Nobody with any real experience of British football will want to work in this set up.
But is KS’s setup all that different to other clubs (not all obv.)? Plenty have a head coach/DoF model. What specifically is so **** about our model that has seen 2 coaches walk and another 4(?) turn us down?
 
Stop Crying Frank Lampard!!


Can hear this being sung by large sections of away fans this season, should we appoint him
I know a lot see me as defending anything but I can defo see a good few positives from his appointment. Also think he could do a great job here. I think the young squad would really look up to him too

So what's the latest rumours on here then from "itk" who's coming in

I don't have a latest rumour, I've been saying for over a week that Cifuentes is wanted and wants the job.

I remember when many Sunderland supporters wanted Ainsworth here ffs.

He was an absolute disaster at a club that regarded him as a hero and gave him the warmest welcome and biggest 'honeymoon period'.

Cifuentes rescued a demoralised group of players and energised the support in a matter of weeks ...

... I rest my case.

Surely not… <laugh> Who in their right mind would want that mess anywhere near SAFC?

You aren’t the only one banging this drum to be fair, first time I’ve seen anyone say he is also keen though so that fills me with hope/optimism, I’m not going to go and do full research on him after I’ve set myself up for a fall with still, svensson, Jansen and Rosenior though :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
Lots will disagree but Stewart Donald loves the club still, and he failed because he did not have the financial backing needed.
KLD has the right intentions, building a solid base, but will not use his own money to fund the transfer kitty we need.
He holds to much faith in KS, who needs to move on.
Our club is to big a job for KS if he admits it or not.

Stewart Donald suggested that Sunderland fans kidnapped his daughter. There's nothing more to say about the whopper.

Don't mate, it's pointless.

All these arguments about what style someone plays in France or Germany is irrelevant.

This is the English Championship, with a certain squad of players against certain opposition ...

... any coach, worth a job here, needs to be able to look at all of that and decide how we'll play.

All this talk about what style someone will bring is pure 'football manager' imo.

I think everyone of us would love it, I just cannot see why Cifuentes himself would go for it. It's a sidewards move.
