Niall Quinn Sunderland Manager

[dr_peepee]

WTF??

Sunderland chairman-elect Niall Quinn has been confirmed as the new Black Cats manager after receiving the backing of the consortium he heads.

Smacks of desperation, failed to land a couple of decent names so takes it on himself. It's a gamble, I hope it doesn't blow up in his face.

[PaulB]

Will be a disaster, he'll end up sacking himself..

[Irish Pride]

Well he wont be in danger of the sack anyway...........He cant blame the chairman if there is no money for players.......ha

Isn't it just a stop gap solution until they get someone else? Isn't there enough experienced heads already employed to take care of the different tasks?

[De Town]

He's just putting himself in more trouble IMO. Stupid move.

I would love to know how the interview between chairman and future manager went for the Sunderland job.

Chairman. Hi Niall you are a great guy and I think you have the right attributes to be a great manger


Interviewee: No Niall you are a great chairman and thanks for giving me the job to here. How are your kids by the way and say hello to your lovely wife.

I realised I had put it in the wrong thread. Sorry about that.

[drinkfeckarse]

No need to apologise, was only teasing....

[Scram]

He's just making money for his mates on Betfair!

Not a great start for Quinn, lost 2-1 to Coventry today.

Not a great start for Quinn, lost 2-1 to Coventry today.
After being one nil up through a goal from Daryl Murphy.

[gustavo]

Mark Gallagher in the ireland on sunday reckons Murphy is in with a good shout of getting in the next squad

[FootballsKing]

just wait till they get Anthony Stokes from Arsenal and things will be all gravy. He's a massivly promising talent

[NeilMcD]

They decided against getting him.

[sligoman]

Murphy scored again today. In the first minute against Plymouth Argyle. Sunderland losing 2-1 at the moment though.

[tetsujin1979]

Eliott equalised to make it 2-2 but Sunderland went on to lose 3-2 #. The reporter on sky sports said they were booed off at half time and were very poor up until the second goal

[RonnieB]

The winning goal against them was awful. Some of the worst defending you will ever see.
