The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[Ralph Jolly]

David Milliband resigns as vice chairman at Sunderland due to appointment of Di Canio

[Wipped]

Miliband has quit tonight as well due to Di Canio's fascist political views.

[Whore Jackie]

It's the nuclear option for the Mackems.

It's either going to go horribly wrong or it could prove to be a very (short-term) clever appointment.

My money's on the latter.

Yep, tend to agree. Going to be interesting seeing how the two new managerial incumbents cope with their respective teams.

[Whore Jackie]

Miliband's off to New York, so he's probably severing all of his NE ties anyway.

[TBM]

They were saying that MON is stuck in the past with his management style - and the appointment of Di Canio is to freshen things up. With 7 games to go Sunderland don't need someone to change tactics but to motivate the players and get them out of this slump.

I was (painfully) considering this when the grandstanding prick was rumoured to come to us. Dear me.

[Royal Ginger]

It must be awful to be a Sunderland fan this week.

[Barry the bird boggler]

Dear god please let Sunderland be relegated.....

[Gordons Cumming]

Surely the Sunderland appointment is an April fool?

Good riddance horrible little commie.

[Dai Brainbocs]

Hilarious, it's one thing bullying Swindon players but he'll have no chance with some of these Premier League egos. He'll fall out with half of them and have zillions of the wage bill going to players training with the youth team until he leaves, which I'll give until Christmas at the latest. Godsend for Miliband, a right-on excuse to sever a tie which has served its purpose for him.

[ankeny]

In fairness,David Milliband is Jewish,he had no choice.

Good riddance horrible little commie.

He said only last week he was able to continue in both roles.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Exactly. I can't stand the bloke but fair play to him for sticking up for what he believes in.

[winchester_royal]

Yep, PDC does like to murder Jews in his time away from football

[Dai Brainbocs]

Fair point, I hadn't taken that into account.

[sandman]

He's not a racist but conveniently brushes over the Fascist issue with "I don't want to discuss politics".

[winchester_royal]

He's not a racist but conveniently brushes over the Fascist issue with "I don't want to discuss politics".

He's not running for Congress, his political views are completely irrelevant to anything to do with football. This whole media circus over him is ridiculous.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Yeah but, Milliband will be running for something politcal soon.

Nice posturing that keeps David in the public eye
