Bits & Bobs

Another one bites the dust - Sunderland have sacked Phil Parkinson, bit drastic when they're in 8th place but what do I know . . . . .

Just over 12 months about average recently for " big " club Sunderland eighth place in the table god help any manager if they are in the bottom three, must cost a fortune paying all these guys off, won't stop them moaning about losses though when this season with no fans is accounted for. I will send my CV in the post just a month of there salaries and pay off will do for me.

its all about the club and fans expectations. 8th place for stanley would equal a new managers contract 8th at sunderland warrents the sack. the managers news over the last few days did have one real surprise. bradfords stuart mccall given some extension with his side quickly dropping into the league 2 danger area.

Expectations make me laugh 2 games lost this season least in league 1 apart from promotion,s to the premiership they haven't actually won anything since 1973, it doesn't get the tag of poisoned chalice for nothing. As for McCall at Bradford how many times as he had that job?

i know, but the vast majority of their fans expect to be seeing em as a championship club or at least topping division 1. even at stanley i think expectations have changed over the last few seasons especially with newer fans. if stanley did get relegated from div.1 and then struggled near the bottom of div.2 the season after then i could even see coleys days being numbered.

This is the problem with most " big " clubs manager comes in immediate results are expected even with someone else,s squad, time isn't a commodity common amongst managers hazard of the job vastly owtwieghed by big salaries will be no shortage of applications.
 
Read an interesting article written by a season ticket holder and supporter of 50+ years regarding how is club have picked the fans to attend. They have over 3000 ticket holders and have picked 1800 for the first game mainly socially bubbled groups and then delivered a bombshell by saying until restrictions on limits are lifted it will be same 1800. This a club that offered nobody a option of a refund not a great way to treat loyalty amongst supporters.

The decision wasn't all about league position. Phil can be very feisty and principled.
He made demands for January and spun the coin saying back me or else.
Or else came up.
Bye bye.
 
Who said he spoke the truth ? Matter of opinion.
He made his demands - the Owner and the Board disagreed with him - he said my way or the highway so highway it was.

Simple. Take it easy with the Weetabix don't have more than two.
