He didn't do the dirty, helped us recruit our new manager and any hiring is subject to compensation to us. He hasn't ACTUALLY done anything wrong, yet again.

I said when he left that as long as he's not working in the prem until at least November or December I'm okay with that. He can return sooner to us if Frank makes a mess of it.

He doesn't which is why he said that Manchester United were unlikely to come calling

Now I know who you are... You're Simon Jordan - this is what he had to say yesterday:

Jordan said: "The big tragedy for Sunderland, and you look at them in the January transfer window, they are selling players to Crystal Palace who were in the same position as Sunderland, and you wonder why that was.

"It can't be easy for Sunderland supporters and managers. I'm an ex-owner and I don't want to throw brickbats at owners because I was one but they've got no leadership and if your club isn't right at the top it won't be right down the pyramid.

"That means you ultimately make wrong managerial appointments, managers are left slightly adrift from what the club wants to do.

"I wouldn't be Ellis Short because I'd be more committed to my football club than he is. But I'd be saying to my manager you've got to mange the situation, you've got to deal with this properly and I expect you to come out on Friday evening and give Derby a proper game."

didn't he say at The time that he wasn't up for another relegation fight? or am I just imagining it? i
I think he would come back into football if the right club/country offered him a job.

but then at christmas they'll be relegation threatened clubs sounding him out, he'll probably be tempted.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"
