Coneys Knee 985 Posted February 2, 2022 I always thought he’d be our Farke replacement. I lived the way he got Barnsley playing, it reminded me of Wagners first season with Huddersfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Segura 84 Posted February 2, 2022 Watched WBA play Posh (my local team) at the Hawthorns a couple of weeks ago, booed off at half time and talk of 'happy clappers' and realists in the pub beforehand - I felt quite at home 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,274 Posted February 2, 2022 Crikey that's a huge job to take on at this stage of the season. They're a bit of a basket case. About 13 managers in the last 10 years including caretakers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 3,779 Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) What a sad state of affairs for managers and coaches in this country when the two highest profile jobs currently available are going to be taken by Steve Bruce and Roy Keane.

wcorkcanary 4,337 Posted February 3, 2022 Roy feckin Keane!! Brilliant. Sunderland have already done that pantomime, yet they are stupid enough to consider doi g it again. Maybe there's been 100% churn in staff since he left and no one is there to remember his previous tenure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m pretty sure their current plight can’t al be as a result of Roy Keane as their manager. Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know the details but it seems a little bit of a stretch if I’m honest. Then again, Ipswich are in a similar position!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They also beat us in the cup and then should have beaten us in the last game of the season. Full of running they were - Callum Styles was excellent in both games and I'm surprised no one better has gone in for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mind if you believe it or not,He ( or he was allowed to) paid well over the odds for an awful lot of average players, often irish, on long lucrative contracts. I know a member of staff from that time and he was flabbergasted at the spending, the contracts and the standard of youth players signed . The effects of profligacy are long lasting.
