Sunderland have just sacked Martin O'Neill.... Sure he'll be linked to us in the papers within a week!
Martin O'Neill sacked by Sunderland.
Seems like a bad move to me. Not sure who's available to replace him,
Another thread for Jas to start up then.MON is back on the market. Cue extensive speculation.

An international break to think this over, then a shock defeat against runaway champions-elect Man U clearly tipped them over the edge when he failed to get 3 pts.
Football, eh.
Possibly the future manager has only just acceptedA club statement said: "Sunderland AFC has announced that it has parted company with manager Martin O'Neill this evening.
"The club would like to place on record its thanks to Martin and wishes him well for the future.
"An announcement will be made in the coming days regarding a successor."
If they don't have anyone lined up then they'd be crazy.
Weird timing after losing 1-0 to Man Utd... not like they'd have expected a win in that one, surely? Would suspect it's because they wouldn't want the new man to start with such a tough game.
RDM and Mark Hughes are the only ones that spring to mind.
Never go back, like some said about Pearson
And they lost again today.Pulis out!A lot of Stoke fans said that about Pulis too.
Just
Get
Him
In
Now
I'd rather have him in than Pearson at this moment in time, but can't say the comments from Sunderland and Villa fans on another forum about how he's done in recent years fill me with confidence.
