Advocaat gone

[Colossal Squid]

No great surprise but the confirmation has now come that he's left Sunderland.

Who'll be next in at the Stadium of Light? You have to say it looks a proper shit job.

Piss weak squad, no money, already five points off 17th.

Big Sam was favourite even before the announcement that Advocaat has gone. But would even he want that job?

I can't see Dyche wanting to jump ship from a successful stint at Burnley where he has love and money, to that sinking mess.

Has to be an out of work manager, unless they go really obscure like Leeds and Dave Hockaday (LOL)

Usual suspects......

Seemly his wife had a right go at him at the end of last year for not walking away then. She wasn't happy with him taking the job in the first place. My mate is a Sunderland fan and told me that at one sponsors dinner, they had a raging argument in front of a few people. And he was amazed that avocaat stayed on.

Saint Jude ?

"The Apostle Saint Jude Thaddeus is "The Miraculous Saint," the Catholic Patron Saint of "lost causes" and "cases despaired of."When all other avenues are closed, he is the one to call upon, and his help often comes at the last moment."

... or Neil Warnock

Hughton is fifth favourite for the job at 14-1!

Do me a lemon. Surely no amount of money would convince him to swap jobs given how things are working out at present.

Charlie Oatway is at 20-1.

I do love the guy but there's no way he's management material.

33s on Steve Clarke. Now that I'd like to see. Balls up Reading's season. Doubtful though

Rumours that Dyche will get the job. Would be ideal as I really rate him as a manager in this division, apparently wasn't impressed with the financial backing the Burnley board gave him last year.

Surprised he wants two successive relegations on his cv

On a serious note:
Paul Bracewell could fancy a shot?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Hope he offered to share the taxi - and the private plane fare back to Amsterdam - with his fellow Netherlander Shteeve McLaren

It's a shame he didn't stick it out a bit longer, Advocaat is always better at Christmas.

The Warninks signs were there though.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

I can't see Allardyce wanting to take over there but if he did you'd have to assume that they'd take him in a heartbeat.

I could see someone like Rowett getting it though, take a chance on and up and comer who's unlikely to jump ship if they go down.

Charlie Oatway at 20/1!?

Bols!

The wally with the brolly. Obviously.

Paul Jewell will apply for it. He applies for every job going

So why would he move to another job where the Board would give him no financial backing ?

To be fair Sunderland have spent money, or at least plenty more than Burnley did. Just no stability at the club.
