John O'Shea and Paul Lambert are also in the running apparently.

Lambert would probably be pretty decent, but O'Shea? That has to be a joke, or his mum's putting money on him.
 
McCoist linked with Sunderland.


No, seriously. As manager.
Is he not still employed to look after the vegetable patch at Ibrox?

Sunderland gig looks like a bit of a poisoned chalice - very little money will be available to spend on a squad which is very poor, even by Championship standards. What manager in their right mind would take on that task? The answer of course, is a manager with no reputation to lose, i.e. a new manager or Ally McCoist.

I knew things were bad for Sunderland, but this bad? Taken from the Beeb.
  • The last home win was a 1-0 victory over Watford in the Premier League on 17 December 2016 - nearly 11 months ago
  • No team in the history of the Football League has gone 20 games without winning at home. Sunderland have gone 19
  • When they briefly led Bolton 2-1 in Grayson's final match in charge, it was the first time they had been ahead at home in 2017
  • Their current tally of 10 points from 15 Championship games is the worst return for a side just relegated from the Premier League

Darron Gibson had it spot on about Sunderland. I don't know why he was punished for his honesty.

When he was pissed off his nut after Celtic beat them 5-0? He might have been right about those players not caring, but having checked, 2 of the 3 he slagged off are away on loan, and the other one was on the bench when they drew against Bolton. He may well be right about some of those players not really caring, but the fact is, they have a squad littered with very mediocre players.

I put a couple of small bets on this season, two teams both to finish top 3 in their respective leagues.

Sunderland and Everton :blush:

Anyone want to pay me not to bet on your team next season? :whistle:

I put a big wad on Man City to win the league last season.It's been a good lesson as I've stopped betting.
