| | Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Football - Taylor clocks out as another manager fails the old grey whistle test (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Six years out of club management as he ran the FA’s technical department, he apparently only landed the job because the Sunderland chairman had rung him to ask for advice about who was the best manager around and he had offered himself up for the task of saving the club from relegation. |
 | | Taylor cited the intolerable strain of trying to work with a board who would not back his judgement as his reason for going. |
 | | Taylor wanted Alpay, the Turkish defender, Juan Pablo Angel, the Colombian striker, and Bosko Balaban, allegedly a Serbian forward, though no-one has seen hide nor hair of him in action for months, removed on free transfers so that he could bring in some players of his own. |
