Oatway will be a disaster up there .
Why?
Oatway will be a disaster up there .
I think we've fooled Gus and co.; it's been unseasonably warm and sunny up here for the last few days.
I'd suggest double-strength thermals when taking training at The Academy Of Light; the wind blows mighty cold on The North Sea Coast.
Oatway was & always will be an attention seeking idiot.
Couldn't stand him at Brighton, thought he was just a hanger on.

I always liked Oatway being around even though, as an outsider, I'm not exactly sure what role he played.
To me he was just a nice link between our new, continental approach and the dogged bunch of honest, lower-league pros who won trophies at Withdean.
I assumed that he and Poyet had come to blows after their differences were finally and brutally exposed. But it's kind of heartwarming to find that isn't the truth at all.
My head says, good luck to all three of them. My heart kind of wants Poyet to get a little come-uppance, if only to make him realise that he's a manager that's still learning his trade, not the new Ferguson, and needs a good dose of humility to go with the talent he clearly possesses.
It will be interesting when Charlie starts mimicking the north-east accent with a bit of 'banter'. The Mackems will see right through him.
Although I'm sure his enthusiasm and energy is what Poyet feels he needs around him rather than technical help at the moment.
A nice two year contract will mean his retirement fund should allow for a new car every few years and no mortgage. He's done very well for himself and his family.
And if they can keep Sunderland up there will plenty more rewards to follow.
I'm pleased he's on the Black Cats bench rather than ours.
There is actually the possibility that they came to blows over the Palace match, that this is why they were both dismissed, but that they have worked it out and are moving on, which is what some people on here are incapable of doing..... which is their problem, not mine, or Gus's or Charlie's or Tanno's. It is possible for people to fall out and then make it up again - or maybe any punch-up was just an indication of their passion.
But then again, quite possibly there was no punch-up. But those three have moved on. So should we.

Are you aware that Charlie has his UEFA A badge? He only needs the Pro badge to progress further. He's not just the resident clown as many would like to believe.
