KLD has a lot to think about . . .

Honestly don’t just think it’s a simple sack LJ or keep LJ. Should he choose the former I think he’d have to also get rid of KS . . . A big(ger) name manager won’t come and work with the same DoF, maybe no DoF at all. The likes of Wilder, Keane, Big Sam wouldn’t come under those circumstances. They might not come at all but this is a HUGE moment in the future few months (possibly seasons) of our club.

First real test for the owners imo

they clearly have an idea of how they want the club and of course football side to develop and grow…..current manager isn’t doing it and more worryingly not showing any signs of having any idea how to turn it round.

stick or twist the choice is yours

Posted during the week this is the first big decision KLD has to make… he’s got the majority right so far and put in place some fantastic foundations for the future.

You would hope him and Speakman have a shortlist of ready made replacements for the head coach should we find ourselves in exactly this position

There's no way he'd get rid of speakman. The whole point of this system is that we can get rid of a head coach if they underperform without ripping everything up. You're right that we wouldn't get a big name manager, but we wouldn't be looking for one, we'd be looking for a coach, possibly one we've never heard of but who can better organise and motivate the players we've got here and the ones speakman will bring in during future windows. Doubt he'll go yet but Johnson is in trouble, Speakman will get another few windows regardless imo

If you were working at the club within the stucture, would you look at coaches from Europe or another British name ?

I'd have to have a much better knowledge of coaches than I do to be fair! I wouldn't get someone unknown to those in the club, but if they know foreign coaches who might be able to work with this bunch I'd definitely consider them
 
johnson has a lot to think about , im a fan but this tactic of playing from the back is mental , we've stopped the counter attack ,no urgency in our play , put himself under real pressure
 
There’s no way Speakman should or will go, thankfully. He’s done a decent enough job in the one window he’s had with us.

I don’t buy “no one will want to work with a DoF” or words to that effect, either. We’re a massive name still, there’s evidently a better setup under KLD now and imagine being the bloke to get Sunderland back into the Championship let alone up the top of that league.

I’d be willing to let Speakman have a go at picking a manager to work with.
