    Hopefully the ‘yet’ means they will be coming in soon. Could just be down to contracts getting sorted etc.

    Didn't add an awful lot to the sum of knowledge, but did pull together most of what has already been put into the public domain.
    Not sure what to expect really, but dont expect an instant impact, think he will need time to get ideas across to the players and for Speakman to provide him with some forwards.
    Hope he turns out like Arsene Wenger at Arsenal and stays in post for years

    Such an odd one. Not sure what to make of him. His record beyond that first six months is poor but then, selling his four top scorers is always going to be incredibly disruptive.

    The way is team went forwards is incredibly exciting.

    The way they defended, especially the second year with three at the back, looks like the stuff of nightmares.

    Seems he had a mare with signing players but that isn't his remit here, so who cares.

    I'm both excited and terrified. I guess we will see what he has learned and how he adapts.

    Needs a better, more balanced squad than we currently have mind. Three coaches have struggled with it as it is. Do your thing KS, change our minds.

    I’m hearing from the toffee crisp packet (some won’t get that reference) two new names of Mikel Le Proc and Meek Du Dodds :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I reckon he asked his entire coaching staff “Who wants to join me at Sunderland?”, and he misheard when they all said “**** it”

    I don't think a lot of those AltEnding analyses. For everything he gets right, he's off the mark with at least as much. Think he takes unnecessarily negative tone towards Reggie in this too. There are things that happened with him at Lorient that should give us pause for thought but I think he makes too much of that and doesn't consider that circumstances will be different here.
