Sbragia to take over as Caretaker Manager
New man in charge:Sbragia
By The Black Cats
December 11 2008
It has been announced that Ricky Sbragia will take over as Caretaker Manager after the departure of Roy Keane. Sbragia will be assisted by Nick Bailey and Dwight Yorke. The combination of this trio will provide the lads with some Old Trafford experience in the dressing room which can only help.
Sbragia returns to a former club for his first game in charge, and possibly the hardest of the season, when the Black Cats travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.
Sbragia, who enjoyed a sting at Old Trafford as a Coach, will be helped with his duties by Dwight Yorke and Neil Bailey.
The former Bolton Wanderers coach has been first team coach at Sunderland for just over a year now. What a coincidence that it would be the White men who would ultimately end Keane's 'reign of terror' on Wearside.
Sbragia is no stranger to the Caretaker Manager position, he took over from Sam Allardyce when he left Bolton to join Newcastle.
The saying, "It's a funny old game." sure is true, as Big Sam is the bookies favourite to take over on Wearside. This supporter hopes Big Sam gets the job as he did great things at Bolton with a fraction of the amount of money Keane has enjoyed wasting over the past 2 years.
Nick Bailey, the club's reserve-team coach,also coached at Old Trafford at a youth level while Dwight Yorke, who made nearly 200 appearances for Manchester United, is working towards his coaching badges.
Hopefully the Old Trafford experience will help steady the ship and we can start winning games again!
If you watch he is on a good level with the players, never shouts, just gives clear instructions......

A lot of my family support Bolton, they've said a lot of good things about him.
