New Head Coach

I really don't like club statements because they're forensically analysed, torn to shreds and used to attack the club.

People absolutely demanded a statement about the FA Cup derby ...

... it was all instantly dismissed as KLD being a liar, desperate for money and shafting the supporters.

 

Getin, another new name in the frame

 

What does he say. He’s blocked me

 

so it IS over then

 

He Disney have a clue

 

So the plot thickens, and now makes sense why it’s took so long, his new agent trying to start a bidding war

 

Will Still remains in the picture for the Sunderland job. However French side Lens have also made an offer for him. The 31-year-old will go to the highest bidder.

Whole load of nowt, still set to be appointed at Lens

 

This isn't new. He has been playing the game of course he has. Been said on here previously. His stock his high. The worry has always been that we have taken too long to close and other clubs would come in. They have.

 

So that's saying Sunderland have made him an offer which, if true, means Magnus was right in that respect.

 

If this is true move on for me, he hasn't done that much in football management to warrant a bidding war

 

I wonder (don't want to speculate) what the delay in closing it would be. Could well have been him holding things up, with us not being forceful enough in closing it. Or it could have been us and he's grown impatient. It's hard to know.

Neither of them are brilliant from the club but to varying degrees.

 

Of course we have. He has been here twice. We have been in Comms since Christmas. Surely no one things we have not been well interested into appointing him? Issue is, he hasn't commited.

 

Same. He's a delicate little flower is Nixon.

I must be blocked by more journos than I follow - they don't like their views being questioned. Still muted by Copley

 

Time to move on then

 

Yes, I know it seems common knowledge that he's been to talk to the club ...

... I can't recall too many saying we'd offered him a contract.

 

The sceptic in me thinks Nixon is just jumping on to the latest story from L'Equipe, but covering both bases, so either way if he joins either of us he can say "aye"

 

Pretty sure after the Wicky 'news' broke yesterday he said something like 'his name has been put in' in response to whether the news was true or not. Then a few minutes later Romano categorically denied it. Not exactly sure what 'his name has been put in' means but doesnt sound like a denial to me. Dont believe a lot of what he says if I'm honest.

 

Not being an enjoyable team to watch since about September last year.

The club not having a playing identity.

It being June tomorrow and still no sign of a head coach appointment, while other championship clubs are doing transfer business.

Over stocking the squad in some areas and ignoring others. We have multiple players not getting minutes because their pathway is blocked in their position, while we are threadbare at other positions.

Failure to use the loan market well despite it being good for us over the previous few seasons.

Spending decent fees on players like Mayenda and Bennette and then giving them awful loans.

That's what I can complain about. Mainly the first one, I just want to enjoy watching us and that hasn't happened for a long time.

 

Ah right apologies, understood.
