Terry's past it - his last league start was at Newcastle, where he was their worst defender, and same again today.

Who would you guys bring in if you were managing Sunderland? I'm struggling to think of an available manager who is better than O'Neill.

Bookies favourites are Mark Hughes and Steve McClaren. Neither one would be a particularly inspiring appointment.

Not surprised at the sacking of O'Neil, just a bit shocked at the timing. I watched the first half of yesterday's game and to be brutally honest, Sunderland were absolutely useless. But I think it's more to do with the players. Adam Johnson has been a shadow of himself and hasn't showed anywhere near the form he did for Manchester City. Danny Graham I don't think has even scored and Stephane Sessegnon has been disappointing. Also, does anyone else think Rickie Lambert deserves an England call up? Scored yet again yesterday so why are we ignoring the highest scoring Englishman in the Premier League? Just a thought...

Di Canio is massive favourite to take the Sunderland job.

Unfortunately for Sunderland, he's shown exactly the form he showed for City. Lazy, inconsistent and often invisible.

It's why Sunderland have brought in a new Right Winger.

Funny you should mention that, David Miliband's just resigned from whatever role he had at the club "in light of the new manager's past political statements."

Vice-chairman apparently. I had no idea he was there until tonight.

Neither did I. I doubt many Sunderland fans will really care either.

I knew he was there but didn't know it was that high a role - I thought it was honorary board member or some bollocks like that.

Still going down though.

PDC was good at Swindon, tbf.

But it just reminds me too much of the similarly stupid idea we had in 2009 when we gave Alan Shearer 8 matches to keep us up, and will more than likely produce the same end result.

Collymore and Linekar tweeted about it. Now they seem to believe it was an April Fool

VC is normally just a title I think. Didn't his dad flee from the Nazis?

A bit surprised at the backlash, it's not like he has been 'outed' or anything, it's old information.

If it is an April Fools Day, then they're a bit overzealous.

Ah ok.

PDC has been saying he's of a fascist political bent since he was a young'un - he was banned for doing a Nazi salute against Livorno while playing for Lazio. Plus a trade union withdrew sponsorship to Swindon when he was appointment. So its hardly new information that he's a fascist but the fact he's in the Premier League means it seems to be worthy of butt-clenchingly tedious analysis.

Being a fascist should always be something that is analysed. To think that some of the older Sunderland fans and maybe even some of their old war-time players fought (and maybe even had family members die) to stop their hateful ideology spreading leaves the idea that their club's footballing representative advocates such toxic nonsense particularly unsettling.

A fascist coaching an EPL team. Now thats something one should be thinking about before one complains about what goes wrong in leagues in other countries.
