You also have Ten Hag who was Bayern B team head coach while Pep was there, and Ange who has coached within the 'City Group'.I look on Arteta as his own man now, but I know what you mean. Few Klopp assistants now ploughing their own furrow too.

Hipster appointments. I like that phrase.
Unfortunately Will Still kinda feels like one to me. But I'm excited by it nonetheless![]()
He is like. But I've been accused of being a football hipster before so I'll happily say I'm happy with him.It 100% is one. But after Beale, Mowbray, Neil and the shower of dull dry shot that came before them it feels different at least.
You do seem very confident (and have been for a while). Fair play!just an opinion depending if the club want it in the public before an announcement, i could see if breaking in the press by wednesday
…Speakman will buy whatever youngster he thinks we can make a few quid profit from in the future, regardless of their position/what we actually need in the squad.Agreed. If he prefers to play 3 at the back say, with wingbacks then what's the point in Speakman buying wingers.
I’m starting to get a strange feeling it will be Frank Lampard
2-2Serious question...Do you recall why Sunderland supporters have a loathing of Coventry City and Jimmy Hill?
Fishpastes post is getting quote tweeted by people who seem very confident it’s happening now, word is getting around….
to be fair i've just seen one of what the folk podcast lads retweet it and im sure the seem pretty alrightprobably all reading it on here though rather than hearing it from other sources
If the club break it without any press getting a sniff it’ll be incredibleprobably all reading it on here though rather than hearing it from other sources

Aye just seen Brad off the podcast retweeted Captainfishpastes “looking at other options” with the eyes emoji https://x.com/bradleydsharp11/status/1795066473137787213?s=46&t=FgnCLl4rQYbvpjBe_u6nPQto be fair i've just seen one of what the folk podcast lads retweet it and im sure the seem pretty alright
Aye. Football fans are extremely myopic and presume that whatever is happening is definitely to their detriment.
I agree about the young players thing and Mowbray, not so much the language thing.
Generally I think English or Spanish are the predominant languages in football. A high percentage of young players learn English, certainly on the continent. They usually have more than enough to understand. I think Rusyn was highlighted and became a bit of a stick to beat Mowbray with. Mowbray is an excellent training ground coach who communicates really effectively and I am sure he was mindful of the foreign lads when communicating. In addition a lot of clubs now partner with educational organisations via their academy setups. This includes English language courses. Players who need it can get short booster courses in English. It is a bit like overseas students coming to the UK, they can access English language courses if they need it to build the everyday languagd skills and boost their confidence.
Given our current position, what would really sicken me would be the appointment of another failed manager from the manager merry go round. People actually wanting the like of Cooper and Heckingbottom need to bear in mind that if we were to get promoted, we’d need to start looking for another manager straight away as whilst those names are decent Championship managers, they’ve proven themselves to out of their depth in the Premiership.I refuse to get excited about any of our so called head coach targets.
We used to attract actual proven managers, no matter what league we were in.
Now everyone is excited over managers that have either zero games experience or one season. Its total bonkers.
