    I’m pulling his chain marra, he used to PM me stuff over the road, then ended up calling me a mag for some inexplicable reason.
    But then again, considering your reply, it’s also the choice of other posters to believe him or not, either here or RTG. I mean we don’t want everyone just agreeing now do we?
    But yes over there can sometimes turns into puerile abuse which I haven’t yet seen on here

    Does anyone think it's going to be someone not mentioned, a bit of a surprise? People are suggesting there could be an appointment this weekend.

    Wouldn't surprise me. The club have been quite good at preventing leaks about this sort of stuff since KLD arrived. That's what made me sceptical about the Maric rumour. I think its good that they keep a lid on things.

    Definitely possible !

    Whole Maric thing could be a bit of artificial interest to boost his worth at his current club for all we know

    Their manager is leaving at the end of the season so could be a smokescreen to get himself a promotion?

    I think the club are set on Still and his current poor form won't bother them. It seems to be a 'Klopp situation' where everyone really knows the manager is going which affects the players.

    It also hands Sunderland a few more cards to play in the negotiations.

    Here’s one.

    Will Still or Rene Maric ?

    With Will you’ve already got that head coach experience and we know he’s a scholar of the game but with Maric he’s this enigmatic, smart mystery figure.

    I think both are exciting but for me I’d go for Still

    I’d probably edge towards Still but been impressed with what I’ve heard and read on Maric it’s just ones ‘walked the walk’ to an extent and the other hasn’t, fine with either if I’m honest both risks but both exciting risks

    Would be nice to have any announcement either before the game or nice and early next week, just to keep the good news coming after yesterdays news

    Oh yeah, that will be an issue. No doubt. That said, seems he is in a bad spot currently so not sure their board will want him next season anyway.

    You heard anything about this Maric? Got some people who feel it's dead certain and then some contradicting reports saying otherwise. Whoever it is I hope it's done soon so we can focus on recruitment haha

    Recently? No.

    Last thing was in the winter when he was in the mix until Micky Beale swooped in.

    I’d love to know what the thought process was behind that one, given the people who were in with a shout at the time.

    If I could post the Spiderman gif where they are all the same pointing at each other I would.

    Speakman and Beale being in the outfits.
