Shrewsbury Manager: Sam Ricketts and his Assistant are the next to join the unemployment line...
The Shrews let a 2 goal lead slip away last night and I wonder if the owner/s made this decision in a hasty bad temper. They are having a bad season so far but Rickets has not done too bad a job at a little club that has nil cash to splash on players.
8 games without a win isn't great though
A strange club though, in that they had one great season in 2017/18 which neither they nor their manager Paul Hurst have been able to repeat subsequently. It seems a long time ago that they beat us in the playoffs, winning both legs 1-0

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 ?

Also speculation that new owners have made the decision but that seems like wishful thinking from fans.
I mean what sensible well run club would let potential new owners make decisions and drive company cars before they have closed the deal?
Poyet hasn't managed in England since Sunderland sacked him 5 years ago.
