130-goal Sunderland legend could be the answer to ‘rudderless ship’ saga

The Black Cats players need a new manager to start working with them shortly after the summer saw no changes made to the position.

Who can blame Sunderland supporters for growing weary of the never-ending rumours about the team’s incoming head coach?

The story has continued far too long, leaving the club with the appearance of a ship without a rudder that is sailing into dense fog.

It’s tiresome to state

The most crucial thing is to get someone in as soon as possible so that players know where they are.

A player such as Phillips might provide players with an extra reason to wish to stay put.

He would have a devoted following. Was he going to perform worse than Beale?
