If this is true, by the way, there is no way on God's earth this is a Donald appointment.

What will his role be? Above rodwell?

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

He's meant to be very highly regarded with regards to youth development and has a similar ethos to Dortmund apparently.

The Dortmund model. So it is a Methven appointment!

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

What will his role be? Above rodwell?

That's what has been sketched out to papers, yes.

This guy sits above the manager (football) and the chief executive (operations), with managerial power over both.

 

[Upthere]

Sorry, have I misunderstood or is this lad already with us and is interviewing?

Yeah that’s it.

 

[AC Mack]

Anyone mentioned football manager yet?

 

[Scootsie]

Yeah that’s it.

Any crack about managers yet?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

What will his role be? Above rodwell?

God knows. Stuff's coming out, but slowly. I think we'll need to see the full picture to judge; there have been hints of both a SpD and a TD.

Like I said earlier this week, this needs to be got over the line asap to put all this garbage to bed. When will people cotton on that Donald has zero interest in running the club, and just wants his second payday down the line?

i dont think that was ever in doubt, however with all the shit that has gone on here, takeover fakeover or makeover no one could be exactly sure so I dont think its 100% fair to question anyone who does not believe any of it

Scootsie laddddddddddddddddddddd. Keeping the duck flag flying high.

 

[Thatheaderman]

Hope Monk didn't get on too well with Speakman and Dodds

 

[Scootsie]

Scootsie laddddddddddddddddddddd. Keeping the duck flag flying high.

Duck Squad 2.0 Plernky son.

 

[dj_hans]

Just had a quick feeling of dread re alleged birmingham appointments. Could it mean that we are lining up that manager who got sacked from Birmingham before Monk?

Well you took ya time to be fair.

 

[Flash Gordon]

No-one knows what the remit of a technical director is at our club. No-one knows who this bloke is or how his credentials and experience match up to that role. So many people judging without having the first clue.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Well you took ya time to be fair.

I've known that since Rodwell came in.

Before weekend but Cowley really impressed in the interview

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Before weekend but Cowley really impressed in the interview

So he's happy to be a head coach then?

 

[Scootsie]

Before weekend but Cowley really impressed in the interview

Not surprised really because he speaks well.

Didn’t think he would want to work under a DoF though.

 

[Steeeeed]

It's just unfathomable to think that someone like Cowley would not join Sunderland because he doesn't want to work with a DoF or SpD. It's Sunderland FFS.
