He was the first of my heroes. Doyle, while not held in the same level as BSA was a total letdown who got a lot longer than he was entitled to because despite the results, he was a former fan’s favourite. I’m not that arsed that the bubble burst and now he’s that jock cunt who couldn’t manage a decent meal, never mind a football team. I don’t particularly want Kevin Nolan to follow him down the same path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidLeesMullet Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hairy muff mate, I voted for Nigel Clough in the survey, proven track record with various clubs, but would he want to come to a 4th division club. Wonder if we should have nabbed the Cowley Brothers whilst they were at Lincoln? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it wasn't like Coyle was just picked at random because he had a catchy chant. He'd done a fantastic at Burnley and was seen as one of the brightest up and coming managers even while managing us. Edited June 13, 2020 by Tombwfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really Coyle, Dougie, Lennon and Parkinson were all coups at the time, relative to where we were. Even Hill really considering we were already down. Maybe those with promising CVs will have caught on to the fact we're career suicide, but I doubt it. Imagine we'll still be able to have our pick of the names mentioned.

Duck Egg Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Clough was mentioned as a possible on Sunderlands site the other day. His record generally suggests he'll have better options than us and I dont expect him to rush back into management just yet. It's not an exact science. Someone with little or no experience could just as easily make things click, as an experienced coach who's had problems elsewhere. Please God we get lucky this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
