Club parts company with head coach.
Sunderland AFC have parted company with head coach Gus Poyet this afternoon.
The club would like to place on record its’ thanks to Gus and wishes him well for the future.
Chairman Ellis Short said: “I would like to thank Gus for his endeavours during his time at the club, in particular last season’s ‘great escape’ and cup final appearance, which will live long in the memory of every Sunderland fan.
“Sadly, we have not made the progress that any of us had hoped for this season and we find ourselves battling, once again, at the wrong end of the table. We have therefore made the difficult decision that a change is needed.”
An announcement will be made in due course regarding the head coach position.

I actually feel a bit sorry for him, but putting all his eggs in the Defoe basket was always going to be a mistake.
As a man I have a lot of time for him. I was sat behind the away dug out for a 3 nil win over Brighton - he took the banter with great humour and I also think he did a very good job there. They'd be in the Premier League now if it wasn't for Zaha.
