CRAZY Fan Letters: “Don’t let Jermain make the same mistake you did!”

Greetings, Roker Report

My first idea when the manager’s position opened up was to appoint Jermain Defoe. He deserves a shot because he is a beautiful human being. He was advising everyone around him even when he was playing. He also wants the position. I would gnaw through his hand. Even if he decides to bring in his own group, they will most likely be superior to the present employees.

As a Sunderland supporter who has been here since 1954, this makes me think of the chance we missed in the 1960s to appoint Brian Clough. Don’t let Jermain fall victim to the same error.

Anderson, Brian

Ed’s Note [Chris]: Since no one is really sure where we’re going next, as far as anyone knows, he might be in the running. If Defoe becomes the next Clough, only time will tell, but based on our current luck, it won’t be with Sunderland.

Try it with Kev Phillips. Give him a brief contract with a lot of add-ons at first. He is no more of a gamble than Will Still, as has previously stated, and he has a thorough understanding of the club. I can’t help but think of another center forward from Sunderland who later became Hartlepool’s manager. The late, great Brian Clough had declared at the time that he would take a job in Sunderland and walk barefoot over broken glass. Naturally, the rest is history!

Get a grip and have some courage, Dreyfus! If necessary, bring Phillips in with a knowledgeable helper.

Kindly designate Kevin Phillips. “Not a clonker,” as Gary Lineker famously said of his astute England goal. He is a modest fanatic, he enjoys the fans, he speaks sincerely, and they look up to him. He would be respected by the players. Right now, he is the only contender worth supporting.

Greenwell, Bill

Ed’s Note [Chris]: Stranger things have happened, but just because he’s been the club’s top striker for the past 25 years or so doesn’t mean he’d be a good manager.

As a devoted fan, I believe that we require a seasoned Championship manager who can guide and sign the necessary players, rather than concentrating solely on developing younger players. Boys alone have never led to a club’s promotion; a combination of both is required.

Finn Brian

Ed’s Note [Chris]: I agree that having a blend is a good idea. Though I really enjoy the emphasis on younger players, I can’t help but remember back to Reidy’s team from the 105-point campaign. I imagine that some games were won in the tunnel when the other team saw stars like Bally, Quinn, Rae, and others.

Yesterday, in a conversation with a Watford supporter, I brought up the anger that a lot of our supporters have with our owners’ inability to name a manager. His point of view caught my attention.

He clarified that in their analogous “model,” the head coach position is essentially a minor one that can be eliminated or modified with little to no impact. Watford’s most prosperous periods occurred when they changed head managers every two or three seasons. Although they can recruit players via the Udinese network, the coach position is rather small.

He claimed that because our roles now mostly involve motivating the team and delivering tactics, we are under needless stress. Contracts, welfare, development, etc. are the purview of others.

I acknowledge that Watford is not us, and there is no justification for the confusion and poor communication we are going through. Just a thought-provoking viewpoint.

Martin Jones

Ed’s Note [Chris]: Since everyone is still on vacation, I don’t mind the timing or the fact that there isn’t a scheduled date. It just means that, regrettably, there is a little more pressure to schedule a well-liked appointment right away.

I’ve already recommended Fabregas as coach, but after some thought, I can’t help but think back to a season before when we were in a similar situation. Very nearly the beginning of a season that Big Niall is in charge of. He finally came up with the ultimate ace in the hole after much conjecture and discussion. KEANO was unexpected, but what a sleuth. I believe that KLD needs to make another amazing appointment of such kind in order to salvage this disaster.

What then is accessible? Nothing (except from KEANO himself) at that level. Therefore, who would be the ideal appointment? To be honest, none of the previously suggested options were particularly exciting or well-known. Am I mistaken? We might as well want to be like someone who inspires us. There is just one KEANO! It’s not going to happen. for Stephen Gerrard to perform. Booking a theater will be beneficial.

Jameson, Stephen

Ed’s Note [Chris]: I believe that success at Sunderland requires a specific kind of person, as I mentioned in a previous pod. Just glancing at someone like Roy Keane, Sam Allardyce, Denis Smith, and Peter Reid will give you an idea of their tenacity. Let’s find out if the subsequent selection is capable.

I’m tired of clicking on Sunderland news when there’s nothing new, just like everyone else.

It seems more and more likely that Sartori’s friend Gus Poyet will return shortly.

Anthony Cheal

Ed’s Note [Chris]: As you can see from my earlier remarks, I’m not concerned about the delay at this time. However, if it begins to interfere with pre-season training and affect players’ decisions to stay, I will probably reconsider my mind.

Greetings, Roker Report

I want to express my dissatisfaction with the way we have been handled in writing. First, to give up after the season’s final ten games and forget that we had spent thirty pounds watching the garbage that Mr. Dodds (a kind person, but completely out of his position) had to provide.

It makes sense that a new boss would not look forward to having him on staff. I would advise the club’s upper management to study what happened to Mike Ashley and Fred Sheppard at Newcastle. Enthusiastic supporters drove them leave due to problems with the club’s management. Get a good management and pay the money. The primary man is him. The system will not work if they designate a yes guy.

Roger Stokes

Ed’s Note [Chris]: I’m not sure whether you could call Tony Mowbray and Alex Neil yes men, but they made a mistake with the Beale appointment. We could all need an appointment that, like some of the individuals I’ve previously mentioned, lifts people up and takes the club by the scruff of the neck.
