The Sunderland owner said what would you say to £1 Million compensation? Steve said "Well it's a huge sum but I can afford it " No no says the owner "We pay you £1M to take him back!"

Taz Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Gary found his ceiling with us, and has never managed any higher. Has spent most of his time in the lower leagues. Absolutely laughable suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor MacGregor did say that City may wait until the summer to appoint a permanent manager. He could be seen by Lansdown as a very safe pair of hands. I suspect it’s only a rumour but nothing surprises me in football nowadays. Let me guess, someone with 200 followers on Twitter said it was true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 One reason I don't believe this (aside from the fact it's clearly nonsense) is lack of crowds. If we had crowds, I could see this having a tiny chance of being true - he absolutely could galvanise the atmosphere at the ground if we were in a big relegation fight. Games behind closed doors wouldn't have that obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's not to love about that idea for a few months. You clearly aren't very old. Got us out of L1, but then crap football, dreadful signings, zero youth policy, scouting a joke...

Second most successful since WW2? I know you are referring to 6th place in 2008 but the finishing place in a league does not qualify GJ as second best since war. AD, Terry Cooper, Joe Jordan, Steve Cotterill. Could also include Beasley and Ford. Quality football that entertained the fans even the if only one got us to the Top League. PS. Some of you young ones should have been around in 1982-83. Lousy league (4) but those of us who stuck with City, saw effort and guts by every member of the squad.

Two seasons of success. Then a decline that it took us years to recover from. Cooper for one had a much greater legacy and value to the club.

I’ll again remind you - The Second most successful manager we’ve had post war I guess you didn’t bother celebrating the promotion or going to Wembley ? Maybe you could answer the questions I posed instead of deflecting And add - Name me a manager who’s left and we didn’t need a rebuild ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless 1-1 draws, little excitement, long balls up to Adebola and the amount of absolute joke strikers he signed. He did a good job for first 3 years then all the rubbish he had recruited on long contracts wouldn't leave until around 2012/2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
