We have no idea if he is being undermined, pure speculationYes we definitely do. So do agents, potential head coaches, potential signings, current players. If Speakman is being undermined then we are in trouble.

We have no idea if he has been offered more or even if we have approached him, so what questions need to be askedPersonally think Still has been offered a better deal elsewhere, which if that is the case then fair enough but why everytime is there a massive mess with us? Surely for that alone questions need to be asked if the with higher ups at our club, im losing interest in it all
Who I wanted all alongBloody hope not
No idea on the reliability of this account but if this is true, it would suggest that Still may not be going there.

If Speakman is making the decisions then imo that's bad because he shouldn't be here. If Speakman is here but is being undermined then that is bad because the structure is gone. That's why I see the behind the scenes as a mess and am being so negative about the club atm which is unlike me.We have no idea if he is being undermined, pure speculation

https://sports.williamhill.com/bett...OB_MG267191/Next-Permanent-Sunderland-ManagerAnyone know where you can get odds on the next manager? Doesn't seem to be many offering odds.
Why shouldn't he be here ? 1 season where we finished lower than expected and he should lose his jobIf Speakman is making the decisions then imo that's bad because he shouldn't be here.

Already outlined my reasoning but it all stems down to lack of conviction. Had the option to replace or back Mowbray last summer, did neither. Even the approach to the model, which I like in theory, is half arsed. Don't go all out for youth and then spend wages on Dack who was neither a good player nor a good role model. He spent money on youth in positions we already have young players who aren't getting minutes themselves. Spent something like £3million on Hjelde and Mundle in January, why? Writing off half a season under the guise of getting our pick of the coaches in the summer, to then still not have an appointment this long after the season is done. Spent the most money EVER on transfers by a club within 2 years of promotion from league one outside of the 2 clubs, Norwich and Southampton, that done double promotions yet do we have much to show for it? Poor at loaning players out. Ignored the loan market this season despite it working for us and other clubs the year prior. That enough?Why shouldn't he be here ? 1 season where we finished lower than expected and he should lose his job
Good post mate. You’re bang on. It’s last summer that annoys me more than anything. What a chance we had to have a real go.Already outlined my reasoning but it all stems down to lack of conviction.

You are pwsafc from over there aren’t you? It’s a message board man, if we just posted what we knew about the club it wouldn’t last long would it? He even started his post with “personally think”We have no idea if he has been offered more or even if we have approached him, so what questions need to be asked
You should perhaps also have the failure to sign a proper strikerWhere to start?
1. The BCB ****e.
2. Appointing Beale.
3. Writing off the season when playoffs were still in touching distance.
4. Finishing last season in 16th and only 6 points above relegation.
5. Having the 2nd worst form in the league in 2024.
6. Potentially chasing Still for months only to be told no when we’ve apparently thrown all our eggs into that basket.
I should really be asking you what we’ve got right recently, because if you don’t think any of the above is a problem, then you need to take off those rose tinted glasses mate.
