  Good shout. He could probably do without the hassle though eh?

  Looks like Gus Poyet will be announced as the new Sunderland manager within the next 24 hours.
  
  Good appointment?

  Not sure about Poyet, the Sunderland players clearly are very picky about who manages them and the consensus from Brighton was that Poyet was a bit of prick to work under

  I think Poyet is gonna be one of those that you can't predict really. I mean I doubt anyone thought that Di matteo would be able to manage well at Chelsea but proved us wrong. I though Di canio would take to sunderland well. The young foreign coaches are just unpredictable.

  It did seem that way. Southampton came up through League One and the Championship alongside Brighton and he managed to upset Adkins and the fans a few times along the way.
  
  And yeah, unpredictable, but far less so than Di Canio.

  Interesting to see they've only given him a 2 year deal, hardly a ringing endorsement is it?
  
  Mind you, they're probably still paying off Roy Keane, Martin O'Neill and of course Di Canio... Not cheap this chopping and changing your manager lark.

  I don't think they can take the risk of giving him more than 2 years from a compensation point of view plus I think they want to make him prove himself. Risky appointment but what else could they do

  Fair shout, I was just being a dick mostly... :)
  
  It'll be interesting to see how much extra he can get out of that squad. Swansea and Newcastle up next, easier than the last 2 games. Will there be the usual upturn in fortunes bought on by a new manager?

  i think he seemed to do all right at brighton, but it's hard to tell with untested managers how they will do and hes going to a poor side. it's a good job to take because if they stay up he looks quality and if they don't it's what was expected really.
