Unknown Soldier is right. Sadly, they really are in the doldrums at the moment, and no amount of deckchair rearranging or putting the odd player in a new position will help much. They need some new talent, but I don't think they are able to afford it.

Urb definitely has a point: he's easily good enough for a sucessful career in Europe, maybe with a side like Roma, perhaps. I think they might need a better manager. Their current one is on a two year contract, but he isn't really doing that well.

I said on another thread that you made some silly posts, but the above has proved me wrong, maybe I should edit that post

Can you imagine him at Roma? I bet he doesn't even own a scarf.

By media do you mean Urban?

I don't think there's that much hype about O'Neill. The whole point is that he held Villa together as a team, proved time after time that he was reliable and a solid manager. So what the hell is he doing at Sunderland? He's easily good enough to be with a much better team.

That is what I think is your reason.

evi1gun · 12-06-2011, 02:35 PM

By media, I mean ..... media, like pundits or radio journo's that make out he's some great manager.

Solid ....yes.

Even good but why go overboard about him a lot more than other managers?

As for Sunderland,

Big club, big fan base .....

Why not Sunderland???

Don't you think he's capable of handling a side with greater ability? At Sunderland all he'll do is rearrange a few deckchairs before they sink. At Roma, who knows how far he'd have gone? And the pressure will be just as much. The owners will expect a lot from him, and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up fired for treading water where previously they'd been sinking.

I'd like to think Sunderland are a sleeping giant.

I think O'neill would have been a good manager back in the Clough days.

I just cant see any of these millionaire footballers taking him seriously.

Just like Robbie didn't in the youtube vid above.

Millionaires eh!!!
