Ear hes having a 2nd interview, At Blunderland.

Good luck to him.

Will be seriously exposed at that level, doubt he’d survive past Xmas

Club run on a shoe string budget, coach has no say in recruitment, go through managers almost as quickly as us. Don't suppose it's that good a move for his CV to be honest.
As an aside, is Sunderland closer to DCs home in Merseyside than Hartlepool is?

Only if you go round the globe from the opposite direction.

Certainly be a test and indication of his coaching abilities without a sugar daddy piling cash in.

DC is on a roll, he’s on his own doorstep and has a rich benefactor. If he decides to leave for a managerial graveyard like Sunderland it would be a serious error of judgement.

Sunderland have become a bit of a joke, various owners apparently without enough money to compete, they’ve settled into stagnation …busy going nowhere.
Not a wise move ant sensible manager.

Did an outstanding job at Pools without a sugar daddy.
A good proven manager who I expect to do well at Sland if given the job.

He’ll play a rigid 5-3-2 which will be sussed and won’t know how to change it, any Change in formation when he was at pools was an utter disaster and apparently it was similar at stockport

Their fans will have an indirect say in the managerial appointment, depends if the supporters think he’s up to their deluded standards.

3 promotions at Pools n Stockport in quick time.
That's some utter disaster like.

Maybe you should be the next Pools manager to show us how easy it is.
Super Loyal Fans blue n white army.
UTP

££££££, plus ££ pay off when sacked and getting another job in league 2 quickly after that. him and his bank cannot lose.

Exactly
But you sort of earn that by getting Pools promoted. Ya nailed on to be wanted higher up the pyramid.
Add in his Stockport cv as well.
Still youngish in managerial terms.

Did an outstanding job for Pools with a decent squad of players, and a great job at Stockport with outstanding players for the league they were in. But Sunderland don't have a decent squad and rely heavily on younger players. That'll be different for him and most likely a lot more difficult.
Having said that, trying and failing at Sunderland given the state the club is in will hardly dent his ongoing career.
Possibly would have already had the job there if he'd stayed at Pools.

with the success he has had in his career as manager he should be at a championship club anyway. feel its not his achievements that have held him back but his name. apart from having a long throw in who has heard of him as a player, but if he,d had a few england caps his name would have been mentioned for every job going from barrow up to brighton.

Doing a bit of ‘Googling’ and Challinor isn’t in the frame for the Sunderland job.A
His name will always be mentioned with any managerial vacancies due to his past success.

Bookies got it wrong again, Useless they are

Would probobly get 10k plus a week to manage sunderland, even if he is sacked in 6 month well worth it. I think the fans will love him there.

He’s a good lower league manager, good recruitment, organization and motivation
He isn’t flexible enough to succeed at a higher level imo, time will tell but think he falls short at champ and top end league 1 level

Why would he leave Stockport, the grounds getting developed/ new ground scenario.
so obviously the clubs ambitious and has the money that most clubs don’t have and if he’s happy stay put.
It’s not just Pools where owners at all levels are quick on the draw, it’s becoming the order of the day…… instant up turn in fortune or out on your ear, no patience nowadays in the boardroom.

think many fans have even less patience than club owners have where managers are concerned. they are first on the hit list coming before the players who they have either inherited or signed but have not come off. not all managers are hartleys by a long way when they are shown the door.

Challinor is clearly an excellent manager.

Got us up with an average squad. Described by Featherstone as the best he's worked under (ok, I accept he hasn't had much competition however, for a player to say anything at all about a manager speaks volumes surely?).

Got Stockport promoted twice.

Having cash is, of course, a pretty big help but still not a guarantee of anything (I give you Chelsea, your honour). League 2 is very hard to get out of, like most divisions to be fair.

I'd have him back in a heartbeat and I think he's one of the most promising lower league managers in the country.

For anyone who doesn't rate him, I'd be interested to know what he needs to do for you to rate him

get a new wife who is a poolie.

Hes a winner, Has passion, Does not suffer fools.
99.9% a Poolie.

Depends how mercenary he is, 3 year contract, sacked compen etc then drop back to the lower leagues, he would have no problem picking another job up in the lower leagues.

He’s 0.01% short then.

He is indeed.

I demand 100%

I think yourself and the rest of us are already 100% poolies.

thats the minimum requirement and skill comes after that. nothing worse than a player who performs when they feel like it in parts of the game only.
