Ira Gaines Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 That's game over for Swansea, who have been utterly useless in this half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 He's a solid favourite. 1/10 with Sky Bet. Next favourite is 7/1. He's a MASSIVE, step-up from the likes of Di Canio and Poyet, but this could easily turn into another Felix Magath situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Talksport were giving it the 'Yeh, Advocaat's maybe managed around the world...but he's never managed in the Barclay's Premier League before.' shite.

The_BullyWee Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Excellent yet again from Joe Allan and Sakho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Jammy, jammy b*****ds. Great 3 points. Held on so comfortably after the goal. A chance to go 4th on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I've absolutely slated Sakho in the past but he has resembled a professional footballer the last couple of games I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Great 3 points. Held on so comfortably after the goal. A chance to go 4th on Sunday. They were well worth the win in the end so fair play. 4pts separating 2nd-5th now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This is what 7 goals in 2 seasons buys you in Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 They were well worth the win in the end so fair play. 4pts separating 2nd-5th now. Pretty amazing to think Liverpool were 17 points behind Man City at one point. Going to be very interesting especially with so many big games still to come.

The Grass Is Greener. Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 He has done amazingly well for himself since leaving Hibs, one of my favourite ever players and hes also a cup winner with us. Happy for the big guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Talksport were giving it the 'Yeh, Advocaat's maybe managed around the world...but he's never managed in the Barclay's Premier League before.' shite. There are times you can only laugh. That argument is of course b*llocks, but Advocaat isn't exactly young these days, and it's been a long long time since he's taken over a team that weren't already pretty good.

RandomGuy. Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Advocaat takes charge at Sunderland. Can see this ending similar to Magath at Fulham tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Advocaat takes charge at Sunderland. Can see this ending similar to Magath at Fulham tbh Either that or he keeps them up by one point or goal difference. This buys him next season where he leaves with Sunderland Firmly stuck in a relegation battle, and the cycle continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 If I was a Sunderland fan I'd certainly be more impressed by getting someone with Advocaat's record, rather than a relegation expert like Warnock or Redknapp or someone who got sacked before he could get his team relegated like Lambert. People put too much store by the "Premier League experience" mantra. Unless you're at the top end of the table, the only manger you're going to get with PL experience is one who has already failed at least once. It's hardly like Advocaat won't be able to get up-to-date with the players at his disposal fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Advocaat is probably no worse than Van Gaal who has settled nicely into English Football with Man Utd. Launching it down the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Sunderland have Fletcher and Wickham. I don't think launching it down the park would be the worst gameplan they could come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyAffro Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Advocaat is a quality coach will do well and play good football. Sunderland will stay up now no bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 So will it be the three promoted teams who get relegated? Has this ever happened in the EPL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrTroopMajor Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I think of Sunderland as a bit like Hibs. Seem to be percieved as a far bigger club than they actually are, and have done virtually nothing for their entire existance. Both seem very difficult clubs to manage. It's probably pretty hard to attract players to the North-East, and even if you can any good player is going to pick Newcastle over Sunderland, so they're kind of left with the dregs like Lee Cattermole. They'll get someone in who'll probably keep them up, have a poor season next year and in a years time they'll be looking for another manager. Sunderland: In the top 8 most successful clubs in England, won more titles than the likes of Chelsea and Man City, pulled off the biggest FA Cup Final shock of all time, average well over 40,000 crowds. Hibs: Four time Scottish Champions, Two Scottish Cups, 3 League Cups and played in Europe. Their perception as big clubs is deserved, they just massively underachieve on a regular basis these days. Good job for Advocaat, think they'll stay up. They need rid of folk like Brown and O'Shea though, they are stealing a wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
