LOST FOR WORDS OVER SAFC’S WOES

-

Rory Fallow is an editor with the Roker Report and also appears on the Wise Men Say podcast.

He said he is struggling for words to describe the feeling after SAFC were relagated after several successive years of struggling in football’s top flight.

Mr Farrow said Sunderland now needs to look at the long-term future of the club, and although they cannot keep sacking managers, he doesn’t believe Moyes is up for the job. “It’s not surprising, but I’ve been trying to write something for the Roker Report for the best part of an hour, and I can’t come up with anything,” he said yesterday. “It just doesn’t feel like there’s anything to say. “I think we accepted our fate back in October, that it was going to be like this. “But in terms of what happens next, I think we need some spice in the team. “We need a manager who looks like he wants to be here, one that we can get behind. “It’s just so unbelievab­le, and yet it’s been so predictabl­e. “I don’t feel angry, but I don’t feel happy about it either. “Now it will be interestin­g to see what happens, because Martin Bain has admitted that Moyes has got the job, even if we went down, and we can’t just keep sacking managers, but we have to look to the long term. “Is he the wrong man? “Look at Hull, who have perhaps been in a bigger mess with its boardroom, but since Marco Silva has come in, has a one point lead on Sunderland. “It’s awful and I think there needs to be change and I don’t think Moyes is up for the job. “Just looking at his body language and he was asked by the BBC if he would be here next season, and he couldn’t even look at the reporter in the eye.”
