    Not likely. His football bored me to death.
    Sunderland's fans have wanted him out for months. Bolton's fans hated his style of football.

    What makes you think McCall and Parkinson could work together?

    It's dire, but it's time to come up with something original. Not re-employing former employees. Our current situation is a prime example.

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

    Wasn't this the man who when leaving, allegedly literally emptied out the office and took all current players files with him.

    Since leaving City he has been sacked more times than I have been to @Fordy117@Fordy117 's car wash.

    As for suggestions for him to be a DoF. He and SM are as opposite as you can get and I would not see them working together at all.

    To be fair I’d love that although I’m not sure McCall would take a step down. It’s been raised a few times on here about McCall being a good coach and you can probably see that how he is with the players, unfortunately though he just isn’t management material.

    Exactly. Stuart bristles when Jamie Rayner from Radio Leeds starts asking awkward questions. The fur would fly within a week of them working together.

    I'd query the view that Stuart is a good coach!

    Sunderland and Bolton are the wrong type of club for him. He needs a club where the fans believe they're overachieving or where they've hit rock bottom.

    Bolton and Sunderland still think they're Premiership clubs so even when they're doing okay they believe they're underachieving and won't put up with his style. Some of our fans laughably got that mindset too once we got into league one.

    What about Parky's fitness man Allanby is it? Did well at City last time.

    Parky would never return while Rupp owns the club and neither would he take any shit from a 29 year old CEO. In any event, he ain't coming back, so you can all untwist your knickers and put em back on.
    As you were.

    Parky figured out Rupp in one meeting. He isn't coming back here.

    Yes, he isn't dancing for any 29 year old wide boy.

    Plus he's a former manager and you wouldn't want him back

    Right now I’d take John Docherty back and welcome Darren Morgan as our midfield general.

    Slightly better than watching City in that the screen doesn't buffer.
