I personally would but only if he implements the RB style of play which he never did at Leeds. He really wouldn't be received well though. Loves the sound of his own voice and is VERY American:emoticon-0140-rofl:
I think what happened at Leeds would be enough to put a lot of people off. The rest of it would be the icing on the cake.

Like you say, someone from that background would be interesting. Even someone from that background as Sporting Director would be good. Several people who've worked their way through Red Bull have taken up those sorts of roles.
 
Would it be wishful thinking that we'll appoint someone during the international break?

I really hope we don't. Not sure how many people worth having are available at this point in the season and we would probably have to look to someone from the lower leagues, someone out of work, or someone doing really poorly in their current job to get anyone.

Think we white knuckle it and hope for a good appointment on the opening days of the off season.

Yeah exactly. If we are going to go all in on the youth model we should be looking at RB as they are currently probably the best in the business at youth development and selling players for profit.
 
Bored of all the negativity.
What did people think of the suggestions in the original post on this thread?

Cesc- currently assistant at Como. Won 3, drew 1, lost 1 in a five game spell as caretaker. They're currently 4th in Serie B.

van Persie- currently combining first team coaching with being co-head coach of u18/19s at Feyenoord. His first coaching job was under Dick Advocaat. Feyenoord are currently 2nd in the Eredivisie.

Yaya Toure- has had coaching jobs at Olimpik Donetsk, Akhmat Grozny, Standard Liege and with the Saudi national team. Also had a spell as an academy coach at Spurs.

What about these ones

Kenwyne Jones- currently Head Coach of the Trinidad and Tobago women's team.

Henning Berg- has managed Lyn, Lillestrøm, Blackburn, Legia Warsaw, Videoton, Stabæk, Omonia Nicosia, Pafos, and is currently manager of AIK. Overall win percentage of 45.97

Sylvinho- has managed Lyon, Corinthians Paulista, and is currently manager of Albania.

Some of them don't have impressive management CVs but are big names in the game.

None of them are likely to be our next Head Coach but discussing their merits is more interesting than constant squabbling about things that no one knows did or might happen.
Eric Roy 2nd in French leauge1
 
There'll be Mags in the bars again, and over the ground, for the Bruce Springsteen concert.

Keeping the BCB closed would've deprived people of a shift at work I've no doubt they'd appreciate.

Calling people scum, vermin, etc, isn't a good look imo.
I dont think most on here are bothered about what you think, they ****ed up big style over BCB and are hiding all the facts

Well, as you've decided you're the spokesman for the entire Sunderland support I'll just have to accept you've elected yourself spokesman for this forum ...

... let me know when I have your permission to post again, thanks Smug.
