Are some of their players from San Marino and Liechtenstein by any chance? https://harriers.co.uk/news/2019/09/06/international-update/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another theme I see Henderson at Rochdale is banging the goals in again. He'd have been good, and much cheaper, back up for Graham instead of Big Ben a season ago. Too late now I think.

roversfan99 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Sunderland seemingly going for the cheap route, can only presume many other choices have rejected them. Cant see Sunderland fans being overly happy with that appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been texting him. He's underwhelmed with Parkinson but his theory is it's poisoned chalice. If he gets them up there are big money people in the background waiting to step in. They will come in then and probably fire him so they can get a more high profile manager, and if he doesn't get them up he'll probably get fired anyway.

Parkinson worked miracles at Bolton. Grayson was awful at Sunderland. Made some awful signings there Miracles? Promotion from a terrible league, then last day survival and relegation before the shit storm of this summer. He was of course under restrictions but surely miracles would have entailed survival in the spite of all that. As it was, he failed but understandably so. I think Bolton fans wanted him gone mid way through last season, obviously that was before things really unravelled. Daniel Stendel fresh from a promotion in the same league last season is an obvious one. If he wouldnt be interested, which would surprise me, people like Ainsworth, or even Adkins/Rowett/Neil Harris, I do wonder if one of those would take it. They could have done worse ie an emotionally driven appointment like Kevin Phillips who was mooted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embargo in.promotion season Kevin Philips? You complained at Bowen getting a manager job at Reading now you suggest Sunderland appoint an novice in terms of experience of that league and Sunderland need promotion.

AllRoverAsia Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 More proof that goals scored are more important than possession stats domination It is what you do, not the way that you do it. Well done to Stanley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have consistently spent more on their pitch over the last few years than we have. We've done the bare minimum to maintain our ground, they've improved theirs.
