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.

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

**Irish Pride** · 25/07/2006, 1:08 PM

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?

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** · 25/07/2006, 3:43 PM

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

**Scram** · 01/08/2006, 12:08 PM

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

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

After being one nil up through a goal from Daryl Murphy.

**gustavo** · 06/08/2006, 4:22 PM

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

**FootballsKing** · 06/08/2006, 11:52 PM

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

**NeilMcD** · 08/08/2006, 10:41 AM

They decided against getting him.

**sligoman** · 12/08/2006, 3:28 PM

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

**tetsujin1979** · 12/08/2006, 6:00 PM

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
