It could be soon for Sunderland boss Ricky SbragiaThe ineffectual manager has told chairman Niall Quinn that Cardiff's Ross  McCormack and Roger Johnson are among his key targets for the summer if he  remains in charge.   More from Hatchet Man. HATCHET MAN: Theo sticks to his Guns - New deal for Walcott means he's in the money.but not the medals08/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Shear madness - Newcastle's knight in shining armour seems to have surrendered already08/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Sticky situation for Toffees - Chelsea will take their anger out on Everton in FA Cup final08/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Harry not wild about Europe - Redknapp fears becoming a victim of his own success08/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Allardyce will have to stay quiet if he decides to sign Barton07/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Watch out Wayne, your anger might just backfire on you once again07/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Sorry Milner, moving up one place is not a great success for Villa07/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Gerrard is deluded if he thinks Liverpool are too good not to win the title07/05/09 VIEW FULL ARCHIVE However, it is a very big if and his uninspiring buying plans can only hasten his exit.It is one thing to get rid of the big time pay-cheque players in the Sunderland squad, but it is completely another to try to fill their places with Premier League rookies.There is no doubt the team needs an overhaul but, if they only gamble on cheap and cheerful replacements, relegation - if it doesn't come sooner - will certainly come later.
