Tbh i have been told a few different names now lol

Think that just shows how tightly its being kept

Reckon it wont be long till we find out anyway
I've been canny critical of the club and stand by it but one thing I will give them props for is how quiet they keep things these days, this isnt the first time either, signings and even Beale kept well under the radar.
 
2 names have been mentioned quite a few times on here and the 3rd was a new name to me but the person did say it was unlikely to be them

All 3 i like the sound of and would be happy with - 2 id be really excited by

Im hoping we hear in the next 24/48 hrs
Hear as in name leaked or announced? Apologies for pestering

I think rightfully critical at this stage but i think if its an appointment that you like then youll def be less critical

The biggest issue was they waited too long for Still, but that deal was pretty much done, he agreed on everything (was getting everything he wanted) but couldn't sign till 1st of June due to comp that reims would have been due. Lens came in and from what I've been told (from a reliable contact that has nothing to do with sunderland) said is that Still felt Lens gives him the better opportunity to then move to 1 of the big clubs in France or get a top half PL team. Hes an ambitious guy for sure but i was told he was impressed by what we had offered him

The issue is they have acted quickly enough since then imo - it needs to be sorted this week and im quietly confident it will be

If thats how you feel, then thats good enough for me mate.

You are right that if I like the appointment, my frustration will probably fade fast being the fickle git I am. But still think there will be underlying concerns about our footballing operations. Still time to get it right, but put a hell of a lot of pressure on themselves leaving it this long.
