Not surprised, even though 3rd and one point off automatic, their fans never really took to him.

Serially under performed every season, but honestly who would they get that's better?

Sneaky bid for Embleton before the window shuts??

Don't worry, the next manager will do the same, if there's one constant in life it's Sunderland ** up despite being the second biggest club in the world behind the Wendies.

Well another winter of discontent from Sunderland.
Do they go through more managers than Watford

Took me ages to find out who Johnson was.
Come on you can’t be that lazy or spell Sunderland!
Rant over!

He's not going to go to a lower league club with a shocking history of failure.

They will probably go for someone left field
Jermaine Defoe perhaps?

Does anyone ambitious really want it? It's set up for failure, promotion isn't seen as an achievement and the fans have to be the biggest bunch of entitled fantasists around.

Maybe an ambitious fantasist with a sense of entitlement? Few knocking about!

In the same way Evo was tempted by Bolton, an ambitious manager will hope he could be the one to turn them around

To their fans and owners 'turning them around' means getting them established in the PL, they're not set up for that at all.

Sacked when 3rd in the table just 2 points behind the leaders. 
Unbelievable.

Really can't stand them or their arrogant entitled fans. Sunderland till I Die was a pretty funny documentary. Jack Rodwell was my favourite character.

Worth it just to see them slagging him off for signing Embleton!

Hahahahahahaha as if they even think he’d go to them.
You literally cannot be a top 10 club if you’re in League One. Impossible. ** delusion bunch of idiots the lot of them. Let’s hope they stay down there.

He'd only go there if he wanted his own tv series.
Reading that thread is comedy gold. I particularly like the comment "this is probably as good as it gets for Blackpool." There's even one poster who puts "no thanks" As if they could do better.
At least some of them recognise the reality. They will never attract a top manager while they keep sacking them at the drop of a hat even when they're doing a good job. Johnson was their fourth permanent manager in four years, had the club in a good position despite Saturday's result, and had a 51% win ratio. They aren't even in particularly bad form generally. Total car crash of a football club, Critchley wouldn't go anywhere near it and neither would any other self respecting coach who wanted to be in a job in twelve months' time.
