OSG Prem: Looks Like Poyet To Sunderland

Let's face facts...

Paolo DiCanio left his old club in nothing short of dumpster fire condition...

So, the Black Cats have turned to former Brighton manager Gus Poyet to turn things around on a two year deal...

"It's a huge challenge but one I am excited about and I am grateful for the opportunity to manage in the Premier League," Poyet said, via Sunderland's official Twitter feed.

"I look forward to proving my ability to the fans. I want them to believe because we need to stick together."

Interim manager Kevin Ball, who lobbied hard for the gig, has no idea about his future with the club:

"No idea at the moment. I don't know whether they are going to give me a ring, speak to me or anything like that.
"But I am sure in the next couple of days, they will do something."


This was how Poyet was sacked from his time in Brighton... on live TV...

Just as odd how DiCanio got sacked this season...

OSG Prem: di Canio Sacked, World Not Shocked...

((HT: BBC Sport))

The HQ had figured out that Sunderland manager was on the clock after the shocking 3-0 loss to West Brom over the weekend, and especially, after Paolo di Canio's reaction to the Black Cats fans he was motioning to when the game was over.

Having some kind of intellectual conversation with hand signals...

Here's your standard panel reaction with Alan Shearer, Kevin Kilbane and Michael Owen ...


Odds makers (or Book Makers) have former Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo and former Brighton manager Gus Poyet as the favorites to take over the post...

Why anyone would take the gig, currently, is anyone's guess...

OSG Prem: di Canio Is Probably On The Clock...

((HT: BBC Sport))

The HQ is under the impression that Sunderland manager Paolo di Canio is on the clock...

After one of those bouts of irony in today's match with West Brom, Sunderland put up a 3-0 clunker that included a goal from former Sunderland striker Stephane Sessegnon.

They're glowingly at the bottom of the table without any real challengers at present, and di Canio seems to be flaming out with a great deal of speed.

Evidence from his display in front of fans after the loss...


Actually, let the HQ rephrase...

di Canio SHOULD be done, but who would want to take over the flaming pile of crap he's dealing with at present if he does get sacked...???

Not even us... unless we had a lot of time to work things out...
