A lot has been said about Sunderland since the club parted ways with Michael Beale on Monday, with the hierarchy coming under the spotlight.
Sunderland sacked Michael Beale on Monday after just 12 games in charge.
The 43-year-old won four of his 12 games at the helm but lost his final two; against relegation candidates Huddersfield Town and then Tony Mowbray’s Birmingham City.
Sunderland fans largely disliked Beale. The former Rangers and QPR boss made several comments which angered fans and faced an uphill battle to win their approval very early on.
And whilst the majority of fans are glad to see the back of Beale, there’s an argument that the Sunderland owners have acted hastily.
Tim Sherwood says Sunderland expectations ‘too high’
Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast this week, pundit and former player and manager Tim Sherwood had his say on the Sunderland saga.
He thinks that expectations of Sunderland owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus are ‘too high’, saying:
“It’s the expectations of the football club. Perhaps the owners there now, their expectations levels are a little bit too high.”
