New Head Coach

[Blond Bombshell]

Your the 2nd person to say that in the last hour, I'm trying to find out if it's true

Well, well, well. There could be light at the end of the tunnel

 

[Bob the Mackem]

Stop whining, you fanny

I resemble those remarks

 

[ChunkFTM]

IF it is Marti and the reason for time it’s taken is because it wasn’t easy to pull off then I think the vast majority of fans will be okay with that (my self included). I really hope this comes off.

Cifuentes would be a cracking appointment imo

 

[ChunkFTM]

Not confirmed the names mate

Cifuentes is the name I've been told is close to signing

Now im not getting ahead of myself at all with it for 2 reasons:
- we were close to still n it was all agreed but fell down at the last minute
- surely if it is Cifuentes, i would have thought it would have been leaked at the QPR end

I was told monday (just gone) was a key day and then got told the talks were really positive and it was looking good

We will see what happens, just want it sorted now

@Prehab26 liking this post too. I am begging haha

Maybe there's some legal wrinkle, but I'd have thought if we wanted rid due to incompetence we'd sack him rather than demean him by shifting him to the under 21s.

To be honest Smug has hinted at this for a good week or so

 

[TopCat.]

He might be tedious but unfortunately he is 100% accurate whether people like it or not.

That's down to interpretation.

He's just doing a daily count to get clicks

Hinted at what? and how?

I'd argue that his daily count tweets are better than 90% of his articles though

The QPR bloke coming in well that’s what I’ve picked up from some of his posts

 

[Confucius]

Just a thought I have no idea of his contract at QPR but couldn’t the £900k be for the remainder of it? Doesn’t mean QPR have to accept it

 

[steesafc]

I'd definitely take Cifuentes like

As per my earlier post,

https://www.sunderlandafc.news/tran...s-sunderland-confirm-first-transfer-decision/

This falls into my theory Speakman is toast. My original thoughts were KLD replaced Speakman in the hunt for the new coach, relieving Speakman of his duties. Speakman was downgraded to review the u21 squad, this article backs up this role. There are no quotes on coach recruitment or first team recruitment.

I believe Speakman will be removed in August/September after a handover to the new DoF. Removing him at the end of the last season would have been seen as a sign of weakness, the club being rudderless etc.

We shall see.

For the amount we got for him I thought it was a great piece of business. However if qpr are asking for just a tenth of that then it's a no brainer for me. It will still leave us with a a decent amount to buy players. How much have you heard for compo

The Stewart money (except the promotion add on) is long gone. That was basically what covered last summers signings

The £9m loss?

 

[Wheatsheaf]

My personal opinion I think SAFC are trying to secure the services of Cifuentes or Maric...time will tell...we need a breakthrough soon though..

How when we sold him at the end of the window and bought no one after

@Prehab26 have you heard anything regarding Le Bris. That seems to be going around from a couple people. I’m hoping for Marti personally
