    You are the one that is just talking in riddles.
    Did our owner say he wants to take Sunderland to the Premiership, yes
    Do the actions of our owner last season say to supporters that is someone who is serious about taking Sunderland to the Premiership, no.
    Are the actions of our owner last season the reason why it may be putting off potential candidates to say yes to becoming our head coach, I'd say it's a very good possibility.

    So, are you saying he doesn't want promotion and, if not, why not?

    He said he does but his actions last season do not back that up. Again you are just repeating the same question, try reading the answer.

    I must have missed the answer or didn't understand so, to be quick, are you saying he doesn't want promotion?

    Presume we need permission to talk to him. but this could have been going on behind the scenes if QPR want to manage any announcements

    So, you want a discussion but can't be bothered to answer a 'yes or no' question despite all your posts.

    And you're over here from RTG, what a f*cking surprise <laugh>

    Robbie Keane has had a brilliant start to his managerial career to be fair.

    I'm not from over the road, I packed it in years ago, but I do remember you, how you bullied posters, nothing changes does it Riv.

    The story I was given was that we asked permission which was turned down, the club informed him of their decision and he's put pressure on them to change their mind. They won't make it known because, if he eventually decides to stay, it'll sour his relationship with the supporters.

    As I say, just a story, and the lad was saying it was just a story he'd heard, not any real source.

    I’d rather we went for a manager who had managed somewhere other than the arse end of nowhere.

    FFS, I asked a simple question ...

    ... if that's bullying I think you need a new dictionary.

    I'll stop my terrible attacks on you now, I can't apologise enough.

    Oh and, everyone knows I'm Riv, don't think you're being clever.

    That should have been set aside for this very reason.

    hoping for a friday 'reveal'.

    i am none too fussed who it is (within reason, of course) we all know good managers/coachs fail every season and get sacked while those lesser known keep bulding their C.V.s nice and steadily...and any one of them could arrive here, get the backing needed to boost the current squad, who can play some damn good football when the mood is right.

    the regime/coach just need to do what is needed and meet half-way, every coach needs to have say in players etc and most (if not all) would really want their own team with them rather than being thrown into a 'ready made group' as that never works (speculation of course), lads need to know they have support.

    as for speakman, i really do not want to get into the current fad that he is the man to blame for all things bad...he was hired by KLD which means he may well be simply working to the remit he is given, remember Bain and all the sh1t he got?...he was given a remit of lowering costs and for all we hated watching it unfold he only did what he was told, now i like the way things are although there are some obvious changes that need sorting to get the squad back to entertaining us again, we cannot have another season like the last one so the next few weeks have to be done right, get the coach in and back the lad, simples.
