As much as I've tried to erase our last Championship season from my memory the two teams I remember being very decent were Brentford and Bristol City. The rest were garbage. If he got us playing like that I'd be happy.
Sign of the times now mate, I’m ok with it as it shows we might just be heading in the right direction at last
Exactly - essentially in a completely crude sort of way, if we get these 2 Brummies in: Speakman replaces Richard Hill Dodds replaces Paul Reid Obviously its not exactly like-for-like and their roles will be seemingly quite different. The question is now whether they will also bring in a more senior football person to sit above that. Who'd be taking away a lot of the footballing related senior stuff from Jim Rodwell.
Just another thought which is half tongue in cheek One of the few things known about KLD is he's a football manager addict. Speakman is very highly rated on football manager. So perhaps he is KLD's guy
This is a good point so I suppose you have to make sure people can work together. Its a more continental way of doing things which is understandable with new continental owners. If it works the way it does at places like Ajax and Barcelona I reckon we won't mind too much.
And who’s your choice of manager who is going to get this team entertaining and enjoyable to watch dying to know.
as I've said above, so far if these 2 guys come in we haven't actually added any new roles - just replaced old ones
Hope you are right. It’s having supported Sunderland since ‘61 that shakes my confidence in everything they do!
Don't worry fella. I get what you say...we're from the same generation you and I. Think of it more as talented people complementing each other rather than competing with each other.
Nothing official but rumours that 2 guys from Birmingham have been poached to take up roles in the new set up to help prospects through to the first team.
