sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 So, when are we having one then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44090 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 How bad are they? I do feel sorry for them like, because this has been the false dawn to end all false dawns, but it's still canny funny. The squad is shit but according to a mackem lad I know Quinn isn't helping by playing 2 or 3 players out of position a la Reid. Jesus, if I had no experience in management, I'd at least try and get the basics like letting people play in their natural positions right.

snakehips 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I was extremely worried for them when Quinn took over and said 'you don't win matches here (sunlun) with tactics, you win with passion.' That just reminded me of our feckless wonder Souness with his 'I don't believe in tactics' rubbish. Quinn then goes on about 'the players have to step up if they are going to stay here' prior to the Southend game. This is just soundbite shit that is designed to curry favour with the fans and indicates he hasn't got a clue how to coach his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said they've had their arms round the players who were underperforming trying to cajole something out of them, but the losing mentality is ingrained. Supposedly he told a canny few of the team they simply weren't good enough and that he was looking to bring in replacements before the window closes. Club in genuine crisis, and he doesn't even have a chairman to turn to for support. I'm taking the piss, but the pressure on him must be immense. I reckon he's on the Just For Men anyway, but if he's not we'll be seeing some grey hairs a la Keegan before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Did you see him on the Championship yesterday? Basically said he'd tried to give the players a chance to prove themselves and they proved they aren't good enough. I almost feel sorry for the mackems.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 I work with a lad who's been going to see the mackems man and boy, and he's reached a point where he just isn't angry anymore, he finds the whole thing comical. Haven't they got Bury in the League Cup this week as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44090 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Aye, tomorrow night. A mackem I know still takes the piss out of Boro/Newcastle - he's taken the position that the "people in glass houses" rule no longer applies to Sunderland as they've had their windows smashed in so many times, there's no point even putting new ones up. Fair enough I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I was watching the NUFC game on Tv and there was a bunch of Makems shouting for wigan and cheering as loud as we were for newcastle - they didnt even care for the sunderland score.
