Lee Johnson sacked as Sunderland boss.

Elaine Palmer: I'm sorry to see him go, as he comes across as a decent bloke, but he doesn't seem to be the man for the next stage.

Margo Lax: At least they should've had someone in the pipeline, so who's in charge of our sinking ship now? The powers that be cannot go on sacking managers like this making the City a laughing stock.

Trevor Fox: Should have gone after the Rotherham defeat.

Mark Davies: He saw thousands of tweets wanting Johnson out and misunderstood?

Paul Anthony: Neil Warnock till end of the season.

Richard Booth: So we haven’t got anyone lined up, typically Sunderland.

Dick Dodds: Absolute madness.

Wendy Liddle: Should never have been sacked, they should of been

behind Lee, it’s a shame.

John Munro: That's crazy, on probably the worst day in the UK weather wise, that's my excuse, pretty ruthless, or is Defoe coming in?

Sheila Sly: Sacking manager after manger has achieved nothing, nothing at all. Every sacking further destabilises the club.

The idiots got what they wanted but at what price? Who now? Who would even pick up this very poisoned chalice?

Robert Robson: No one in their right mind will touch the job.

Michael McCardle: Most of the players are useless not good enough for this league never mind championship. The fans deserve better than this lot.

Rye Punder: Only bad decision about this is that it’s a bit late. Should have sacked him before now.

Dave Webster: He's still up near the top of the league, I could understand if he was near the bottom.

Dave Rain: Well done
