I’m holding onto any slight possibility of good news mate. Halfway through June and nothing, yet as soon as that final whistle went against Sheff Wed, I thought thank **** that’s over at least we will know soon enough.
It’s the indecision since then that’s my biggest issue

I wonder if there is any other reason we are not making progress with a head coach.. IF (and there have been a few unauthenticated rumours that KLD wants to sell his shares) then that would make a deal of sense, but if not that, there has to be another reason that a club of our size simply cannot appoint a suitable replacement for Beale given the timeframe they have had to look at potential candidates
 
If this "other news" was going to delay the appointment of a head coach then 1) why have we been interviewing and made at least 1 offer and 2) why would KLD make an announcement last week to say it's imminent?

More straw clutching I'm afraid chaps.

Not saying that's the exact reason. Of course there are other issues at play in that space. I have noted these on here plenty. However, just saying that there is also developments in the space off the pitch.
 
Going to have to forgive me my stupid ADHD brain been doing overtime anyone think there's a chance it mught be Southgate once euros are finished. His contracts up, he's exactly what the model wants youth wise, young enough manager not keen on style of play like, managed in the north east before too. Or maybe a young manager or assistant at the euro's?
Would want too high wages. Also think his style is ****e.
 
Which Leven?

It's the one in East Fife, near the airport ...

... so good they wrote a song about it, 'Leven on a Jet Plane <laugh>

Aye Smug mate, sod it. Footy is on and I am going to bloody well enjoy it.

Got a glass of Chablis on the go, a nice cod fillet for me tea, and no doubt the malt will see the inside of a glass soon enough.

Enjoy boys and girls.

It's great having the weekend off this thread ...

... any posts are just repeating the same things over and over again, nothing new whatsoever.

Anyway, here's a prediction.

At least one more Championship club will be without a manager further along the line than Sunderland.

Just thinking.,Prehab and Upthere are both people who have insight. Not out yet but Upthere said big news will come out and Prehab saying there’s change ahead. Fairly confident in both so I think we’ll get an inkling soon whatever it is.
Yes a new manager is big news and is also a change ahead. It’s bound to happen eventually.

If we are replacing speakman then just maybe we have a replacement lined up and he has made some requirements of the head coach he wants. Thus the time its taking. Im probably talking bollox like

Is Speakman was going, surely he would have gone by now? However, with our club, who the hell knows what is happening!

New Sporting Director and Head Coach double appointment would be an interesting one.
 
Would the Gus Bus kill 2 birds with one stone?
Not sure about this. Some of the best I’ve seen football wise but also some of the worst, those criticising possession football would lose the plot, and he’s not succeeded elsewhere. No idea how well he could structure things as a DOF. I like him though and he’s not a yes man , would love him involved somewhere. Might make better first team decisions.
