TopCat 4,511 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Big Sam has taken over at the Stadium Of Light.Sensible move from the club as they battle relegation , given his previous record elsewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cumnockbear 2,446 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Won't go down well with the Newcastle fans, they'll both be in the championship together next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,435 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Probably the manager that gives them the best chance of survival but I think it will be a step too far for them this year.Really bad squad of players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolongawake 1,205 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Got to respect Advocaat for stepping down so early on in the season, gives them time to turn things around. Also let's Sam see what he needs to add before the transfer window opens back up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KED 6 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 He's the best chance they have of staying up.Puts more pressure on Newcastle I think.In the past haven't minded Newcastle but given events over last few years I want them relegated, also McLaren is a prize throbber. He's the perfect example of how bad managers keep getting jobs regardless of previous results and performances.Mon the Mackems!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthranger 3,872 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Their squad isn't half as bad as some people make out. Their summer signings were actually quite decent. I think they'll stay up now, big sam will make them difficult to beat and strong at home, and that's basically what they need Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the perfect example of how bad managers keep getting jobs regardless of previous results and performances.Mon the Mackems!!I used to feel sorry for Newcastle fans and after all the crap we put up with from Ashley and his cockney mafia I probably still should but I'm friends with a few Newcastle fans on Facebook and they are never happy.For years it's been Hughton out, Pardew out, Carver out and they are already starting with the McLaren out talk.They just seem to have unrealistic aims and ideas well above their station so its hard to feel sympathy for them when they hound every manager out because they feel they should be a top four or a top six club.

BlearyEyedBear 4,148 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 He's definitely got his work cut out for him. Wee Dick achieved a minor miracle keeping that squad up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Can't believe people still question Big Sam. Generally speaking, he's had a very consistently successful career as a manager. He's a no brainer appointment for a club like Sunderland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
