The Martin O'Neill thread (with added sacking #2188)

[N'ZMAV]

He was going to take them down, someone else may keep them up.

[Clampy]

I'm not sure if that's  good news for us or bad news. Either way, I'm surprised it's happened.

[Quiet Lion]

not good news for us at all. Tomorrow gets bigger by the minute.

They were my thoughts. With their shit form and loss of Fletcher I thought they might get dragged down.

Says a lot when its newcastle fans ringing sky gutted that o Neill has gone.
His sacking may save  Sunderland .

How?

I think they were going down with him , now a  new man  may give the club a lift  and get some results.

That's the worry. Hopefully they'll appoint a numpty.

[Fernando Partridge]

Dont worry mcleish will take over and save them !

[ozzjim]

I am in absolute shock. 

I reckon Kevin Keegan would be up for one more challenge Davey!

   The timing is shocking. We must have someone already lined up. I am absolutely stunned.

with him you were down. without you might survive. Good call from short

1. They are taking the piss.

2. It won't. That is the most retrograde step i've seen Sunderland take in my lifetime, probably the worst since not giving Brian Clough the job. We are now down imho.

I just can't see who is out there who can make a difference. Doesn't this normally end in tears?

[Tucson Villain]

Will it be an interim until the end of the season ?

[Lizz]

Bloody hell! I've been pratting about sorting out digital photographs on my PC tonight [I know how to make the most of a Saturday night]. What a waste of time when all this was going on.

 Collymore reckons sunderland have told him a new manager will be in place before their next game.

[Davey B]

Collymore reckons sunderland have told him a new manager will be in place before their next game.

I would expect this to be true. They will have had talks going on with someone, the question is, who?
