Liam Rosenior

[MarcoG]

Bit disappointed to be honest, would have been a good appointment I reckon. Oh well.

 

[Safc1987]

At this rate I'm expecting Dodds to turn the job down...

 

[Binxy]

That's all you had to say. Your opinion is null and void as soon as you mention him performing bad against teams he hasn't played against. Been caught in a lie and now you're rattled

Wee's this f***ing wanksplat?

Nobody wants to work with dour dodds. Major uncertainty in the safc marketplace. It's a joke now.

QPR will have us by the balls. They know we are desperate and will want a significant chunk of money.

Not sure it would be QPR have us by the balls I would imagine there would be a clause in the contract stating how much any club would need to pay for him to leave. We must decide whether to pay it or not.

Seems odd we would pressure him to make a decision if he was our preferred candidate, only to move further down the list to a manager who we would need to pay compensation for and probably spend time agreeing how much.

Especially considering he doesn’t seem to be the first manager to turn us down

 

[Gilgil]

Wonder how much bookies have made on the manager market, non of the horses on the start line and folk still laying

Gareth Ainsworth here we come!

Mackem Caddie believes Rosenior was never in the running. He says it's between Lampard, John Terry and Neil Warnock.

Goodness me, he's full of shite.

We laugh, but I honestly think he would.

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

I said when we were negotiating with Still…..if it’s money/budget related that is a conversation. If it’s something to do with existing staff, then that’s probably immovable.

Getting the impression we are stuck in a situation where no one wants to work with the current set up, but they’re not budging.

Speakman himself hinted very much himself at it being staff and any candidate needing ‘synergy’ in the RAWA meeting after Beale was appointed.

It was probably why we ended up with Beale - with Beale saying ‘aligned’ or a derivative of about hundred times in the announcement spin - and it’s probably why we are stuck in the same sort of position now. Effectively just trying to find someone who will come opposed to who we want.

 

[oddbod]

He 100% would. Doesn't have the stones

Nope he has ego and no self awareness of course he would accept the job!The only group he could lead is lemmings off a cliff!

 

[SebastienELLISbexter]

I hope the panic that he must be feeling makes him spend some money. It's the only hope I have left. Sheer panic and spend a lot more money than originally planned. But let's be honest It's a total shambles. From sacking Mowbray, appointing a nobody and then sacking him and appointing literally nobody.

What on earth are they doing at our club? Rosenior (3rd or 4th choice?) has now decline the role too ... it's becoming embarrassing but worrying in all honesty.

The wider implications of our best young talent potentially leaving due to the uncertainty and not knowing who the head coach is likely to be is one not worth thinking about either.

 

[L18SFC]

I think we will end up happy with the manager who signs up. I don’t have a problem with any of KLD or Speakman yet. If you look at the value of our current squad. We are obviously heading in the correct directions

Staggering

Suppose it depends how this one ended.

Did Rosenior go “no, I don’t want to work at Sunderland”?

Or did he ask for more time (for a Burnley interview) and we went “We don’t have time. Off you fuck, Liam.”?

 

[oddbod]

Exactly what I said earlier.

Thats leaked spin from the club mate don't believe a word of it!

 

[SingaporeSteve]

I'm really struggling over the KLD "Imminent" statement last week. Surely he is not stupid enough to release such a statement unless its 99.9% done. He surely would not have released that and only then invited Rosenior in for a second interview. It just makes no sense. There has to be someone else in the frame that the press haven't picked up on. It would be a PR disaster to make a "learned from mistakes of the past" comment and then appoint another duff manager.

I suspect a lot of what we are being fed is agents wanting to hock their assets in the press, using us as leverage for speeding up an appointment or negotiating a fatter offer.

I suspect KLD could be as thick as mince, but surely his advisers would not be.

Its just bloody bizarre.

That would have been my response to him also.
