Don’t get me wrong Rosenior seems more likely than Jansen based purely of the fact I think fishpaste has better sources than Copley.

I just don’t understand the catastrophising over it. We are clearly at the end game now so need to wait and see what happens tomorrow
 
I heard Rosenior when I first posted a week or so ago. I replied to my post the page before. He is absolutely in the mix.

I hope we are more ambitious.
Me too. Rosenior failed top 6 with a better squad than ours.
 
Rosenior would again be fine. I have been guilty of it myself but we need to stop looking at league position with other clubs with completely different squads. Mowbray was finishing mid table and worse with Blackburn. Maresca was ****e at Parma. Martin never finished in the top half with MK Dons or Swansea.

Also silly to say Rosenior is free without mentioning that Jansen is also free. Can't use it as a slight against one and not mention it with the other. Jansen isn't the type to demand a coaching team either, he's very much a head coach not a manager.

And that's what we are doing. I think the club have it all coming to them with the delay they have caused.
 
Let me make my view clear. This appointment needs to be bang on. Rosenior is clearly a 5th choice appointment (if he was to be). We need someone to galvanise the fanbase. We’ve had months sort this out and nobody should settle for some fodder. I don’t care what anyone says, we’re Sunderland and we should start acting like it. We still can. Let’s wait and see.

I don't see how Rosenior is 5th choice. I'd say the only definites were Still and Maric.

But that being said, it doesn't seem relevant - on the basis that whoever we appoint now is surely 5th choice (if you believe there were 4 other candidates who we've failed to secure).

I think it’s the fact we knew we needed a manager since February and Rosenior would resemble an afterthought. Became available after the season finished after being deemed not good enough by Hull City. Should be aiming higher.

You have no idea other than basing it on rumours where he is on the list

I get what you mean. But I think it’s clear we were all in on Still. So appointing somebody else once Still turns us down isn’t necessarily an “afterthought”.

I think that’s exactly what it is mate, to be honest. Don’t get still, hire someone who we know will come on our terms? Look, I’m not trying to say this is a forgone conclusion. But if Rosenior was to get the job I wouldn’t be impressed in the slightest. That’s all I’m saying.
