'Better contract at Sunderland': Ex-England cricket star reacts to news about his club's boss
The recently-departed Barnsley boss is among the favourites for the Sunderland job.
Founded in 1887, The Tykes play their home games at Oakwell; and have been in the second tier of English football since their promotion to the Championship in 2006. They recently had a memorable run to the FA Cup semi-final in 2008 where they beat Liverpool and Chelsea. They were last in the top flight in 1998, their only season in the Premier League.
