.

What decent manager is there who would take the job at this time?

Exactly ...... 

I think O'Neill is a very limited manager, and a total shit, but honestly, you can't replace your manager and halt a slide like that in the few games remaining.

They have lost their nerve. Go to be good news for us, can't think there is anybody out there. Martin O'neil hasn't seem the same bloke since he left us, whatever you think of his style he seems to have lost his enthusiasm.

Agree they have lost their nerve. Agree his enthusiasm hasn't seemed the same since he left us. Also agree with your other post that this sort of decision at this stage of a season normally ends in tears. One of their fanzine editors on SSN fancies Peter Reid back till the end of the season. Bookies favourite is Di Matteo, followed by Hughes then Curbishley. David Craig on SSN is reporting this with the tone of someone reporting on the death of the Queen but says wheels are in motion and the new guy could be announced as early as Monday.

First of all, two words. Ha ha!

I'm not sure potting Pubey is going to relegate or save Sunderland. It could go either way. It isn't the best time to make a sacking but it might play out in there favour if they have someone decent lined up.

I'd much rather he got sacked with us staying up at their expense. Now if that happens I'll feel a bit bad as I like Sunderland and their supporters. Hopefully they'll appoint someone else I dislike so I can feel less bad.

Old school manager - didnt change or adapt with the modern game.

Henry Winter is reportedly in a coma after cry-wanking himself dry.

I've just looked on that Sunderland forum and they are talking about getting Moyes, and wondering what his contract situation is.

That's possibly the most deluded bit of football chat I've ever encountered.

I hope he does.

And lands on MON.

Him and Paddy Barclay will probably be consoling each other about now, embraced in a manly hug, wittering about how their spiritual leader Martin is truly too good for football.

Moyes will probably leave everton but no chance of him going to Sunderland .

That would make absolutely no sense.
