    IF it is Marti and the reason for time it’s taken is because it wasn’t easy to pull off then I think the vast majority of fans will be okay with that (my self included). I really hope this comes off.

    Maybe there's some legal wrinkle, but I'd have thought if we wanted rid due to incompetence we'd sack him rather than demean him by shifting him to the under 21s.

    To be honest Smug has hinted at this for a good week or so

    That's down to interpretation.

    He's just doing a daily count to get clicks

    I'd argue that his daily count tweets are better than 90% of his articles though

    The QPR bloke coming in well that’s what I’ve picked up from some of his posts

    Just a thought I have no idea of his contract at QPR but couldn’t the £900k be for the remainder of it? Doesn’t mean QPR have to accept it

    As per my earlier post,

    https://www.sunderlandafc.news/tran...s-sunderland-confirm-first-transfer-decision/

    This falls into my theory Speakman is toast. My original thoughts were KLD replaced Speakman in the hunt for the new coach, relieving Speakman of his duties. Speakman was downgraded to review the u21 squad, this article backs up this role. There are no quotes on coach recruitment or first team recruitment.

    I believe Speakman will be removed in August/September after a handover to the new DoF. Removing him at the end of the last season would have been seen as a sign of weakness, the club being rudderless etc.

    We shall see.

    The Stewart money (except the promotion add on) is long gone. That was basically what covered last summers signings

    My personal opinion I think SAFC are trying to secure the services of Cifuentes or Maric...time will tell...we need a breakthrough soon though..

    @Prehab26 have you heard anything regarding Le Bris. That seems to be going around from a couple people. I’m hoping for Marti personally
