sunderland like most clubs have appointed a manager whose press is better than the reality. I know he has won the league cup with leicester and 3 scottish championships. but yet again a club picks someone who is not quite as good as his press. this seems to be the problem with football sack the manager and employ someone who is not quite up to the job. the list of average managers is endless in the 70s and 80s smith and atkinson were always working, today sam allardyce is rarely out of work. gareth southgate thank god for league managership is a pundit. brian robson keegan even shearer. if you own a football club would you employ an over the hill striker, no so why emply a below average manager. give a young man a chance, at least he can keep up intraining.
