Well I kind of knew what you suggest, my point was really are they necessary, further more the back room staff from assistant managers, first team coaches, second string manager/ coach, goalkeeping coach, fitness coach , dietician, physiotherapist etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. the list is never ending and most of them don't really achieve anything do they?
Biggest laugh I get is when there's a substitution and you see some muppet showing the player a notepad or a tablet with God knows what on " right lad this is a pitch, at that end there's a goal" he flips to next page, " this is a ball, try and put it in that white rectangular thing at that end * stresses which end*, or if he's a defender he'll probably give some full blown diatribe on how to stop the opposition from scoring.
Point is should they not know whatever it is they're telling them already?

Blame Andy Gray and Richard Keys.

Its a simple fecking game yet those perverts suddently tried to make it so intricate, making them seem like fecking tactical gurus just for stating the obvious post match.

The result 10 years on is every fecker thinks theyre a master tactician, particularly on here. Again, simple fecking game, get the fucker in the onion bag, Id love to have seen Cloughy tear some of these `experts` to shreds.

Think it takes the load off too though. Managers have a shitload of stuff to do - surely having an assistant to...assist...(can't think of a better word) is logical?

Any club employing this egotist deserves all it gets.

He courts controversy and revels in the spotlight whether it's good or bad publicity. He can't help himself.

Cancerous Çunt IMHO

We deserved all we got being taken from the depths of the Championship to Premier League safety.
 
Don't get the anti Roy Keanne stuff. He did a fantastic job here, picking us up from a depressing low and within a season creating a title winning side. He kept the side up and gave us some magical moments along the way.
Yes it ended in acrimony but thats what happens to most managers. It was his first attempt at management and he got a lot of things spot on.

He's never disrespected our fans / club, in fact he speaks very highly of both in his recent book.

For me Keanne 'got' Sunderland - he saw the potential of the club and tried his best to give us success. He's not the first and won't be the last to fall short in that aim, but I'll always remember his days in charge as good times.

Usually some manager who has come up and got lucky, found out within 2 seasons and disappears into the wilderness
Paul Jewell, Aidy Boothroyd two immediate candidates
