aren't really helping, are they?

Changed managers a couple of times in the past 18 months or so, yet still not looking anything like top 2 material. Another 'big' club who should walk this league, eh?

Evans must be thinking, "What's the point in changing manager? No guarantees it will be any better under the new guy, might as well just stick with Lambert and save myself the hassle of making another decision that could go wrong."

No, we're stuck with Lambert until next Jan at least, hoping that the 2-year point of the contract is when it can be terminated cheaply....as we sit 19th in league 1

Someone gave me the analogy that turning Sunderland round is like trying to turn round an oil tanker, whereas ITFC are just a rubber dinghy that has just drifted off course...

Lee Johnson's always been a fraud, so he was never the answer. Paul Cook and Danny Cowley aren't frauds though and they'd be able to sort us out, as they would've been able to sort Sunderland out either of them been appointed there.

It's actually borderline incredible to think that if we win our game in hand, we'd go above them.

If you put all teams above us on 27 games and all winning our games (not likely given teams will play each other) then if we win both games we'll still be in 8th.

(And I can't see us winning two in a row)

Sad isn't it?

Hardly an example to follow in appointments though, firstly they had Jack Ross (who was Marcus Evans main choice for here after Mick, which says it all) who managed teams in Scotland, one of the weakest league structures in Europe.

Then they had Phil Parkinson who's record includes walking out on Colchester, failing miserably at Hull, relegating Charlton to the third division, managing Bradford in the fourth division and the shtshow that is Bolton....

... and now they have Johnson who comparatively is a good appointment but still not a great track record.
