Can Sunderland get the result tonight

There's an interesting podcast on Russell Martin talking to a Southampton fan on H&H, if you're a subscriber. Backs up both of our arguments to an extent. Worth a listen.

Looks legit if Fab is going with it. Difficult to weigh it all up without knowing who else is on the short list. Ancelotti, a guy who has a famous dad but has never played the game, nor operated without his Dad looking over him would be a huge risk for not being able to handle the pressure that is Rangers.

Agree 100%, this notion that manager needs to understand playing killie on a wet wednesday night is bollocks too, play football, beat cluggers, it's really not hard. Granted it was only one season, but Gerrard showed how it's done, no one got near us that season mainly because we knew how to keep the ball, suck teams out, and punish them.

Probably you Bearger. How dare you have the kahoonas to provide alternative views outwith the agreed doctrine...

I hate to bring him up in this debate but Ange disproved the notion that a manager must be attached to the team prior to being appointed. He succeeded through good recruitment and a clear playing style that showed little respect for the teams in the SPL. I get the trepidation of an anattached manager due to our last experience but Clement was way too stubborn whilst operating with 1 hand tied behind his back. Alternatively, you could also say Gio and Beale knew what they dealing with due to their prior Scottish football experiences and look how that turned out. I really wished we had gone with Muscat when we had the chance. Oh well...

Hopefully just speculation

Aaah! Didn't see that. Cheers.

Not going to happen now that the other lot have signed a 10 year deal (or something like that...) with Adidas.

If it is Ancelotti Jr then it may go down the same road as Gio and Clement where we are good in Europe but not the strongest domestically. He is likely to know the Continental game well and play that type of football but have no clue about high punting, rough tackling trips away to Kilmarnock and the likes. There has always been a view someone who supports and knows the club or league should be involved. But getting the right man to do this is not easy and it doesnt always have to be a Scot. I didnt / havent seen much from Alex Rae or currently Ferguson, Dodds, McCann or McGregor. Perhaps someone like Amoruso would fit the bill.

Collars are for being in an office! Never liked them on a kit although the 94-95 Purple got a pass and I suppose the 96-97 one did aswell but kits were designed better 30 years ago by a mile! The sooner we get Adidas back the better.
