Any idea why Bob? He moving onto bigger things or have we outgrown him? Surprised we dont have a place for him as the background staff need to be larger if were to continue to grow
Picking up Clarke, Roberts and Hume in league one........
Says it all really about the job he did, have a horrible feeling he may move up the road.

What do you think of KLD, Speakman, RLB, etc these days Bob ...
... I'm quite impressed tbh.
That's superb from him. Wish the fella all the best and hope he gets a good job going forward. Big thank you from me to him.
Well said mate.
It's quite sad that, like when Dodds left, some people become vindictive and start wishing they fail ...
... I'd really like to think we're better than that tbh.

"From my very first day walking through the doors at Sunderland, I knew what a special football club I was joining. It has been a privilege to serve as Head of Player Recruitment at one of the country’s great footballing institutions for the past four and a half years. During that time, it has been an honour to play a part in the journey from League One to the Premier League and to help support the ownership’s model of recruiting and developing young, talented players — a strategy that has underpinned both on-field progress and a successful player trading model. This is a truly unique club, defined by its scale, its passion, and its people, and it’s been great to be part of building something that the supporters can be proud of.
I would like to thank the coaches, past and present, for the trust and support they have shown throughout my time here. My thanks also go to Kristjaan, the wider Football Management Team, and more recently Florent, as well as the staff across the Academy of Light, the Stadium of Light, and Black Cat House — it has been an absolute pleasure to work with everyone. To the players and their representatives, thank you for putting your trust in us. The memories of some of the performances, both home and away, and in particular the results in both play-off finals, will stay with me forever. A sincere thank you to Kyril, Maurice, Juan, and all the directors — past and present, executive and non-executive — for the faith they placed in me and for the opportunity to represent such a proud and historic club.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude to my recruitment team, both at First Team and Academy level — Matt, Paul, Ian, Alan, Jordan, Ged, and all our part-time staff, locally and regionally — for their passion, commitment, and expertise. Nothing we achieved would have been possible without them. It has been an honour to represent this club, and I will always follow its progress with pride.
Ha’way the Lads. Stu"

Seems like a strange time for him to leave. Hope all is well.
Both surprised and sad about this news. Our very best wishes go with him. Whoever fills his role has a hard act to follow.
All the best to him. From where we were to where we are he has done an excellent job.
Tremendous job that he has done. Great to see that he's left on such good terms. Hope he gets a cracking job moving forward.
Looking forward to seeing who he's replaced with.

Done a fabulous job. Lovely message when leaving. Thanks for all your efforts in taking us to where we are now.
Very good that. Hope he goes on to great things.
RLB, I was told by Eric he was very good, BSA and Souy both said SH was top draw.
Now as far as KLD is concerned he has done fine used our promotion money and our sales money well.
So I can't knock him,
As far as K S is concerned well I ain't got my guest card back so, nothing has changed but that's personal between me and him.
If Eric said he's very good....he's very good!
It's obvious to us that SH is top drawer....KLD can't have many complaints.
KS will no doubt be concerned if your relationship with him has moved,but i'm sure he'll get over it.

One of the group who were instrumental in getting us from League 1 to the top half of the Premier league. In the black and with well over £200 worth million of players on the books. Thanks very much Stu!
Spoke to him today, the press are still at his house.
I don't think he will jack in yet.
They are speaking to another coach today.
