Re: Mowbray sacked now
They could have easily sold him against Mowbray's wishes. His price must have gone up anyway.
Re: Mowbray sacked now
Missed that. Apparently (according to the Athletic) it isn't much of a surprise locally.

Re: Mowbray sacked now
Read on Sunderland message boards after the Newcastle tie in FA Cup to see their reaction and many wanted Mowbray gone.
Re: Mowbray sacked now
Bit of a shocker this one.

Re: Mowbray sacked now
Once more a demonstration that many fans think they are entitled to be top of the league, and have very short memories regarding their own clubs 20 year + trajectory… one that Mowbray had checked and started to reverse. Some clubs are beyond help, their own over inflated self importance is their major downfall.

Re: Mowbray sacked now
Lot of time for Mowbray, always comes across well. Will be back in work soon I’d imagine. I’d say Sunderland are running about par but clearly have loftier ambitions. Sometimes can come back to bite you.
Fans aren’t impressed at all. Looks like their young owner is throwing his weight around a bit.

Re: Mowbray sacked now
Have to agree with that Tony. I have had a couple of Sunderland supporting mates on the phone tonight saying how shocked they are and they are no happy with their young chairman/owner at all.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:05 pmAccording to my mate who’s a massive Sunlan fan, it’s a hell of a shock. He said no one saw it coming.

Re: Mowbray sacked now
In addition Vera and her boys are getting vexed about the FA Cup tie as Newcastle will be entitled to 15% of the ticket allocation, that’s about 7000 Geordies on the loose in the County of Durham. Expect a Sunday 11.00 a.m. ko time and the cops to reduce the allocation considerably on “ health & safety” grounds.

Re: Mowbray sacked now
Bizarre decision. It feels like a few of these sackings are happening in quick succession so as to get the man they want in before another gets them. I wonder if Swansea or Sunderland want Heckingbottom or Wilder.

Re: Mowbray sacked now
Noooo, I can't believe that; surely all that Geordie/Mackem Northumberland/Durham rivalry is a thing of the past now that they're both hand-in-hand within the Metropolitan County of Tyne & Wear.ClaretLoup wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:42 pm...about 7000 Geordies on the loose in the County of Durham.

Re: Mowbray sacked now
Hope they go for Jon Dull Tomasson at Bastards doing an outstanding job with no money

The STID documentary, which was pretty good, did give the impression of this obsession with "we're a big club". One bloke talked about "our ground", another about "how many travel". Fair enough. But Sunderland's history is not magnificent for a club with such a large catchment area.
And, at the end of the day, you can play in front of 75,000 every week and be an unpolished excrement. And you can be a well-managed team put together for a relatively small amount of money and perform on the pitch.

Unlucky. Always does a sound job. That may ve the issue. He just gets on with it, unruffled.
