That should be interesting.

Very interesting Bush, agree.....don't get the sacking of M O N......the board panics with seven games to go v odd..lets hope it goes against them...

[Droghoop]

Lets hope his ego leads him back to the Championship, I like him, but I'd like him more if he went down and QPR stayed up.

MON was having a 'mare, he seemed to just be saying the same old things week in week out. Not surprised they sacked him. They are hoping that a change will get a couple of wins to see them over the line.

Di Canio did a great job at Swindon, Premier league Sunderland totally different. Should be interesting

Hoping they crash... hard.

Depending on results in 2 games time it could see Newcastle put them in to the bottom 3.
Toon Fans would love that.

Miliband has resigned in protest. Oh no what will Sunderland ever do without him?

I could understand sacking O'Neill if there was someone better available, but Di Canio is a massive gamble.

They have some real tough games coming up, and i can't see Di Canio coming in and suddenly improving them.
They have also lost 2 Key players in Cattermole and Fletcher, which is going to hit them hard.
Whether we go down or stay up, I think they are doomed.

hmm...

Incisive stuff there.
