    Quinn Quits

    Dunno if it'sbeen mentioned here but apparently Niall Quinn
    is ready to pack in the managers job at Sunderland and
    is close to getting a world class manager.

    Niall Quinn says he is close to bringing a "world-class" manager to Sunderland.

    Quinn, who named himself as Black Cats boss just a month ago, is ready to step
    down, revealing that he could have a new name in place by Monday, when
    Sunderland play West Brom.

    Did he do himself up a resignation letter, as part of protocol and what not.

    Maybe tried to pursuade himself to stay and give it a couple more weeks?

    Not really a surprise - think this was always the plan? But losing 2-0 to Bury, bottom of the Third Division, certainly didn't help!

    The today fm sketch where he's giving himself a talking too and then ends up announcing his own substitution is gas!
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    That rumour is gaining a lot of momentum tonight. I would like to see Brian Kerr get a run. Running an international team is a lot different to running a club team. Could be interesting.

    Somebody from abroad is my guess.Will the club be releasing a statement thanking him for his service
    and wishing him the best of luck in his future career?

    Why has noone mentioned Roderick Collins?
    TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY

    The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!

    All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

    I'm suprised that he didn't give himself a vote of confidence - didn't think he was the bashful type.
