Done a fantastic job to keep them up in the end, because they were down and out when he took over. I expect a bigger job will be coming soon.... bookies even have him somewhere on the Brighton list of favourites, but I doubt he could step up that far so quickly.

Have to say, Chris Coleman comes across as a top person; feel sorry for him that it didnt work out well at all. Makes you think though; people always talk about Sunderland fans being up there with the best, but apart from the club being run so badly, one of the biggest points of the documentary is just how difficult the fan base is to please. High expectations, a lot of anger when they aint doing well..... not sure that sort of negativity is ever good for the players, although the way they spunked money on people that were quite happy just to pick their pay, no surprise.
Great documentary though, recommend it to any footie fans who aint seen it; especially like the bit the scouts gets a roasting for providing a scout report on Ibrahamovic (sums up the joke at the club).... CEO guy at first comes across as some corporate d*ck, but by the end, I felt sorry for him too as he was just the face of an owner wanting no more to do with the club.

Apparently they are filming again this season, so should be quite interesting with them losing the cup final and whatever outcome of playoffs are.

Watched with interest at this Jonny Williams fella, that lower league club supporters rave about, when he came on as sub with 20 mins to go. Reminded me of a poor man's Neymar..... takes the ball on mazy runs down dead ends until he feels a touch of some sort and then rolls all the floor holding his knee a lot was my assessment.
