    It’s a club crying out for an Evo type Manager, one who can kick some arse.

    Brin - if the key people you managed knew they didn't have to work another day in their life and would still be comfortable do you think kicking their arse would make them perform any better?

    With some of them yes.
    People are different and there's a multitude of different ways of MANAGING people.
    Cast your mind back to Greg Halford. Probably the highest paid player at the club but was clearly demotivated. Neil came in and sorted it instantly. He even told us how he'd done it. A masterclass in man management
    Grayson was paid to do this and he didn't perform.

    Or one who can spread his arse contents all over the bog in the team bus, whilst asking a senior player to clean it up. Apparently.

    They shouldn't have taken him in first place.

    Bury also sacked Clarke after eight months in charge (that's what happens when you stop taking our players )

    Non league, Richard Money resigns from Solihull moors after 26 days in charge

    Football is living in a panic world

    No I don't think SE would do anything with them tbh

    On reflection I based my comment on having read a piece on the bbc football site.

    A retired player had stated that far too many at Sunderland just weren’t pulling their weight and not putting a shift in. Hence my thoughts turning to a no nonsense manager.

    In some cases no but you could get the attention of others who may realise they weren’t delivering and would do something about it.

    Think Evans has had his day now. The rules with the alterations to the transfer window and loan signings have made his revolving door policy getting players in and out ineffective
