I'm glad it's not going to be JAnsen, because then I don't have to get irrationally (actually, perfectly rationally, in my opinion) angry at people constantly getting his name wrong.
 
So a few things …

I said before it won’t be until the back end of next week when we announce the new manager.

I think if it is Rosenior it’ll be a decent appointment. Like I said on here a couple of days ago the job he did at derby (as the assistant) was very good and under appreciated.

Also I find Sunderland Twitter so frustrating. People complaining it’s not Jensen … that’s what happens when you convince yourself it’s nailed on to be one person. We have no idea who it’ll be. Best of waiting to see who is announced. I don’t think we’ll be close to an relegation battle like some people are inferring
This is where I’m coming from.

Rosenior Had a hell of a head start with the quality at Hull and still couldn’t get Hull over he line . I don’t like the reports that he’s a possession based coach who doesn’t seem to be able to transition to other styles, I feel an attacking style coach will be much more suited to us England fans.

I’ll always back any new coach but is this guy really the best one for us ?

In the same breath people shouldn't be praising things going on at the club then should they? If you can't criticise because we don't 100% know you can't praise if you don't 100% know.
Sorry mate, of course we can praise what’s gone on inside the club, it’s already happened. Nobody is praising anything that hasn’t happened, we aren’t like you fannies knocking things that haven’t happened.
 
Sky sports arent always right tho, theyll be hearing rumours like the rest of us. Im sure they said he was joining Lens but that hasnt happened yet

Since you are so confident we will be down to our 5th or so candidate, what is the order of our preferred choices and who is next on the list?

Well it’s been quite clear Still was our priority and the evidence we were after Jansen looked pretty concrete so there’s 2. Svensson was also due for talks before he committed to another contract at Union wasn’t he? So now we’re onto at least the 4th.. Wasn’t there also talk of Rohl but we wouldn’t pay his compensation?

Not saying all of those were manageable but if we’re talking preferred choices then all of those fit that criteria.

Also totally forgot about Maric

I don’t think I’ve hidden the fact I want Rosenior well. We may get the best person by bad management. What is fairly clear now though is there is something in our offer that isn’t working. Whether it’s the people involved, recruitment plan , budget, pay, staffing or a mix, some red lines seem to be losing good people.
 
Lets hoping we get an announcement in the nxt couple days, the Friday statement makes me think its close - obviously it's just words so until someone is announced thats all it is

I get folk worrying about things, we are all worried about it, until someone comes in

I dont get folk saying we are down to our 5th or 6th candidate as none of us know who were the preferred targets - but each to there own

The process has taken far too long but will be worth it if we get the right manager. Ill judge the process more when we see how the new manager gets on

Enjoy the rest of your weekend fellas n lets see what the new week brings

This is bang on for me, this is my worry. Again people will just say we don’t know what’s going on it’s all speculation etc etc but it seems to be proving very difficult to nail someone down.

So the list is just on who youve heard a rumour about rather than any facts???
 
Who is it then?

mark my words - bookamark it etc - Rosenior wont last the season if its him - only safc could go get someone who was sacked from his last job for playing boring football and failing to meet targets

same old English style football, pass backwards and sideways



Jansen - good appointment
Still - good appointment
Cifuntes good appointment
Knutsen - good appontment
Roy - good appointment
Rhol - good appointment
Maric - good appointment
Svensson - good appointment
Dionisi - good appontment


would even take the likes of - papszun or wicky - Vranken who have had success

Cooper would be very good

unless the reason Jansen is no longer under consideration was our choice and not his.
