Long may it continue. One if not the only one thing the owners have got right during their incompetent tenure
43.1 % win ratio after 153 games back in charge.
The only manager to have that kind of ratio with over 100 games in charge was a certain Jimmy Hill over 50 years ago... 44.3%
I’m not sure if that means anything does it?
It means hes doing better than most managers we have had
It means hes doing better than most managers we have had
And means it would be hard to find this magic alternative manager who would be attainable that has that kind of record and that has a record of getting teams promoted.
So if he managed his entire career in the top flight he’d have the same ratio?
Hill and Robins never managed in the top flight
Is Dowie a better manager than Sillett? Is Robins?
No
Best manager in my lifetime (1982)43.1 % win ratio after 153 games back in charge.

He's the only manager to bring relative success to an absolutely horrendous 20 year period in the clubs history... And still looks like we are gearing for even more success... Credit where its due... We've had some high profile names here who have absolutely failed
Won't be long before a big club comes in for him that he can't say no to, unless we go up this season.
Enjoy him while we can, we'll soon be back on the managerial merry go round with the Russell Slades of this world.
I agree credit where it’s due but he can’t be compared to managers in the top flight as it’s a very different circumstance
I agree to an extent, but it's all relative, the lower the division the lower the budget, smaller buying power etc...

I merely said he is doing better in terms of wins and half decent results than the major majority of managers we have had in recent yearsSo if he managed his entire career in the top flight he’d have the same ratio?
Hill and Robins never managed in the top flight
Is Dowie a better manager than Sillett? Is Robins?
No
Er no as in league two we had one of the top attendances and also top 7 budgets so achieving 10th in the top flight is a far bigger achievement
I know we all love to think our manager and players will stick with us no matter what but if a Barnsley or someone of that ilk came in for him he’d be off or at least giving it serious consideration
Barnsley are a Championship clubSunderland are a much bigger club than us or Barnsley and they flat out said no
Barnsley are a Championship club
Not for long
Anyone who compares Robins’ impact with Jimmy Hill wasn’t around in the 1960’s.
But from the (admittedly limited) times I’ve seen us this season I’d say this could be the best footballing side we’ve had since dropping into the third tier (including the purple patches we had under Robins before and under Mowbray).
Considering the state of the pitch, some of the passing football today was amazing. The missing ingredient is still a beast of a striker, and it remains to be seen whether Godden can deliver over a full season.
there’s no chance a big club will come in for him - Slade in terms of promotion championship games etc is pretty much the same as Robins
Barnsley are a Championship club
I am talking about nowWe could very well swap places with them next year.
I am talking about now
I would think that wages wise Sunderland would be paying a lot more than BarnsleyBarnsley are a Championship club
I still think a manger would choose Sunderland over Barnsley today
I dunno. Flicking the finger at Wasps and the Council is up there too m8
Like I said I somewhat agree with you, but think you are also taking away from a remarkable turnaround of a club in free fall, that had no players on long contracts and that plays its home football matches away from the city.. We are currently punching above our weight in league 1 with teams like Sunderland, Ipswich and pompey and Rotherham massively outdoing us wage wise... Like I said the job he's doing is fantastic
