Ex-QPR boss Mark Warburton thinks that whoever took over from Tony Mowbray at Sunderland would have had a tough task, amid Michael Beale being sacked.
Beale was shown the door at Sunderland just a little over two months after being appointed at the Stadium of Light as manager.
He lasted just 12 games at Sunderland and reportedly had misgivings over taking up the job when offered the role.
However, Warburton feels that it would have been tough for any manager to succeed if they were replacing Mowbray at the Stadium of Light.
He pointed out that Sunderland fans loved the veteran coach and following his sacking, any manager would have struggled to convince a very demanding fanbase.
