Interesting reasoning from Coleman. How many kids is the cut off point to not be a prick? What if you have four kids but are unmarried? What if one is a stepkid? I need to know more.
@Jonny_King I was wondering the same. Maybe in the heat of the moment he computed the insult as 'w@nk*r', which would make his response more understandable. Or maybe he thought he said 'You haven't got a prick,' which would make even more sense.
I can forgive him the slightly irrational response in the circumstances. I find the reasoning of the fan that persuaded him the manager was a prick if he was not wearing black clothing and a permanently downcast expression equally interesting.
Thought Coleman came across well in the series, giving up a decent job to see if he could be the one to arrest the slide and being frustrated by awful lazy players who would neither produce nor leave to make way for replacements. The video is a joke , comes across far more as pissed bloke trying to be a hero on YouTube abusing someone who has just lost his job rather than the concerned fan railing against them who don't care.
But Sunderland are an oddity aren't they.
No-one has done a decent job even mid term for ages there. Even O Neill after initially keeping them up couldn't.

They were a yo-yo team that haven't been able to establish themselves in the Prem for a while and have found out the costs and stresses of going up and down have taken a toll. Most fans and players are too short term now for a club to be able to get relegated without setting fire to itself.
It's amazing really how you can accept hundreds of thousands of pounds to sign for a team at the bottom of the premier league in January and then sulk in may after inevitable relegation.

I think Keano was moderately successful before he 'fell out' with the chairman

Seems McGeady has been shown the door...and rumours of a Luke transfer. Things not going well in the frozen north. Hopefully discontent and Phil Parkinson will still be there in January!

Surely not because he was out seen eating Burger King the other day
Simon Grayson is keen on him apparently - and he did work with him at Sunderland. Just a rumour at this stage, though, so every chance it comes to nothing. I reckon he's either gonna stay in League One or go back to Scotland.

It could be used as a training video for student psychiatrists. How not to do it.
"How do you feel? You don't know do you, prick!'

Love the way he totally bottles it at first, looking to the floor when he realises shouting something abusive from close range might not be clever.
Then saves the abuse for a safe distance away.
Classic coward

It's when you hear they had players into league 1 on 30-40k with pay cuts applied you realise what a joke of a management they've had.

A good decade ago now...time flies.
About right.

Blackpool interested in him from the sound of things.
Surely McGeady will be on absolutely sky high wages, way beyond league 1 to say the least? How could Blackpool afford him?

He's been told to train on his own and that he has no future at the club.
I would be quite happy to train on my own for £30k per week!
for £30K per week I'd actually do some training for the first time in my life!
