Liam Rosenior is set for a second round of talks with Sunderland as they close in on a managerial appointment.

Rosenior will get down to the crucial details with the Black Cats over budget and staffing after an initial interview last week.

The former Hull City boss had a Zoom chat on Thursday evening with the seven man team looking to find the right solution to for their vacancy.

Rosenior was an initial target when the season ended but was keen to listen to other offers. However Sunderland are now emerging as the best available to him.

And after Sunderland failed to land some of those they wanted - and others are in work - Rosenior rises back up their list.

QPR boss Marti Cifuentes is favoured by one key Black Cats official but he has a six figure compensation figure on his head.

If we really want Cifuentes and think he's the man 6 figures is pennies. As someone mentioned earlier Hjelde was £2,000,000

Is Delap any good? Seems as though he's had a few loans without scoring many goals.

Goalscoring record hasn't been great. I think I'd be hoping for a Roberts/Clarke situation with him, he has the attributes it just hasn't clicked with all these loans. Hopefully a permanent home and some development work and he could start to find the net like he did in City's youth sides.

This thread is starting to remind me of that old film where people are marooned in a jungle somewhere and waiting for rescue.....can't think of the title.
Rescue doesn't come and some of them go mad with the waiting and the uncertainty and start eating each other.

As someone who didnt want Rosenior, I've read, what I found, a few cracking posts on here over the past couple of days, that have defo give me a more optimistic outlook with him. He's likeable, his teams have an identity and he has experience at this level. These are my concerns with this appointment (tbf not even a reflection on LR).

LR was sacked a week into May, we had nearly 3 months before then to identify candidates, I think its fair to assume LR would not of been in our thoughts whilst employed at Hull. That makes me think there has been one of two scenarios if hes appointed. 1) We couldnt attract higher calibre candidates from those we identified before his sacking, if this is the case, then I ask why couldnt we attract these names or get them over the line? 2) Of the candidates we identified since Feb, LR is the best of the list. If this is the case, then with all due respect to LR, that must of been a pretty underwhelming list imo.

It also concerns me slightly that Hull watched him for a couple of years, where he did a good job but still thought they could improve on him, specifically noting they wanted to improve the style of football. (Their owner does come across a bit of an idiot tbf).

If hes appointed, I will feel like our manager process has ultimately failed like it did when we appointed Beale. I dont mean that LR is a failed appointment (I wouldnt even be that disappointed with him just a bit underwhelmed), I just mean I feel like we couldnt get candidates that we preferred or our manager recruitment doesnt stretch further than unemployed British managers.

Dont want this to come off as negative towards LR or writing him off at all, think he would do a solid job, its more of a club structure above him Id feel worried about ( obviously some of my points are just my assumptions and may not even be right).

I fully believe our number 1 target since Mowbray left was Still however his release clause in December was unrealistic and we moved to appoint Beale (unfortunately).

We then sought out Maric who was due to leave Bayern, Still then became available and we decided to go after him.

We got advanced with Still who agreed to join us, Lens job became available and Still had his head turned and decided to make himself look good by briefing the press.

We went back to Maric which by this time Kompany had taken over and wanted him to stay.

In effect we have been working down the list since start of June, which LR became available in May.

Hindsight, we should’ve just appointed Maric and left Still to play his games elsewhere but the club ultimately wanted still which has set us back a lot.

I think LR will be a success if given the tools to do the job, ie a more experienced squad and a striker or 2.

With respect to us all, no matter who they appoint NOW, they will say he was our original choice, it's funny how things are starting to seep our re our recruitment process.
And the real reasons we don't have 1 yet.
I do honestly think the owners have set us on great foundations for the future, but hey ho this has been a shambles and it looks like someone is covering their arse.

What about his 3 backroom staff???????
Do you all think after this cluster **** of an appointment, anyone will be allowed to bring in 3 or 4 backroom staff while KS rules the roost.
Here's hoping for proper changes.

Who is the “7 man team” involved in hiring a new manager?
