Totally floored me when I heard Wagner had gone. Was certain he would stay and try get us back from the Championship next year.
He is and always will be a legend for Town. The way he fitted in with the club and the community was testament to the man. An all round thoroughly decent chap. Even more so when he said that he would stay to the end of the season if that was best for the club.
I hope Deano gives him compensation for all he's done, rather than both just walk their separate ways.
Who next? I don't think many managers would touch us with a barge pole just now. We are dead man walking. I think if Hudson does a half decent job he will do it until the end of the season.
Then Jokanovic or a proven Championship manager that plays footy the right way (not Colin). Shame Chris Houghton isn't available. Or Eddie Howe.
So would we go down the Wagner route again...ie a non proven virtual unknown? I doubt it. That was a risk that worked beautifully 3.5 years ago, but we don't need to do that now. We can attract bigger fish, even with relegation.
I watched that documentary on Netflix, Sunderland til I die.....and I have to say Chris Coleman came across really well, even though they did eventually go down. I'd have a punt on him.
