They were in the Play offs last season and expectations were for more of the same this season, that said I am surprised- thought he was safe for a while yet because it’s hardly as if a top six finish is beyond them at the moment.
The 26 year old owner wants a younger, more dynamic coach and 60 year old Mowbray just doesnt fit the bill. First poor run of results and hes gone. Harsh but judging by Tony Mowbrays classy response to being sacked he sounds like he knew it was coming. Always like Mowbray and his teams have always tried to play good football.
There was rumours in the summer he was going to go but the 34 year old coach they wanted joined Nice so I wouldnt be surprised to see someone young and unknown coming in. Ill be shocked if its a Gary Rowett, Alex Neil type championship merrygound type appointment.
Sick as a chip man!Quote:

Tony Mowbray - one of the good guys.
And winner of the football manager's 'Lived In Face of the Year' for the last 10 years.
Good manager. As Greavsie famously said, "It's a funny old game". Nothing is guaranteed. Too many owners don't understand these days. Getting out of the Championship is very difficult.
A lot of fans in the Championship are completely deluded
I am sure it wasn't like this before the ridiculous wealth and fame of the Premier league came along
Big sides .......and Sunderland are a big club .....would get relegated , regroup then eventually pull themselves back
And of course the top flight only has 20 odd clubs
Now even if we lose a few games it's the end of the world on here
At clubs like Sunderland it must be ridiculous
I imagine they have someone lined up who coached Dortmund's under 12s or somethingQuote:
