Karanka was in London last week to discuss offer as a number 2 in the PL.

Sunderland still want him but "the club has changed the goal posts".

My source feels it's slipping away from us now. But that bit is just an opinion from him, not from the horse's mouth.

How often do we hear that the club has ‘changed the goalposts’ or things to that effect.

I'd rather have him, but I think it is because of the other names being bandied about and knowing for an absolute fact that Bain the Merciless is about to fuck us over yet again. Most new managers have a few supporters in favour and a few against, you can bet every penny you have that this bastard will unite us all and it will put the Wilkinson and Cotterill appointments in perspective
He's a wanker who needs to be driven from our club

Tell us 3 definite times that it has been officially confirmed we changed the goalposts.

You must be joking?

While contradictory positions are not published in the Times' events page, it is clear as day that Ellis Short has radically changed direction repeatedly.

Appoints O'Neil, then in a clear move which he knew would undermine the manager, employs the son of an acquaintance, who has never worked at a football club, to buy players.

Sacks manager. Employs Di Canio. Sacks him. Employs Poyet, changes the DOF, sacks Poyet, Employs Advocat, does away with DOF, employs BSA, employs Moyes, employ Grayson, sacks Grayson, employs no one.

The goalpost are in a state of permanent flux. The last three managers have all said that the club was saying one thing to then while doing another. Advocat, Poyet, O'Neill and Keane have also all intimated as much, as if we couldn't see the evidence of it ourselves.

The chaos is endemic. It cannot be sorted out until the entire regime has changed.

It's not so much that the goalposts are moving. It's more that we don't seem to have any. Rather some vague, amorphous things up there in the fog. Now you see them now you don't

Any manager willing to work here would be mad or desperate.
