not picking holes just confused by this. Why would Speakman delay announcing it just to look in charge of the process? That doesn’t make much sense to me? There has to be another issue behind the delay (which is hopefully easily resolved)
Understand lot of people been told its done, seen a few more expecting an announcement today before the match so fingers crossed!
Luke Edwards has come out and said its close and someone over the road reckons it'll be announced tea time tonight
Maybe but I don't have all the details though. Feel free to pick holes mate. Not of us are th decision makers here, just get bits. Speakman is a bit like that though ya know, by the book and modern process etc.
yeh absolutely. And wasn’t doubting your info - just trying to work out what the missing link is. Something hasn’t added up. I hope whatever it is is relatively minor and resolved, but has just caused this slight delay.
Fwiw and I get the hesitancy around listening to the likes of Edwards and Hope - but Luke Edwards has pretty much consistently been saying exactly what prehab is saying. So I do think he’s reporting legit stuff here. Hopefully it’s all pretty much done and whatever issue is causing a delay in signature and announcement is purely that, rather than a major hurdle.
Aye but tbf Edwards has been saying the stuff you've said so maybe he's actually being useful for once haha
the poster of the road is a bullshitter as well, so taking that one with a pinch of salt. It has to be done soon though, we’re just wasting time and games.
Character building stuff this. Been a rough time supporting Sunderland recently. Let's hope for a speedy resolution so we can all breathe again.
I get the feeling any delay is Roy sorting the coaching staff out...maybe we'd get Micah after all?...
