That 91-94 shirt was on sale several months ago was it not? I believe that’s just been a late pick up by whoever’s shared it.

It came out with the track top October time.

They a reseller site, it ain’t a new release.

Yes, that and 89-91 track top remakes were released for founders week. SAFCstore (club shop) had more stock last few weeks medium to 3XL. Only 3XL left now on there. Some other site had them as well, forgotten who.
 
Ok im surprised they are no gone yet as loads left for several to sit next to each other..I suppose lots are put off by midweek games coz of work and transport and i guess there will be a few season ticket holders not turning up because of this.
 
Has anyone heard about this?

Understand Sunderland have parted ways with assistant head coach Luciano Vulcano by mutual consent.

The 37-year-old joined Le Bris’ coaching staff in the summer and was not on the bench for the Burnley win. The club are expected to continue with their existing staff.

Sounds like irreconcilable differences to me, no wish you well in the next role (unless the official statement sheds more light).

According to Google AI

Why did Luciano Vulcano leave?

Luciano Vulcano, the assistant head coach of Sunderland, left the club by mutual consent. However, the exact reason for his departure isn't explicitly stated. Speculations suggest it might be due to personal reasons or potential differences with the club. Some fans and pundits also hinted at it not being a surprise, with one commentator mentioning that this "has been bubbling away in the background for some time".

It's worth noting that Vulcano had a successful stint with Sunderland, contributing to their fourth-place finish in the Premier League. He brought valuable experience from working with top Italian clubs like AC Milan and Al-Nassr. His departure doesn't seem to signal immediate structural changes in the team's staff, according to reports ¹ ².

Nice to see that we finish 4th in the Premier League though - Champions League trips awaiting! <laugh>

I like the 4th place finish thing. Love they way they just make stuff up.

This is what I got from google when I did it. Got different things wrong :)

As of February 2026,
Luciano Vulcano has not left Sunderland AFC. He remains the club's Assistant Head Coach, a position he has held since joining Régis Le Bris’s staff in July 2025.
His appointment was part of a major backroom reshuffle ahead of Sunderland’s return to the Premier League. Vulcano has been credited as a key factor in the team's strong performance during the 2025–26 season, which saw the "Black Cats" reach the top four of the Premier League table by late 2025.
