From Despair To Where? But, if you take into account the Secret Footballer theory, fail to get them up this season and he gets the sack with the addendum that "He couldn't even get Sunderland out of L1 with all their resources". But yeah, he gets a nice payoff because Sunderland pay over the odds because no-one really wants to go there.

Get them up and it's "They shouldn't have been there anyway with all their resources" and suddenly they're being expected to challenge at the top end of the Championship next season. It's a thoroughly toxic job IMO.

Nah, don't think multiple promotions from L1 will be outweighed by one Sunderland failure. Especially if they're still top 10 anyway.

Don't think Sunderland will expect to get another promotion on the bounce if they get the first one. Certainly expect minimum of mid-table and then push on after that, but not quite that unrealistic.

No, but it would cement his reputation as a L1 manager who is successful on a budget but struggles with backing.

And you'd be surprised at how unrealistic Sunderland fans are.

Gary Rowett installed as Millwall manager and took charge of their 2-2 last night.

Sol Campbell named as Southend boss.

For all his weirdness and strange views it is hard to dispute he did a fantastic job at Macclesfield. Southend are in deep, deep trouble and probably already have an eye on their League 2 campaign next season. Perfect job for Sol.

if Bolton had started on 0 points they would be ahead of Southend in the table. That is how f*cking sh*t Southend are. Fair play to Sol I guess.

Rowett's appointment shows how far a managers star can rise and fall quickly

Campbell in the stands as Southend suffer their biggest ever home defeat, 7-1 to Doncaster, down to ten men after six minutes, and nine men with half an hour to go.

First game for the new boss is Ipswich. :lol:

No he didn't take charge, he was in the stand at Millwall last night.

He is - and back at his level in my view - he never really scored enough in the Championship. He's 32 now, fcuking hell. He got 43 for 81 games at Swindon in League One in around 2008/9, and has a respectable 43 in 140 for Southend.

Weirdly Liam Ridgewell is there too - I've always thought him a better player than that.

Think he's 35 now and "disappeared" off to Portland 5 years ago where he's had a fairly disappointing time, so no real surprise no-one higher up came in for him after a fairly average spell at Hull at the end of last season.

Fcuk sake!
I remember him being England under-21s, which I thought was a few years back. Wiki tells me it was 2004. :shock:

KentRoyal Stam resigns from feyenoord


Took Stam's resignation to answer a question I'd posed myself a week ago as to how on earth Feyenoord had ended up signing Liam Kelly.

Defeat for Stoke v West Brom on Monday should be the end for Nathan Jones there. Current favourties to take over are Tony Pulis and a certain Mr J.Gomes.

Hasn't the demise of Nathan Jones been predicted for about 8 weeks now? Keep saying it and we will be right eventually.

It was inevitable, then he won a couple of games out of nowhere. Normal service resumed now

Looks like he has already gone just awaiting official confirmation.
