Chris Coleman - turkeydinner - 08-04-2018
How long do you give him?
Strange decision to move from a perhaps overachieving role at Wales to the huge but suffering Sunderland job
Whilst Wales I never thought were a one man team (Although he is fantastic), Wales looked organized fluent and full of tenacity and passion
Coleman has come to Sunderland with hardly the best squad inherited and done no better than his predecessor Simon Grayson
Goalie has been a problem all season and Lee Camp has been as bad as Ruiter and Steele
Defence still not sorted out
Bright spots in midfield are young Honeyman and Gooch but cant do everything, Watmore perhaps the clubs standout player out for the season and longer
Unless you score you cant win, again the club have no forwards over 21 years of age
The football has been largely plan less (attacking ,counter attacking, passing)

I didn’t understand why Coleman took the job in the first place. He was on the crest of the available manager wave and jumped into the first hot seat that became available. There were a few PL jobs that would have possibly been within his reach but he opted for the basket case relegated team instead!!

Potted on the day the club is sold

Never rated him tbh ! Wales run itself with bale on fire and as soon as he got sussed that was that ! yet another manager with no plan B ! step up Big mick ????

Divided opinions at Sunderland
For me I thought Wales looked great at times, certainly the one real WC player but Ramsey/Allen/Williams/Ledley etc all did rather superbly in making that team tick
Its a big club, a very big club but a lot of those names are unrealistic for a club in League one, Craig Shakespeare would be my choice from that list and dare i say a name not mentioned Ally McCoist may be interested
This is the replacement list
