The Managerial Sack Race

[Gibbo]

Just going on the Bender tweet ^ which has 1 out of 2 right so far.

Sunderland have a semi-decent squad. If someone can get it out of them.

Good.

[RichC]

That is a motley cru of footballers!

One or two decent players in there but not enough considering the number of players they brought in this summer, 14 wasn't it?

[Kenneth]

He was a ridiculous appointment in the first place. Glad he's gone, the bloke's a dick.

[Gibbo]

I forgot they signed Dossena

How much did they spend in Summer?

[Sarb]

Was confident of a win on Sunday. Not now

[Mark79]

13 games in charge, was always going to be short lived. Ridiculous appointment.

How much did they spend in Summer?

According to http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/su...a_default.html

Poodle rock.

Perfect!! We play them next away from home. I smell a new manager first game syndrome.. they'll probably play out of their skin.

[Chazza]

Di Matteo and Poyet got to be in with a shout.

Studies has been done on this. Normally there is little effect the first game after a change in managers, the effect is biggest in game number 2.
This will, of course, not happend this time. After all it`s us they`re playing.

Barely a third of a season.

I thought he'd be next to go but I'm shocked that he's gone so soon.

Poyet's a great shout.

Given the money spent this summer they should probably be doing better than they are. A couple of decent players in that squad, if they choose their next manager carefully then they should have enough to stay up.

Di Canio.
