He's been interviewed and seems to be the front runner for the managers job at Sunderland.
It's a club he's worked at before helping them up from the Championship to the Premier League early in his career.
They're struggling to get out of League One currently despite having by far the biggest budget in that league they keep coming up short in the playoffs and it looks like they'll be in the playoffs again this season.
Be a shame not having him as a pundit on Sky Sports because he's pure box office entertainment playing the cold hearted bad guy role.
Maybe at this level his straight talking might still get players onside the biggest thing with him from previous clubs seemed to be he couldn't handle working with players who couldn't do the things he could do. It's often forgotten just how talented a player he was his close control and passing in midfield was as good as anyone's in that era it wasn't all about crunching tackles and violence.
