Next Head Coach

He's definitely in the mix but where people are getting it's definitely Mowbray until the end of the season I don't know, I highly doubt Speakman would have commented on it and if it wasn't him it's not credible.

Either way to answer Ted's question it's accurate that there's nothing confirmed.

 

sky, the bbc, telegraph . Haven’t looked elsewhere yet

 

Stop making stuff up he never really tells you anything but all of a sudden when something negative happens he tells you speakman it's all down to speakman

 

I know someone at the club, don’t normally get any info, but was told, everyone loves Speakman, take it or leave it

 

I know someone who works at the club who says that the players are indifferent about Speakman.

 

I know someone at the club who says the players hate Speakman.

 

I know someone who works at the club and I just text him asking him what's gone on and he said:

"I serve pints in the working men's club you daft bastard how would I have any clue what's gone in with Alex Neil!"

I think he knows more but doesn't want to share it the selfish twat!

 

To be fair the players should have not a lot to do with Speakman on a day to day basis so don’t really care what they think of him.

 

I’ m not making this up, but it’s your choice to believe this or not.

 

You seem to have a hatred for speakman for some reason? Everytime something negative happens it's all speakmans fault! For this occasion the only person to blame is AN, if he wanted stay he could of stayed, at the end of the day he wanted to leave

 

I hope he buys a house at Mowbray Park.

 

Seems everyone knows someone at the club

 

I'm not wondering where it's being reported I'm saying that I'm skeptical about the accuracy of the rumour.

 

Speakman says we still have to through an interview process

 

KS - "Tony, you just have to answer this one question and the job is yours. What animal is the Sunderland mascot?"
TM - "Chicken"
KS - "Close enough Tone, welcome aboard."

 

Disagree. Speakman is great at youth recruitment. Not football business management. He has overseen many screw ups.

I'll keep quiet now as it's clear people want to blame people that's left and not put doubt on who is left. That's fine but it's not the reality.

 

Really struggling with everyone’s views here that it’s binary - one or the other.

Speakman has to (and will) take a lot of the blame for this. It’s the view that it’s entirely the clubs fault and Alex Neil has done nothing wrong which will grate on a lot of people.

 

Done with it now mate. Made my feelings known.

 

As I mentioned above Neil and Speakman have been banging heads for a while now. Both at fault.
Speakman thought he had Neil over a barrel but Stoke give him a get put of jail card with an increased salary offer.
