00:00 Hello, my name is James Copley from the Sunderland Echo.

00:02 And the big breaking news today or yesterday night,

00:06 as it happens, is that Tony Mowbray has been sacked

00:08 as Sunderland's head coach.

00:11 After 15 months in charge at the Stadium of Light,

00:14 Mowbray led Sunderland to a playoff semi-final last season

00:18 after finishing sixth in the championship

00:20 after he replaced Alex Neil at the Academy of Light.

00:23 But after a mixed run of form

00:25 during the latest championship season,

00:27 Mowbray has been sacked.

00:28 Sunderland are only three points off the playoffs.

00:31 What happens next?

00:32 Well, the bookie's odds at the moment.

00:35 John Eustice, the ex-Birmingham City manager, is 5-1.

00:38 Nathan Jones, formerly of Southampton and Luton Town,

00:41 is priced at 6-1.

00:43 Neil Warlock is also 6-1.

00:44 I'm sure he would love a job at the Stadium of Light,

00:46 one last hurrah for him.

00:48 Paul Heckenbottom, former Sunderland player, is 8-1.

00:51 And surprisingly, former Sunderland and Newcastle boss

00:54 Steve Bruce is 12-1,

00:56 although we think that would be quite unlikely

00:59 given past events.

01:01 But yeah, head over to the Sunderland Echo website

01:03 for all the latest and breaking news

01:05 concerning Sunderland's head coach Hunt,

01:07 and thank you very much for watching.
