If it’s true we’ve had offers on the table for both Maric and still then we can’t say we’ve not been ambitious I guess, especially given the sources that say we’ve offered also say both accepted at one point, just don’t know where we go from here if these 2 are off the table, Rosenior is the best of the rest, unless there’s a name not been mentioned yet? Waffling now like but we’ll soon see atleast!
I'm not sure if Still will go to Lens, I really believe they're not chucking all their eggs in one basket ... ... it's a big season for them and I'm not sure Still is the best they can attract.
If you were Maric, given his age and non-traditional route into coaching, you'd be better off taking a job around the Bayern first team rather than turning up to the bin fire of Sunderland before being sacked in February. FWIW, the Nixon story on Robinson is full of caveats that he's someone they've considered. Doesn't seem like what we're looking for. I'll be honest and say I don't know much about him because if you're going to watch non-English football and don't have ties to it, why the hell would you pick the SPL?
No, Wilson is just reporting reports that is already common knowledge. look at the article and all he says is basically “may” and “could”. It’s a nothing article from someone who gets paid to basically look at news now all day.
The only mentions are in the media who've been pretty vague tbh. I'll only judge the club after an appointment, some seem desperate to get their digs in before they lose that chance.
There's no credible link at all to Svensson. He wasn't in the reckoning at all imo. Also, if that's the kind of list we're working through, I'm confident that 7th or 8th choice will still be an exciting appoint.
My gut feeling is if we go for him sincerely he would come. He comes across as a very smart man and to be honest if he did fail at Sunderland I don’t think it would do him that much harm given what has happened this season.
True, we are still in talks with Still so its def not off the table If hes trying to play us we have to give him a deadline to sign by (id be saying tomorrow night), and if he doesnt we move on
Not always, as someone else pointed out, they finihed 5th and two plaes above Aberdeen even though they had less points.
Fail in a head coach role and he can still waltz back into any number of good clubs’ coaching set ups with his reputation. Opportunities like being a head coach at a club like ours aren’t going to come around too often for him though.
It does tho, its just the way league works in Scotland after the split aberdeen would have been playing teams like livingston n st Johnstone while st mirren were playing rangers n celtic an extra time
Did anyone mention they beat Aberdeen to get there, won more games than them over the season and it was only one point difference. Just checked and the won 3-0 at Aberdeen, quite an achievement imo.
Don't worry be happy its from the Scottish sun absolute rag of a paper see it’s an exclusive which means they’ve probably just made it up
ok fair play if that's the case but it still doesn't change the point they were still a poor team when I saw them.
If he isn't announced at Lens tomorrow I'd say they're looking at a a variety of managers ... ... I just can't see a club, that big, thinking Still is the only man for the job.
He got plenty of clicks and attention though and added more Sunderland faces to the dartboard from the Uber fans.
I'm hoping we've already moved on and made our move for Maric. I prefer Maric of the two, but that's because I love all the nerdy tactical and stats stuff. He's clearly a bigger gamble than Still in terms of experience and Still is the clubs number 1 target, so in that sense it would be good if Still happens. But in the back of my head now, I'd be expecting him to be at odds with the club at every transfer window or when any Premier League job comes up and it would all be played out in the media.
Yeah that’s what I mean, the links are coming from north of the border which makes me think his agent is touting him about
