Sunderland sack manager Martin O'Neill

Cant understand the need to sack a manager when theres only 8 games left....shocking decision by Sunderland AFC.

rude!

Paolo Di Canio appointed Sunderland head coach.

Dave Milliband left because of Di Canio's appointment? O'Neil was sacked yesterday and I'm fairly sure Milliband's departure to the US was announced days ago so I can't work that one out unless they'd already decided to appoint Di Canio!!
