Manager for next season

[Lobsterboy]

I'd want Moyes but if he didn't want the job would anyone take Fat Sam if Sunderland went down?

He seems a better choice than Pearson who appears to be a psychopath and most of the other names McCarthy, Bruce, McLaren etc are pretty uninspiring...

Not advocating his appointment but merely asking the question!

Can't stand the guy but better than Pearson, whom I despise

I'd imagine he would stay at Sunderland and bring them back up like he did with West Ham.

Would be the best appointment we could make other than Moyes.

I think he's being found out a bit this time at Sunderland.  He was starting to struggle at West Ham too.

Happy Harry has prem and championship experience and will happily bankrupt the club. And he's English!

Got West Ham promoted then finished 13th, 10th, 12th. How is that starting to struggle?

Also Sunderland were being written off after 8 games this season as absolute garbage, everyone said they were gone, yet if they win their game in hand they are a point off safety. I think he's doing OK tbf, not great but kept them competitive.

Maybe. But then the league had been very tight last few seasons.  I might be tainted by knowing a west ham fan too well who hated him with a passion.

I think we discount people like Allardyce. the club have put together a 'Football board' in order to pool their collective football knowledge. If that resulted in a Manager like Allardyce being appointed, i think even Randy might start questioning whether that board was fit for purpose!

Allardyce would get us up (and probably keep us up the season after) but the problem starts with the style of football. He plays the worst football I think I've ever seen since I started watching football in the 70s. It's unbearable to watch.

Like we can afford to be that picky. If he got us back up then I would have him

He'll more than likely keep Sunderland up anyway so it won't even be a possibility.

The position we're in I'd settle for stability first, then perhaps a push for promotion in year 2.  Do not underestimate the amount of shit that needs addressing behind the scenes; we are in an awful state.  I'm therefore prepared to compromise finesse for hard work and application, meaning if it's Pearson/Allardyce then so be it. 

[ozzjim]

Pulis is worse than Allardyce - the Albion display against us at their place has to be the worst home display from any home team I have ever seen. It was worst than anti football.

Discount people who have been there and done it, in terms of promotion and keeping teams up with ease? I'd rather that than try a fancy appointment, we just tried that with Garde and look where that got us.

'Fancy'. Interesting.
