Any idea if Jones is staying on?
they’d be mad like to ask him to leave. Would be bad PR for a start with the fans. He could return to his NED role being paid very little but link the club to sky sports and the fan base.

Just being cautious here. Not sure how much to look into the northern echo article but it appears Rodwell is remaining in his role. Not great news tbh if true. I am just hoping there is more change. Parkinson wanting a chat with the new owners as if Rodwell has said he’s going to get that opportunity. We need a clean slate imo.
This isn't looser lips and leaks imo, this is a statement of facts from Dreyfus who, until the deal is ratified, can't say anything officially. These are just warning shots, across the bows, to anyone thinking things won't change.
As it happens I'm in France, and speak fluent French, so watching the media here ...
... there's no question here that Dreyfus is in charge and will take no prisoners.
I think one key point from that article is why would Kyril be involved in recruitment if this was not already agreed? It sounds like it’s all done but they are just putting all their people in place prior to an announcement.He's obviously been briefed imo mate.
The same goes for L'Equipe who I'd guess he's in contact with ...
... that's good journalism.
"According to sources in France, Sartori and Louis-Dreyfus have instructed recruitment company Executives In Sport to begin interviewing for the sporting director role, and a weekend report in L’Equipe claimed they had assembled a four-person shortlist of candidates based in either England or Scandinavia."
Theres no provocation, it's like a statement but he's clearly quoting L'Equipe.
This lad is obviously the one to watch for me.
The new sporting director will be running most of the important things in terms of the performance and recruitment side.
I think, as of today, Rodwell will keep his post but he will just be overseeing the admin side of things.
Donald and Metheven won't have a meaningful word to day in anything again.
The appointment of the sporting director and reshaping of the recruitment and academy is a massive task and essential to the long term development of the club.
That can only be good news for the club. A big shake up is long overdue and if the foundations are put in place properly, there's only one way the club will go.
I think the funniest part is that the mood hoovers seriously believe that a 2 bit insurance salesman is going to tell a couple of billionaires what to do.People seriously convince themselves that Dreyfus is self financing, at enormous cost, Donald and Methven to carry on as if nothing's changed.
Absolute madness.

They will also have to make a judgement on the future of manager Phil Parkinson, with Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to MK Dons having left Sunderland in sixth position after the opening 11 games of the League One season.
Speaking on Friday, Parkinson said: “If a takeover does go through, I’ll look forward to meeting the new owners and telling them my thoughts on what I think we need to go forward.”
He'll remain until his replacement is lined up ...
... someone already employed is what I've been told.
He will remain until the takeover is confirmed and itl be a new start.
