they were 2-0 up when i left the house.. in the first half they played alright (WBA were s*** though) but the lack of a final ball or tame efforts on goal was shocking.. they should have been at least 3 or 4 up at half time..

 

it sounds weird to say this about Keane but i'm actually really looking forward to him taking over there.. :unsure:

 

i like Sunderland as a club, i've been impressed by their (albeit now dwindling) support in some pretty tough times and i really, really like Niall Quinn and would like to see him make a success of this.. i 'm VERY surprised he went for Keane but now he has - and now Keane's agreed - i reckon this could be very, very interesting..

 

it's strange really cos at virtually any other club i'd probably have liked to see Keane do badly and go off his nut.. i'm trying to understand why my admiration for Quinn and what he's trying to do outweighs the fact i want to see Keane implode..

 

anyone else?? cos i know Quinn's liked on here..

 

I hope they do well

I like Quinn and would like him to do well to be honest. But wouldnt shed a tear if Keane lost his first 15 games in charge and got the boot.

Quinn has changed his tune from a few months back.

 

He was asked if he thought Keane would make a good manager and said "I doubt it" now he's hired the f*****.

Keane v Robson, it would be like a cage match betwen Bush and Blair, you wouldn't want either to win but at least you'd have the satisfaction of knowing there's a chance one of them is going to get a good f*cking kicking. :popcorn:

how many ex scum are managers?

 

It is the successful older players from their 90s generation getting manager jobs based on their playing careers. Same thing happened with a lot of ours of the 70s and 80s eg Brucie, McMahon, Barnes, Aldridge, Nicol, Neal, Dalglish, Keegan, Toshack, Lawrenson, etc. By no means were all those obvious choices as managers and some of them proved to be rather s*** at it too.

They've done a few good deals today

 

David Connolly £1.9m - he scored a lot of goals at that level, they were missing a 20 goal a year forward

 

Liam Miller free - decent player, great signing for free

 

Graham Kavanagh £500k - experience player, good leader, still good enough for the Premiership

 

Stanlislav Varga (1.1m combined fee) - Better than whay they have, good in the air, experiences

 

Ross Wallace (1.1m combined fee) - Been playing LB for Celtic but usually a winger, good prospect

 

Dwight Yorke £200k - could go either way really

thought the Kavanagh and Connolly deals were excellent signings - you're right, Kavanagh's still good enough for the Premiership but he'll add an experience and authority to Sunderland that they'll need.. Connolly's goals should help them and take the pressure off Stead who looked a dead duck in the Premiership, his confidence shot to pieces.. haven't seen how he's performed for Sunderland so far this season mind.. Liam Miller should do alright there as well - this is probably more his level than United.. reckon Yorke will do alright to myself..
