EFL pundit Sam Parkin believes it would be incredibly harsh if Sunderland were to part company with Tony Mowbray. Rumours online suggested the Wearsiders were lining up a number of candidates to replace their current head coach, despite finishing in the Championship play-offs.
Mowbray took over from Alex Neil back just a month into the season when the promotion winning boss left the Stadium of Light for Stoke City. The Black Cats came through an injury crisis to snatch a play-off berth on the final day of the season and will be looking to build on that come next season.
However, Parking believes the loss of Manchester United loanee Amad Diallo means a top-six finish is unlikely again next season, despite the impending return of Ross Stewart.
