Three cheers, Hip Hip Hooray
For newly appointed Tony Mowbray
According to some on SMB
Saltburn's answer to Bill Shankly
But not all think he's right
For the Stadium of Light
Where coaching careers are often short
Some get sacked, others abort
Over the last ten years
Several felt the pruning shears
First to lose his appeal
Was Irishman Martin O'Neill
Di Canio got the Bronx Cheer
After only half a year
Guy Poyet a few months more
Before he was shown the door
Next up Dick Advocaat
Very quick to depart
Along came Sam Allardyce
All over in a trice
David Moyes took the next call
Then saw the writing on the wall
For Simon Grayson's time did fly
In and out in the blink of an eye
The same for Chris Coleman
His tenure, another short span
Congratulations to Jack Ross
More than a year as Sunderland boss
Phil Parkinson, not quite as long
Till he was told to run along
Lee Johnson served a year
Before his desk he had to clear
Alex Neil dropped by then went
Off to sunnier Stoke on Trent
