    Sunderland AFC can this evening confirm that Richard Hill and Tony Coton have left the club with immediate effect.

    Both joined SAFC in 2018, undertaking the roles of Head of Football Operations and Head of Recruitment, respectively.

    The board would like to place on record its gratitude to both Richard and Tony for their contribution and dedication over the past two years.

    All at SAFC wish them well in their future endeavours.

    I'm just looking for anything good that comes out the club at the minute so hopefully it might be the next owners getting Donald to clear the decks of hanger ons <cheers>

    Wasn't expecting that mind. Wonder who we'll poach from Eastliegh to fill the positions.

    Isn't Campbell meant to be bringing in his own team for positions such as Hill and Coton if he took over..? Unsure whether I'm reading too much into it.

    Strange timing but I pray to god it has nothing to do with a Campbell takeover

    I've absolutely no idea what this means ...

    ... since FPP were knocked back it's all gone mental.

    Donald resembles an autistic teenager with raging hormones and Tourettes syndrome.

    Strange for both to go at the same time, lets hope for better results from their replacements.

    As a recruitment team they were the gruesome twosome ,if Parkinson needed them I’m not sure we need Parkinson, he should know who is available and who he wants . Those two never ever filled me with confidence glad we are shot of them !!!

    Good. Let's not try to turn this into anything other than a positive.

    Never really thought too much of what they did, so not really bothered either way TBH. No mad dash to replace Coton at least, as there's going to be a lot of players on the market soon...

    We're going to be recruiting for next season while there is no football to watch.
    I would guess that PP will know who he wants and Rodders will bring them in.
    And we'll obviously end up with a team of quick and powerful players with skill and a great attitude.

    He would get stick if he kept them but are you giving him stick for getting rid of them?

    SD has realised it's cheaper googling players on deadline day.

    And likely more effective.

    Hope you are right mate.

    We are desperate for some pace and physicality and of course a little bit of skill.
