Sorry, trying to catch up, are we going off the word of a guy nicknamed Lunatic that Still is in a Sunderland hotel? I don't like passing on people's bonfires but... Pssssssss.
That's hardly surprising tho is it. I mean that's such a completely insane sounding post its going to be quoted/sampled/nicked/misquoted by all and sundry. At least that's what my webbfingered mate Looney Dave says.
That could've been taken last week and posted today and people saying it's not england. Looks like the law top to me overlooking Shields beech lol
I always thought that the Farioli thing was never as far gone as it was made out. I'd heard KLD wasn't that keen on Mowbray and I can believe was looking into possibly replacing him, but the way it came out always felt to me that we were being used to smoke out other options. I remember it being in the media that if he took over his first signing was going to be a 32 year old right back who'd only played something like 16 games that season, which just never fitted how we operate, especially with Huggins and Hume there. I can believe that when the news broke and the backlash came out, the club paused, not due to the backlash but more than it wasn't that far along and a decision hadn't been made whether or not to replace Mowbray and they wanted to be sure it was the right decision. Farioli then moved to Nice, but as you say the relationship between Mowbray and KLD and Speakman was broken and only got worse. Beale, I think got the job at that time because we'd put all our eggs in one basket of getting Still after sacking Mowbray, but when we couldn't get the deal done and others were too difficult to complete we settled on him as available. That's why after sacking Beale they've taken their time. They need to make sure it's the right appointment, they need to make sure people are fully aligned, both the club and the coach, that flexibility and adaptability goes both ways and from the clubs side making sure there were viable proper alternatives in case the first choice didn't work out.
