    Very, weve spent plenty over the last 2 seasons

    How well we spend it would be the main question

    Not a clue mate, I have zero inside info, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t spend

    Calm down mate, there’s absolutely nothing in this we know for sure fact (other than the time it’s taking to get someone in and even than I agree totally we shouldn’t have panic employed some quickly while the market was so small mid season)

    Could be one the reasons for the Still hold up if he’s got wind we’re flogging Jobe, Clarke et al

    Mind players will naturally want to leave if their club hasn’t had a head coach since mid February.

    Sometimes good fortune overrides logic mate ...

    ... Ranieri was a joke figure and a panic appointment, then Leicester won the league <laugh>

    Or was he sacked because the players were failing?

    I’m hardly saying anything ridiculous like so you can stop the sarccy comments. The team haven’t really performed on a consistent basis since Mowbray and will be eager to see who their new head coach is. The longer it drags on the more questions they will have of their future.

    Sorry mate but you're the one who keeps making statements as if you know everything ...

    ... now you know what our players are thinking.

    No offence meant.

    A meander through my thoughts.

    Maybe, just maybe, we arent good enough to attract these coaches like Still? Maybe we are just a pawn in the game, used by ambitious people to jump the ladder. Lets face it, we finished low mid table in the championship and dont have a squad that screams promotion. We also rarely give a coach a full season, only Ross and Moyes in the last decade. Why would somebody like Still trust us to work for him?

    Interviewing for a top role is a 2 way process. The interview quizzes the interviewer as much as the other way round. I have just accepted a very good role in my sector, was headhunted, but went back twice after job offer to talk to them and find out if they were going to be able to live up to my expectations. I wonder how our relatively inexperienced top table would come across when interviewed? Maybe they dont know how to provide assurances and robust answers because they dont have that know how.

    Maybe we are too focussed on overseas coaches. How relevant are Sunderland to 30 something Germans or Austrians really. Perhaps if we went for the 30 something Brit they would understand the scale of the opportunity better. There are as many exciting young coaches on our shores, in my opinion, probably more tbh.

    Why do our fans turn their nose up at someone like Rosenior? Every Hull fan I know said he has completely rejuvinated them. I think sometimes fans look at a loan signing or two and think it is enough for top 2 or something. Rosenior would be a very good fit here in my opinion. Similar football style to Martin who has just gone up. I would try to pinch Mousinho from Portsmouth, excellent job. I would take Evatt and I would even test Bristol City hard on Manning. These guys, if we want young, are talented with ceilings we dont yet know.

    As for the likes of Heckingbottam I dont know why he is put up as some alternative universe styls disaster. He is still young enough to learn. Sheff Utd needed to go up with their squad, then completely took his best assets away. I have no doubt he would work harder than anyone if he got the job here. He would put his heart and soul into it, and wouldnt be thinking about us a stepping stone and what can he get out of us.

    Anyway, no doubt it will be Still and we will be celebrating. All I want is someone to last at least 2 seasons and help mould our footballing identity at first team level. If that ends up as Rosenior I for one would be delighted. If it is Still, equally so.

    TBH it is just people getting frustrated and concocting stuff to make the club look bad then twisting things to suit whatever narrative suits their opinion, you know normal stuff when the 'this club is **** brigade' can finally come out in full voice to show us all their unwavering support but are usually nowhere to be seen when things are going well <laugh>

    Cowards only come out, from under their rocks, when they think they have the upper hand ...

    ... sad little c*nts who don't have the courage to keep going to games when the going gets tough.

    Will they? What's the timescale threshold for that? If we hadn't had a permanent head coach since mid-March would that be ok? Can you help me out with the weeks since manager x player unhappiness quotient?

    Haway man. We need to stop treating this lad as some sort of Oracle. He really isnt all he is cracked up to be by some on here. The internet media do very little to stand up tittle tattle. It isnt like when we had real journalists double and treble checking stories and sources. It is throw enouhh darts and some will stick these days, and I would hazard a guess where the ammo is coming from...

    Of course it's a rumour when he tweets it, that's what the journalists do
