I used to work for Stuart Donald who owned Sunderland and quite frankly, he has been all of their recent problems. He didn't have the money to sort them out and he wasn't astute enough to do the job they needed as chairman either. They may be a different kettle of fish under new ownership.You're of course entitled to your opinion BB but I think it would be a huge gamble for him and it's likely he'd have to take >£1m/annum hit on salary initially compared to some of the other roles he's in with a shout of landing. I can't for a minute believe he'd currently consider taking a L1 job. It's certainly not a risk I'd be willing to take if I were him - if it goes wrong, his reputation would be massively damaged.
Atm I still see Sunderland as a basket case - several other managers have tried and failed there and it can't just be down to them.
