Club have released Stockdale and Adrian Tucker - quite disappointed about Stockdale personally - think he may turn out to be a very good coach - although I guess he won't be Jack Ross' 1st team coach and he will bring in his own staff

I think we've let a good person go there

I'm not going to lose sleep over Stockdale. New owners, new manager, new staff and a new era.

Not too sure about this one but I'm sure they had good reasons for it, presumably because they are bringing in their own man for the job.

 

[Jack TheLad]

Always rated him highly however if he's the collateral to come out of the whole takeover then I'm fine with it.

 

[Dorset]

Looks like a complete clearout and start again with a blank sheet.
I liked Stockdale, but I'm so happy with the way things are going, i.e cutting out all of the rot and making good all that was wrong at the club.

Exciting times ahead....

Heard how highly rated he is but he's been a big part of our coaching staff during a period we've been shocking on the pitch.

He's likely not to blame but he's guilty by association maybe better for both parties that he moves on. Best of luck to him.

Sad to hear this, don't know how much input he's had on the training pitch if it's been a lot, which I doubt then results wise this is the right thing to happen.
I wish him well wherever he ends up.

Regrettable, he was exemplary here with the youth team, and gave us all a lift in that last game by being so positive, showing, like most of us, he had faith in our young players, unlike Coleman. Best of luck to him in the future, our loss could well be someone else's gain.

 

[Teessidemackem]

I don't understand why people are saying we should have kept him, he'll be a big loss because he's a Top coach and highly rated etc etc. How many of you have actually seen or heard him on the training pitch?
I'm not saying he is a bad coach or anything but the way i see it he has been coach and sat on the bench next to various managers during the worst period I've seen supporting Sunderland. Like I said before it's a new era as far as I'm concerned. I'd like to see about 75% of the playes/staff replaced and start again from scratch.

This is very sad, Thanks for playing such a pivotal part in making this season workable by bring through so many players from our youth system.
