Ally McCoist makes “surprised” Sunderland claim as manager hunt continues.
Ex-Black Cats striker McCoist has had his say on the Sunderland managerial situation, whilst also expressing disappointment for Tony Mowbray.
Former Sunderland striker Ally McCoist believes that the next Black Cats’ boss is taking on a ‘massive’ job, and has stated that Tony Mowbray should have been given more time at the Stadium of Light.

It has been a disappointing campaign for the Wearside outfit, as they currently sit 12th in the Championship, but, realistically, they have no chance of recording another top six finish, which had been the aim.
Mowbray was dismissed back in December when Sunderland trailed the top six by just three points, and it’s fair to say the appointment of Michael Beale as his successor didn’t work out at all.
The ex-Rangers chief lasted just two months in the role, with Mike Dodds now in charge on an interim basis for the remainder of the season.
