Apologies if this has been put elsewhere but a friend's cousin who works at the Whites Hotel checked Mick McCarthy in this morning at 1.30am

 

 

 

 

haven't sunderland just sold a few of that team off at massive profit

 

isn't that what we were supposed to be doing?

 

strikes me mccarthy fits that bill

I know Richardson went this summer, but not a clue on how much, I think they paid a lot for him too. Others I'm unsure on.

sorry I assume you meant the wolves team. No arguments on that front, but he paid big fees for them too.

He ultimately fails at every club he has gone too, other than maybe millwall 15 Years ago. What's to like?

 

That's how 95% of Managers lose their jobs isn't it? It's very rare a Manager retires at a club having been loved by all throughout his tenure.

 

These Managers - your Riochs and your Big Sams come round once a decade if you're lucky.

Theres a few id prefer to McCarthy but to be honest i just want Coyle gone regardless of who comes in. I'll think about the replacement when the axe has fallen, unlike the chairman i dont need to bother doing that before the current one is sacked. Anyone but coyle is the camp im in at the moment.

 

and me.

I reckon there's history with Tom and Mick?

 

Go on Tom, spill

£6.5m for Fletcher, sold for £12m+

 

£600k for Jarvis, sold for £10m.

COYLE going know where he's here for the long term

Gartside should resign as for COYLE if he loves the club like he said he does he should go now

Stinks of lack of ambition

is that a nailed on ITK factamundo?

pushing up daisies

 

let's just ask pele again ?

 

Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

I dont think he is going anywhere, just gotta hope he is right and he can turn it round

Depends on how it's punctated really! "COYLE going know where he's here for the long term"

 

Coyle going, know where?

Is there a reason why you have "COYLE" in big letters?

Church? Sock shopping? Temperance bar on Elgin Street?

He had the same English teacher as Little Whitt.

To set the scene and show his anger, presumably.

Dids, you dont even watch bolton , so please stop making ridiculous comments about something yo know nothing about.

 

Cheers Wayne. I'd have said that myself but I don't think me and Dids are speaking.

I think we all know, deep down, that Coyle is going nowhere for the immediate future if it's down to Gartside.

 

Gartside's position is linked to him and as such, he's not going to support sacking Coyle go unless he has absolutely no other option.

 

No option is when Eddie Davies calls. Davies has invested a lot of money into the club (not just transfers) during the Coyle era, some of which is paying off - like the youth set-up. But he's no fool and he'll know that another season out of the Prem will batter his personal investment.

 

I'd say two games after the break (which gives Coyle chance to rethink tactics) is the cut off point.

the crazy thing is that it could actually work

 

but he's too stubborn to change

 

we've seen that

I know it's been said before but he should change the coaching staff. Promote Sammy Lee and get a new defensive coach.

 

We're skint and this would be cheaper than sacking and bringing in a new lot, including manager.

 

 

Sorted, thanks wanderer

I now what you mean.

I'm surprised Coyle hasn't played a 'joker' yet (apart from Tyrone Mears, boom boom), by appointing a fans' favourite i.e. Supa John, in some kind of coaching role. Another way to buy time would be to get shut of his coterie of buffoons, but I think he'll stick by them - he seems loyal if nowt else (apart from a nice guy).

 

I stand by my prediction of last week, he'll be given until New Year's Day and Leeds. This barring a run of say, five or six defeats.

 

I'd put up with this, as, even if results continue like they are, history suggests we wouldn't be adrift of the play-offs come Christmas/New Year meaning all would not be lost for a new manager. But, if Gartside gets rid then and the replacement is Mick McCarthy or someone of his ilk...Well that'd be very shoddy.

 

Then again, I'm sure the club appoint those whose 'face fits' with the board, rather than football reasons. I'd say this rules McCarthy out to be honest.

 

So then, is anyone else prepared to wait until Christmas, on the proviso we get someone decent (even if it breaks our tradition of 'matey' appointments), or should we get a baked potato in tomorrow?

 

You decide!

They've added the vowels back to the branding.

Having just caught up with where we're up to not having seen any media all day BUT sat back through most of it contemplating McCarthy being our new manager I must admit to not feeling massviely overjoyed about it and from the articles and quotes from Coyle in tonights BEN his position is surely now untenable how on earth can a couple of extra games turn this round now he's basically admitted to running out of ideas and that the players aren't responding god this is not good stuck between a manager in an untenable position and McCarthy these are dark days people dark days
