New Head Coach

[Wayne the Punk]

Xavier Calm. Also worked with him at Hammarby.

He wont be calm with our crazy supporters!

Press at the Academy sounds more "important" than a new Head Coach. Perhaps Speakman is being replaced?

Could be another Phil Babb moment

They've been around a bit these two mind....they don't seem to stay anywhere very long.

No, they don't seem to have been anywhere more than a couple of years. Probably about par for the course these days mind.

Don’t think I could handle another of those.

If it was a new HC then something would have broken in the media overnight.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Press at the Academy today supposedly.

Where have you heard this?

 

[CR17]

Phil Smith hasn't been told apparently so might be a load of ****

Aye I think Cifuentes especially would break at least 48 hours before announcement

Hopefully we get Marti in and he's allowed to bring some of his own staff in with him. Failing that I actually wouldn't mind Lampard in some respects. Always thought he did a decent job at Chelsea first time round when they were under a transfer embargo. Brought a few youngsters through. You would've thought he'd have good connections with getting players in on loan too. I know he was ****e at Everton but even ancelotti didn't have the best time there.

This is Sunderland so we have as much chance of announcing Marti Caine as our new manager. (The older supporters amongst us will know).

I'm coming to terms with the fact that my long held hope for an appointment lasting more than 18 months,in order to introduce some kind of continuity,is a forlorn dream.

I agree. Unless it’s someone incredibly left field or, and I’m loathed to use the word, underwhelming.

There’s nothing on his Twitter and cut and paste Copley has said nowt either

TBH mate the press are so lazy they wouldn't turn out on the Friday, when the Euros start, just for Speakman.

He's been built up, by supporters, into a much bigger figure than he is imo.

And I doubt the club would want a big fuss, about all this, when we're looking for a manager ...


... people would just say it was a diversionary tactic.

My opinion.

Ideally, you'd want someone staying a few more years. Maybe if the next bloke has a bit of success, it will encourage him to hang around.

Appreciate its your opinion but don't agree with this bit. He runs the entire footballing structure of the club, and the Head Coach / Manager reports into him.

That hasn't been built up by supporters. That's from the club direct.

His role coming / going is much bigger news than the Head Coach, who by the nature of our structure, should be easily replaceable.

Could still be Maric

Where has he said he hasnt been told mate?

You'd hope so,but these release clauses seem to be in vogue atm and even a bit of success will have the vultures circling....the grass always appears greener to many.
