Sunderland sack Martin O'Neil

The end for O'Neil

Last night the footballing world was shocked as Sunderland manager, Martin O'Neil was sacked as the Sunderland manager. He was sacked as Sunderland lost to Manchester Untied at The stadium of Light as an Titus Bramble own goal got the three points for Sunderland.
O'Neil leaves Sunderland 16th in the Premier League and only one point away from the drop zone. Martin O'Neil was appointed Sunderland manager December 2011. He got off to a good start as they beat Blackburn with a late free kick. But this season, Sunderland have been poor. They have been unable to score goals and their top quality players are not performing. Sunderland have said they will try to replace him this week with the likes of: Guus Poyet, David Moyes. Paoli Di Canio and many more. People have been saying why would Moyes leave Everton to join Sunderland, but he might as they have money to spend if they stay up.
