Mark Hughes is the frontrunner for the Sunderland job. ](*,)
Martin O'Niell is so out of touch with the modern game its unreal. I would be amazed if any premiership club touches him again.
I think they would be better placed giving a chance to an unknown young manager. A manager who could make a name for himself at the club, who? I don't know.
I was thinking of the likes of Ian Holloway, Paul Tisdale, Karl Robinson or see how Paolo Di Canio could get on if he's free. Those are names of younger managers who have enjoyed brief success but at lower league clubs.
I would add Poyet to the list but, don't think he'd take the job. And I'm not saying any of those would be good choices but they would be worth a go ahead of Mark Hughes, in my mind.
Di Canio on his way to Sunderland for an interview apparently.

How times change. When Hoddle was sacked in 2003, Martin O'Neill was by far the most popular choice on this board to replace him. As we had to wait almost a year for Santini, his name was mentioned on here probably more times than Moutinho and Damiao put together.
