Sunderlands "World Class"

sundula

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to who might be the "World Class" Manager who is about to take charge of Sunderland

AnCapaillMor

Howard wilkinson again.

Unearthly

Graham Souness :cool:

emc2

Maybe David O'Leary ?????

bucks73

Brian Kerr

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Steve Stanton.
Sven G E
C Mongomery Burns

What's Peter Reid doign these days?

CrazySka

Alex McLeish is who id put my money on, while i dont personally see him as world class, he has won things and unless im mistaken is still unemployed.
Wildcard: Kevin Keegan
Its gotta be someone unemployed (i think).

gandalf

David O'Leary roflol !!!

TBH they don't need a world class manager they need an experienced championship manager to help them survive the season. Its already looking like they are in deep **** !!!

mike65

Anyone left thier job in Italy lately?

Mike.

Rollo Tamasi

Churbishley

Q_Ball

Hoddle.

Its been rumoured that he is to be kevin blackwells replacement. while that rumour hs been denied by bates, maybe hoddle has said he'd be interest in a return to management.

I dont think curbishly would return to management at a championship club after many years at premiership level

LostinBlanch

George Graham? Ron Atkinson?

Töpher

Perhaps he's going to re-hire himself, with a pay rise?

The Rooster

What's Wim Jansen doing these days?

Johnny Giles?!

Big Jack!

I doubt even Quinn would dare to call someone "world class", if they've neither CL or international experience - so I'd say that rules out Curbs.

O'Leary is my serious guess. Semi-finalist in the CL might justify the tag in Quinn's head.

Just had another thought - Terry Venables, combining it with England job, like McClaren used to do.

Cactus Col

Clive Woodward!

Gibsons reply is classic!

mirwillbeback

i'm available.

Roy Keane. :rolleyes:

Im not sure why I care, I mean they would struggle in the eircom league. Hear what Quinn said about his players "they are simply not good enought". How unprofessional.

Stephen Kenny would be the man for the job but I doubt he would make the step down.

[Jackass]

Terry venables.
Ron Atkinson.
Bobby Robson.
Brian Kerr.

They have just announced on SS2 that the *lucky* winner is.......ROY KEANE!!!!

adox

Keane and Quinn together,the breakfast show will have a field day.:D

bizmark

Didnt expect that one

The Muppet

:eek:

Surprised with that but good move by Sunderland.

Paul Tergat

WHAT???? :eek:

I can't understand this for a minute.... him and Quinn?

Sizzler

Id say Quinn must have got down on bended knee...and then some!

You think that this is the realistic aim? 4 games in (maybe 5 i cant remember) and you're talking about just survival?

They should be pushing for at least a play-off place IMO

Zaph

When he said "World Class" i presumed he meant someone with management experience at the highest levels, not a world class player being thrown into his first management job. Not sure I'd like to be a Sunderland fan right now.

A bit late in the day to be spending it if they do? Not many teams want to sell their players now since the season has started.

Id say after the start Sunderland have had they would be glad of survival! They got tonked 3-1 at Southend last wkend FFS !

woodyg

is there a source for this?

Should be interesting

[Jackass]

Hahaha

"You were a sh*t player and you're a sh*t manager!!"

Famous last words Roy? Let's see if you can do any better.

(would be very difficult to do worse, but best of luck...Keane for Ireland after doogle gets fired.)

They have played 4 league games and lost them all , they also lost 2-0 to bottom of the entire football league Bury . Keeping them up looks the realistic target .

Chucky the tree

the year palace got promoted they were just above the relegation zone at christmas. In the championship anything can happen.

As I was saying ...............

if he takes the job, good luck Roy .. Sunderland will be my team of the Championship .... p.s. my old man is probably one of the few old timer sunderland fans.
