    He took them down. It’s your opinion no one else could have kept them up.

    he also left them bottom in league 1.


    Great CV.

    Expectations and divine right are two different things. I would expect Sunderland and their fans expect them to get out of this division quite quickly, that doesn't mean they have a divine right.

    I listened to the 606 phone in on the way back from Carlisle- a Sunderland fan reckons a recent poll had 96% of them wanting rid of Parky!

    I think @Interested Bystander@Interested Bystander may disagree with at least one name on that list as being awful. :unsure:

    I loved our time under Parky. The League Cup run and the win at Chelsea are some of the best footballing experiences of my life.
    But I do wonder if his enthusiasm for being here had run out, even before Rahic's plans made his mind up to leave. His tactics and substitutions in the two playoff semis against Millwall (ie pre-Rahic) were pretty baffling and smacked of a man who'd stopped caring very much

    Absolutely. it's clearly his fault with his reckless spending and high wages.

    I don;t deny that but he lied and left us in the lurch. He did a few things behind the scenes that wern't very professional.

    Mcardle, Darby, Meredith, Davies all moved on during or at the end of the first season under mccall if i remember rightly. Meredith practically got the milwall coach home after wembley. once the history makers defence were truly disassembled we were a worse side for it as the players mccall replaced them with weren't as good bar perhaps Vincelot and he wasn't even meant to be a centre half. As much as we were in the top 6 both me and me old man agreed that they didn't look anywhere near as comfortable or dominant in games as the play off final season prior.

    It wasn't me that turned this into a Bolton and PP discussion.

    Not the team, just the defence and if that's the case I stand corrected. Although I would contend it certainly wasn't the case for the whole season and once it was indisputably a mccall team the season after, the defence looked shakier. Tons of other stuff going on in the background which contributed to loss of form etc but thats been done to death and I do believe mcall isn't a very good defensive coach.

    The trouble with this is you always leave out what happened in the last 8 matches we may have been still in there but we were sinking faster than the titanic

    If you look at the team Parky put out in the behind closed doors match it will pick up a lot of points. Whether it will be enough to save them remains to be seen
