I dunno, I think he knew how to play his game here and he may have a different one for a bigger team.

I'm not sure he knows how to do that. Compromise seems to be missing from his Italian / English Dictionary. His management style seems to be distinctly "my way or the highway", which is not so bad when you take over a team of assembled mainly through free transfers and sub £100k transfer fees, but might be more difficult to sell at a Prem Club where players are earning millions and each cost about £5-6m to sign.

I'm guessing the board there will be a bit less keen to bin off half a dozen players just because they don't see eye to eye with PDC if they paid £30m for them.

Can't wait until the Newcastle v Sunderland game next weekend based on what Us v Pox was like. Let the mind games commence - Cisse is a black shirts, I mean cats fan ?

A small point - my footballing grandfather went from Sunderland to Hull to Swindon, maybe he has been reincarnated as PDC and is just going home.

The premier league just got interesting...... Pint

Might watch MoTD again to see the expected fireworks!!

Love 'im or hate 'im, you can't deny that he's good value for entertainment purposes. I hope he does well, loved what he did for us (in football terms).

Never really had a second team. I've got one now.
Milliebung would of made a fine primeminister. Adopting the attitude "I'm not talking to you, you're not a nice person" Still our lose is charitys gain.

not really

lots of season ticket ripping up and one bloke thinks Sunderland will become the home of the EDL because of the appointment

Hahaha. I did see quite a few EDL hoodies when I worked in County Durham.

So inept, crass, ignorant and semi-literate then?

I don't think DM's attitude is "you're not a nice person", it's more "you support a political movement that resulted in the massacre of half my family and drove my father into exile in Britain".

I can't think of a way that Milliband, as the son of Jewish parents who fled Nazi persecution, could have done anything else but resign.

But perhaps as a man who allgedly signed off on shipping suspected terrorists halfway round the world to be tortured for information, he is somewhat encased in a glass house here.

Nope.

We are destined to repeat the same arguments again and again and again.

Hey I can't and won't defend anything the bloke did in government, he's a disgrace to his family name as far as I'm concerned; I can just appreciate that, with his family history, he had no choice but to take the stand he has.

Well well well..

Should be interesting,  if he thought the media interest was bad here it will be 10x that up there, I think the whole fascist thing will not go away so quietly this time as it is mainstream media.

How will players on multi million wages who probably think they are as good as he was going to react to bring told they are shit and wrong,  very easy to inspire 4th division players who admire you less so ego's!

Don't know why people are having a go at Milliband he's a socialist politician cannot see how he could stay without looking a hypocrite,  gone quietly and with dignity?

Looking at some of the previous posts on here I assume a lot of our fans will be following him to PdC's Sunderland now which should lead to some peace.

As a five year resident of Newcastle I hope goes tits up in a comedy style but should be interesting to watch with an unaffected party.
