(29 Apr 2018, 2:35 pm)MrFozz Shame...
Coleman had nothing to lose going down this year with the shite he inherited, this new group should have shown faith in Coleman to at least try and help the club recover

(29 Apr 2018, 4:56 pm)Adrian Agree with that Fozz. If Coleman was interested in staying, he would have been a brilliant manager to guide them back to the Championship, and even give it a good go once back there.

So who do people think will be next Sunderland Manager...
Names I have seen bandied about is Mick McCarthy, Roy Keane and Kevin Phillips
My old man wants Peter Reid to return
For me, I say take a risk on someone like Kevin Phillips, no management experience, but the name alone would bring a bit of a feel good factor round the place...
Not sure about Keane, McCarthy has done a good job at Wolves and wasn't bad at Sunderland in the Championship, Peter Reid is the one I sure about, my dad likes him and thinks he will do a job.
What Sunderland need is someone who can go in and stamp there authority on the club, restructure the team from top to bottom, someone young amd hungry, who will take no shit and weed out the clowns who have been around the last few years.
I hear Arsene Wenger is out of work in the next few weeks

(29 Apr 2018, 7:27 pm)Andreos1 Coleman's win percentage ahead of the Sunderland job was hardly spectacular and by all accounts, some of his decisions since taking over, have been strange.

An interesting thread regarding Sunderlands finances over the years.
For some reason, a photo of John Byrne running from the field during a pitch invasion, has Suggs cuddling him.

Gateshead sale collapses and club goes part-time.

Its been coming for a while, The International Stadium is terrible to watch Football and the Average gate has dropped from just under 1200 in 14-15 to 852 last season.

(13 Jun 2018, 8:28 pm)Andreos1 According to reports today, there was mention of administration as a possibility.But aren't the current owners staying on though, if so, I admire them for that, they could have flushed the Club down the Toilet, put them into Administration, seen them liquidated and then they would have re-formed in the Northern League. To be honest, a couple of division drop may not have been a bad thing, as they could re-group, go back to basics and rebuild.
I think the current owners have gone in with their eyes closed or have been sold a dud.
They've never been close to promotion or looked likely to reach it these last few seasons and whatever business plan they had (presumably based on promotion being acheived), looks like it has gone out of the window.
A huge shame for all involved.

While the EFL is now a million miles away, part time is not a bad thing, Dover have done well over the past few years and the Dover manager recently said there would be nothing stopping them stopping them staying PT in EFL2.
It will be tough for Gateshead, they are competing with big spenders Spennymoor and South Shields along with Darlington and Blyth for part time talent, even the Northern League can shell out good money for Semi-Pros.
For me the problem is the Stadium, hardly anybody likes Athletic Stadiums for football, the Prince Consort Road scheme would have been good, but right now, it is teams like Hartlepool and Leyton Orient along with Darlo and York keeping the average up by bringing a decent following.
It is a shame, but it was always going to happen, no owner will spunk money into a club forever with nothing in return, as you say, the ambition was nothing short of a return to the Football League and it backfired unfortunately

(13 Jun 2018, 9:09 pm)Andreos1 https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=eN4rfVHCGCoI wonder about Hebburn, am not sure it is a good move for them to be bankrolled, after Newcastle, Sunderland and South Shields, Gateshead will have the local support mopped up.

Some interesting comments there. Worth a read/listen.
As for other local big-spenders, worth keeping an eye on Hebburn.
I think they have a little bit of the green-eyed-monster emerging after seeing what their neighbours down the river have been up to.
Spending big already this summer and apparently have big plans for the ground.

How will Hebburn attract supporters to make it to the next level, do they have a grounded graded for the next level as well, it wont be easy, but good luck to 'em, these chances nearly always end up with teams booming, then it will suddenly go pop when the chairman gets sick.
I cant see Hebburn ever being able to compete with Shields for fans

Went down to Hebburn in 2013 to watch Darlington, we beat them 7-1 in a dirty game...
Hebburn were down to 9 men within 15 minutes, as they tried to boot Darlo off the park...
Good luck to them, I just hope it does not end in tears for them, but history tells a different story.
