Did a great job at Bradford and decent enough job at Bolton
Sunderland isn't an "impossible" job but it does carry high expectations about success and the style of football. Parky seems to have continued on from Ross with functional football and lots of draws!

Maybe Sunderland just aren’t as good as their fans think they are

Probably true for most clubs. I use to follow Wolves a bit. When they were mired mid-table Championship, their fans were overwhelmed with joy when they got promoted. Now they are bitter they are not top 4. They think they are a "massive club" because the won the title when Elvis was 19-years old and don't understand why an ownership that financially cheated their way to the PL won't break the budget and flaunt FFP rules even more to win hardware.

It must surely be Paul Cook for the Sunderland job, although he did quit Wigan in their real hour of need .. does this show a bit of a lack of 'moral fibre' and commitment to a very precarious cause ?
The odds are nonsense anyway. They stick any sort of name in at 25/1 to attract gullible punters, the idea that Eddie Howe would go to the other end of the country to manage in L1 is laughable
Still gutted I missed the 14/1 available for Bowyer. You can find some real value in those markets if you do a bit of research. Bookies always seem to be clueless.
Cowley, Cook and Stendel all look worth a punt at those prices.
re Poyet .. as @Chris_from_Sidcup writes, he was sacked by Sunderland back in 2015 and has pulled up few managerial trees since .. he did OK at Bordeaux but was (again) sacked and has not managed anywhere for over two years .. 1/10 to return to the North East ? .. VERY odd odds

He was 1/10 until he turned the job down.
Sunderland were all ready to offer it to him hence the odds but apparently he didnt want to drop down to League 1.
although Diego Poyet has liked a tweet where someone said that wont be the reason because he knew what division Sunderland were in before discussions started so there must be another reason

Cheers, I MUST keep up .. I still fancy Paul Cook for the job but the Cowleys also could potentially do well, though Sunderland lately is a bit of a manager's graveyard .. whatever, I wouldn't be surprised if the job went to a foreigner
Apparently Sunderland have Lee Johnson lined up. Breaking news in the last hour or so. Think that’s about as far away from the “safe pair of hands” that Parky was as possible.
Johnson could lead them all the way up the table quickly but also see the possibility that they get even worse and he’s gone by March/April. High ceiling, incredibly low floor.

Very streaky manager at Brizzle. Did well at OIdham and Barnsley, both times walking out on them for another job...
Farve leaves Dortmund after the 5-1 defeat yesterday
They're hard to please. 5 points off top and just won his champions league group.
Dreadful result yesterday but seems a bit premature, especially as its not as if they have a big name lined up as his replacement. They've given his assistant Edin Terzic the job as caretaker manager until the end of the season!

Poyet was 1/10 this morning, but has now apparently decided he doesnt want to manage in League 1.

Surprised he's taking charge today

They've now replaced him as manager in 2000, 2010 and 2020.

It's not as if they're down there because of financial problems either (like say Southend)
