yes he is... ...in honor of his sacking. BTW, if I were the monkey's heed, I would not sell my shares in the club.
i would keep my shares and burn em if i was him....he has about 7 mil worth dont he...something like that.....sunderland in deep ************ now...
Trust an American to put Reyna in front… I think Reid put all his eggs in Super Kev’s basket and they fell through the cracks. So who’s his replacement…???
They should have either let him go in the summer or not given him £15m and then not let him see how the new signings pan out. He was always going to be to strong headed to walk - it had to be a move from the club if he was to leave. He is one of the few totally honest managers in football, and you could always guarantee a good laugh in Yarm if you bumped into him.
Three favourites: O'Leary (won nothing despite spending a fortune) Robson (see above) Graham (successful but a similar style of football to Reid) Outsiders: Peter Taylor Alan Shearer (you can get odds of 66-1 on him - they should be much bigger but I think the bookies must know something)
You're Boro_lad, but I hope the monkey's heed doesn't sell them because those shares actually are worth something....and FWIW, he really doesn't need to ever work again. I might be wrong, but should he choose to manage again, he would have to forfeit his shares.
Its not a surprise. You go through 2001-02 with a 3-5-2 build up offense that doesnt work and you replace it for the new season with a 3-5-2 build up offense that doesnt work. Reid is a good footballing mind but he lost the teams attention and he wasnt getting it back.
Never heard of it either..... I’ll take a pint of Bally Guinness…!!! And that was a great likeness of Reyna.
In these circumstances the word "sacking" is rather harsh. Reid had done a great job over the years to establish Sunderland as a Premiership team. He's just run out of ideas so the board want to someone else to come in. If he was 10 years older they might have "moved him upstairs".
Ha! Good One! No way Shearer would take the position. Some Geordie would lose it and there’d be an assassination attempt at the next northeast derby....
