O'Neill sacked

[Hansern]

Yeah, I agree and if he gets it he will probably resign due to some mental shit anyway after a year or thereabouts.

 

[Squiggles]

Just prior to leaving Swindon, Di Canio was signing players with his own money.

He also 'broke in' to the club after he left and took a load of photos off the wall.

 

[Markeh]

Just seen it. Wow... they could end up with no points in that stretch, and it wouldn't surprise me:

Chelsea v Sunderland
Newcastle v Sunderland
Sunderland v Everton
Aston Villa v Sunderland
Sunderland v Stoke City
Sunderland v Southampton
Tottenham v Sunderland

Most likely 3 to 6 points I suppose.

Yea there's at least 4/5 of those I'd expect anyone to struggle with.

On a different note didn't that dick Adrian Durham from Talksport say he thought QPR would finish higher than Tottenham under AVB, good prediction that was...

 

[Hansern]

Di Canio is confirmed. 2,5 year contract. Wow

 

[The Bandit]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

David Milliband has resigned as vice chairman of Sunderland . Could be something to do with this

David Miliband leaves Sunderland board in wake of Di Canio hire: "in light of his past political statements I think it right to step down”

 

[The Bandit]

Would have thought his move to the states was behind that

 

[The Bandit]

I stand corrected

...and the cherry-picking for Sunderland's Championship-bound assets commences....I'd have Mignolet. One of the top 3 'keepers in the league in my opinion and playing behind anyone other than Bramble next season, he'll think he's invincible.

Compare to the Villa:

Stoke(A)​

Fulham (H)​

Man Utd(A)​

Sunderland (H)​

Norwich(A)​

Chelsea (H)​

Wigan(A)​

[hamstrung_pigeon]

I think Villa's look a bit more manageable; Wigan and Norwich present chances for wins, and Fulham can be brilliant or shit depending on the week. That game between Villa and Sunderland will be huge.

O'Neill is favourite for the Leeds job apparently.

Mignolet's a decent shout. From what I've seen I'd certainly prefer him to Begovic, whom others have talked up on here before now.
