I still think what we will have offered will have been as good as anything outside the entrenched top 6 mind..........
Ellis did want him and he will be very disappointed by the decision..
So that's the conspiracy theorists f***ed

Good post.
The very fact that Dick only came for the short term and the club got under his skin to the extent that he even considered staying on (and not for the money) speaks volumes.
Hopefully his respected position in world football (and the money) will send out a message to other potential managers of what Sunderland are about.
It's a great opportunity to move the club forward and I just hope upon hope that the club make the most of it.
As a footnote, I'd also like to hope that Dick retains some ties with the club, spreads the word so to speak, is there to help with a bit of 'scouting' from his obvious worldwide network if asked, and just provide some advice, consultation and wisdom if needed.
Exactly, keep him on board in some capacity, let him spread the word.
Nothing wrong with our club, we could be f***ing huge again, just needs the right people to pull the strings.

Probably Laudrup, although I suspect Allardyce would do a better job.

We have Dick Advocaat and Tierry Henry waxing lyrically about the club and its fans at the moment yet we have a dozen so called fans on here who like nothing better than to slag the club off at every opportunity. I'm not talking about someone who has a go at certain decisions - I've done it myself as you know - but that everything the club does or tries is shit.

Draper will be fuming.
See the other thread. You were taking the piss out of people mentioning his wife.

That's because there's far more of one than the other. Di Canio was pilloried for public criticism of the players and Poyet didn't dare say anything as he'd seen what happened to his predecessor. Meanwhile the only consistency the players showed was having a month off after a good performance and doing what they liked off the pitch without fear of consequences. How exactly does a professional organisation get to a point where an allegedly misbehaving player's first sanction is a dawn raid by the police?
They behaved for Advocaat because they knew they wouldn't win v him and Short. Much like the first few months under Poyet til they got comfortable.

I don't believe that will be too much of a problem.
As much as I don't want the club to rush into a hasty decision, they still need to act fairly swiftly and decisively.
The players have a few weeks off before they return to training, and as regards the buying and selling, hopefully Congerton will be already looking at potential targets following his discussions with Advocaat. Players and managers will be on holiday at this point and it's often said that the market doesn't really start moving till they get back, so we will have a little bit of breathing space.

The vast majority of fans will be marra. In terms of achievement he's the most successful manager we've had in my time.

Interesting question - just how many times do you have to be proven right before you stop being called cynical/bedwetter/doom and gloom etc.
More and more people are thinking this way because it's more and more obvious that there's a grain of truth to it.

I don't know mate, I remember when Di Canio was getting the boot and we said it then. Still get laughed at on here but some people just can't be told/telt.
Aye but if they perform for a couple games a season will you then?
