Sunderland fans are gutted they didn’t hold on to get former West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis.

Tony Pulis the head coach

Sunderland fans have suggested that they wish they had got Tony Pulis, after the Welsh boss was sacked by Tony Pulis yesterday.

Sunderland have recently appointed Chris Coleman to replace Simon Grayson at the Stadium of Light.

But, with Pulis now available, some Sunderland fans wish that Martin Bain had held out a little while longer before making an appointment.

Pulis has never before been relegated as a manager, and he may have been a safe pair of hands for the Black Cats.

Sunderland are currently at the bottom of the Championship table, and there are serious concerns that they could suffer back-to-back relegations.

Wales' manager Chris Coleman follows the game from the touchline during the FIFA World Cup 2018 qualification football match between Georgia and Wales in Tbilisi on October 6, 2017.

Sunderland have won just one league match all season, with Coleman facing a tough task on Wearside.

Coleman takes over his Sunderland side for the first time this evening, when they face Aston Villa in Championship action.

If Sunderland can pick up a victory against Steve Bruce’s men, they could move up to 22nd in the Championship table.
