If this happened then it says he wasn’t interested in us in the first place so he can go do one for me. I want someone who is 100% focused on my club and not with one eye elsewhere. Plenty of good coaches out there who would come and give it their all
It’s probably not what has happened but would explain events. All guessing really as no hard facts.

Or you could argue the problem is that the other side are absolutely desperate to protect the owner and they’ll pretend we were never interested in anyone bar whoever we actually bring in and brush it all off as rumours.

To be fair there are plenty attacking their own club using nothing but rumours ...

... I naturally hope for the best with everything in my life, football club included.

Whatever the case I don't think the owner needs protection from anyone tbh.
 
Sought after by top flight clubs with European competition next season. I think fluffed it is a harsh interpretation of missing out in those circumstances.

They’re playing in the Mickey Mouse European trophy yeah, that’ll be a draw for him.. But managing in Ligue 1 for yet another season with a team who were in Ligue 2 up until about 3-4 years ago and have had one decent season in the last 15 or so years.
 
If Still has chosen a club that’s playing in a European competition next season that’s hardly fluffing it. Some reports have suggested we’ve got a number of targets, perhaps WS hasn’t been on the radar for a while.
If we are to assume still doesn’t come, it’s not Maric, svensson or wicky who do people want?

edit I didn’t mean to quote your post to ask this, apologies

It's just frustration, from the moment Mowbray was sacked to now has been one of the most frustrating spells that I can remember supporting the club. Especially since we had a massive chance to build on the season before.

It's all just rumours at this stage fuelled by social media and forums. The silence from the club is making things imo worse but it's gone on way too long for any comments to make a difference now. Whoever is appointed I will get behind, thats for sure (other than 1 or 2 names who would be nowhere near the club anyway)

Versus a club who were in league one until a couple of years ago, don’t have European football and haven’t really had a decent season since 2014 and arguably longer.
 
It’s a discussion, if we can’t talk based on speculation we might as well not bother posting anything at all because pretty much every comment on this thread is based on speculation.

That's not what I'm saying.

If 'looking like we've ballsed it up' is just your speculation that's fine ...

... the only fact is that Sunderland are a Championship club looking for a suitable manager.

There are plenty of clubs looking for a manager tbh.
