Where's the 'literal facts' that i 'freaked people out' on here and RTG?
You said “Roker Report are retweeting all of their things about Lee Johnson”. Actually, they retweeted ALL of their articles on everything from the past 24 which included ONE about Lee Johnson. Don’t get mad at me because you can’t read.

Sunderland have posted their injury update about tomorrow squad with zero mention of Taylor or who’s in charge, suggesting they could be announcing something tonight
 
Only reason I'd want Johnson is because I got him at 26/1. I'd prefer Pearson/Gus/Cowley/Cook over him. Reminds me of the Parkinson appointment all over again, when we were linked with loads of better managers then decided to appoint the one who the fans wanted least.
 
I'm about to start radiation treatment, basically got to sit in a lead lined room for 3 days. I'm hoping I still get phone signal, would be a massive pisser if I miss everything (good or bad) having done nowt but refresh this bloody thread and it's smb counterpart for ****ing months!
Hope everything goes well GG.

Sorry if it’s been posted already, and I know it’s from a few years ago, but this article about Gourvennec is extremely interesting. If he is in the running, this makes him sound very positive and perhaps fits the mould a lot more as a head coach than the other names mentioned. I would suggest you all give it a read.

Excellent piece that. Good pedigree, not afraid to start at the bottom, and considered by Marseille before they went for Bielsa. Could be a good shout.

This. I'd take all four of the above over Johnson tbh.

Look at it logically ffs.

They retweeted initially 3 articles in quick succession, the first being 'needing a touch of magic by making a 'bold statement' about appointing a manager, the second being 'readers corner, RR Alan Smith giving his views on the potential new manager', and thirdly, a specific one about Lee Johnson.

You now have people on the SMB stating it's Johnson and betting significantly closing in on suggesting its him. Local media, RR and Journos have now tweeted indicating something is very close or announcement is due.

It's not my fault you can't clearly see what's going on infront of you, I do however hope i have got the complete wrong end of the stick and it isn't Johnson.

They are either giving a massive hint its Johnson, or double bluffing the whole thing and its someone left field.
