Its like we havent moved forward since theyve come in?? They have got every decision spot on with managers so far - all have moved us forward and got us a step closer to the PL. You keep making stuff up about it all going to s**t because theyve appointed Dodds - they havent appointed him!! I cant be done with folk slagging a club about things that havent even happened. I dont expect fans to all agree with the decisions the club made but its crazy to slag the club you support about a decision that youve made up in your head We dont know if Dodds was ever in the running or not, we dont see how he is behind the scene. Keep making stuff up about what might or might not happen - lets just let it play out
unsure at the moment if the have, you can just feel the negativity on social media and constant slating of the model, even though so far it's done good
I never said that, i dont know who they have identified - like you dont! Not sure why i bother responding back, you are just going to keep slagging the club for something that hasnt even happened (and something you have zero inside knowlegde off)
Oh dear, are you feeling left out, bless. I answered you directly, when it was appropriate ... ... then answered a question about three different people calling me by name, which is pretty infantile tbh. Am I supposed to tag all three, bearing in mind tags don't even work on this forum
I think we should just announce whoever was top of the shortlist. Don't care if they turned us down or had an awful interview.
Personally think Dodds has come across well in front of the cameras and is obviously well thought of at the club. If the club decide to give it to him, then there will be numerous reasons for that, many of which we as fans will never know
If he's saying that there's more names in the running that means they're a lot further away than where we are. If that's the case and they were seriously interested in Still they'd have to make a big push now for him, which would get a lot of attention. So I doubt Still is anywhere near the top of their list (looks more like Espirito Santo is close to the top).
The Hellberg thing is the real head scratcher. He would seem a good fit. If he's been interviewed and outright knocked back without an almost guaranteed alternative agreed, I dont understand why he goes to Hammerby. I know we're all prone to inflating Sunderland's importance but surely levels and levels above that. He would of had to have had the worst interview of all time. Unless there's something off, like he doesn't speak english, I can't see it.
The club got slaughtered for looking at other coaches in the summer lol You can't always get what you want, But if you try sometime you'll find, You get what you need.
Would fit with Dodds saying he’s prepping for the Bristol and Coventry games. The only thing is, if Dodds knew Still was coming in next week then I think he’d have more robustly distances himself from the job when quizzed on it last night.
Perhaps the club are using Dodds, with his connivance, as a bargaining chip with Reims ... ... 'Don't get carried away with the compo lads, we have a great candidate already.'
Has anything new developed since last night? Been at work all day and I don’t fancy going through the last 20 odd pages etc Still in for Still? Or is Dodds the main man?
Whats in the water? Came on to see if there were any updates and its just people bitching at each other
Even last season I’d have been thinking “For ****’s sake Kyril, pay the angry Frenchmen, grab bonfire bollocks and get your **** together” Now I think we’re clinging to the past. The current Director of Football setup offers much greater stability than a manager that controls everything. The last two appointments have been spot on, and each one has improved the club. We don’t need to hire Dodds full time, or pay an extortionate fee to a pack of cheese munching cock blockers. We can keep going for weeks if necessary.
Good research, and a good shout. We are fairly relaxed with appointment time scales, and it gives them time to find a replacement.
