The manager merry-go-round is really starting to revolve tonight.
Surprised with this one.
Strange one, 3 points off a play off spot having played more games away than at home. Does Mowbray have a knack of rubbing people up the wrong way, he did a good job at Blackburn and they just let him go, no offer of a new contract, I could never work that one out.
I've mentioned this once before I ran across him in a hotel bar in Teesside when he was managing Middlesbrough, we discussed footy for over one hour.
He's a proper chap and extremely knowledgeable about all footy matters.
I cannot imagine Sunderland will find a better custodian for their football club than Mr Mowbray.
I'm glad we have an intelligent chairman in Alan Pace.

Seems like Sunderland's owners want to go down the Pace/ALK route of finding young players, improving them and selling them on at a profit. But whereas Vinni is on board with it, Mowbray wasn't and let it be known. Only one winner in that sort of situation, those who pay the bills.
According to what I read it's been simmering for a while, it was only a matter of when, not if.
