How long do you think we need to give him before we should be seeing his vision coming into play. I would of thought we would have seen some improvement by now but if anything we are a lot lot worse than last season.

I'll never understand it and never will. The bloke oversaw the most humiliating period of being a Sunderland fan in my lifetime, he won more Premier League games at the Stadium of Light with Wolves than he did with us.
He was given a relegation budget of just £5 million after he won the Championship title. When your big signings are from teams like Gillingham etc for a few 100k then you know you are fucked. McCarthy was never given a chance to succeed as the team of lower division players he managed to fashion into a Championship title winning team were then expected to go on and survive in the Premiership with virtually no spending. How on earth was that ever going to happen.....I liked him, good honest bloke, turned round the debacle created by Wilkinson and got us back into the Prem before being royally fucked by the board.
19 points is f***ing inept.
15 points is simply taking the piss.
Totally agree and the board should have been strung up for giving Mick a budget that largely made that points total inevitable.

There are no reasonable options now. We've passed point of no return and we are now in it until end of season with Poyet.
The only person available that's in the mould of last 10 games kick up the arse improvement is Keane. And it's highly debatable if that is even workable with Short and just as debatable if he could actually make a difference.
The rest are summer options and a fair percentage of them are dream on category.
And for those calling for BSA, it just ain't gonna happen. We have a DoF system and he's not going to come to that I wish people would understand the plainly obvious.
As it stands I dont think there is an obvious candidate for next manager, now or in summer.

Sadly when you are given a budget to buy donkeys its unlikely you will be buying any thoroughbreds

It is utterly depressing that a club that has been in the top flight for nearly a decade now, has fantastic training facilities, a cracking stadium and averages nearly 44k a week despite watching utter turd is not seen as a massive opportunity for managers......Seriously, people talk about wanting a manager who has won things, are you for real? Give me the name of one manager who has won trophies in recent times that would come to Sunderland? Its a poisoned chalice and a graveyard for managers, a place where not a single one ever leaves with their reputation enhanced......For me everything is in place for somebody to create themselves a fantastic role and yet nobody of any real note would touch the job with a barge pole, instead we have to scrape around for untried and untested young managers or people like Bruce who just move from one mid table to relegation struggler after another.

I have a feeling this is what will happen, with Allardyce coming here.

Bollocks - he had plenty of but bought 17 knackers instead of 3 or 4 quality, result - shoite team, big wage bill.

I'm actually saddened that so many of our fans seem reluctant to criticise and are willing to accept the mediocrity served up.
4 wins in the league all season.

One of the single worst ops ive ever seen on here. fuck aiming high, fuck going for a manager that would genuinely excite and inspire the fans.
Let's go for a repeated failure at premiership level. If we cross our fingers it might work out.
For fucks sake man. I despair.

Another bloke who's achieved fuck all. Lets get him in. It might work out if we wish hard enough.

There's little point criticising when it's not clear where the blame lies. No doubt we'll be here yet again 12-18 months after Poyet goes with the same old faces in the team and the same old posters blaming the manager 100%.

No idea
Sad but true.
I'm far from confident that we'll be in the PL at the end of Poyet's tenure

We need to stick with Poyet until the end of the season now I think. The right option won't be available quickly and who knows whether we'll have an instant reaction. Sack him 5 minutes after the final whistle goes on the last day of the season and spend a few weeks interviewing all of the viable options. I wouldn't be adverse to us giving another young coach a chance though. Paul Clement will be fine with me.

I don't think any one is blaming him totally. I certainly am not. I know the players don't always put a shift in.
But it's Poyets job to buck their ideas up. Unfortunately modern footballers don't seem to give two shits. That's the way it is now with the amount of money in the game.
