Is the writing on the wall re. the academy?

I suspect so, sadly.

Don’t worry though, the usual band of arse lickers will be along shortly to say that getting rid of the academy is actually a fantastic decision and shows how well Donald is running the club.

 

[Raich Carter]

To stand out as a leading candidate of failure in the cesspit that is Sunderland at the moment is quite impressive.

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Errrrr, I hope this is just a one off and not just a pre-cursor to an academy related announcement...

 

[Moneyball]

While this is undoubtedly a good thing, the strength and quality of his successor will be crucial.

Strangely enough I’m not confident.

 

[iansun]

excellent. the man was a complete bluffer.

Aye but will the academy be gone next

Yeah, I'm not going to pop the champagne until I know who/what structure is replacing him. Same as always with us, the problem isn't the person let go it's that we somehow always manage to replace them with worse

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

My confidence is 6 feet under. I think they may scrap it all together

 

[Fi Lo Beddow]

Is Kevin Ball still on the club's books? Could he be moved across to try and sort things out.

 

[Mackem Tommy]

I can't get my head around the idea that having a self-sustaining (assuming it is) talent pool could be deemed bad business by anybody.

 

[Ashley In!!]

Was he the one they claimed saved the club? I lose track.

 

[tooliohelmet]

Hope he updates his Linkedin page

Whhhaaaaaaat! why would you not be confident in the current regime really nailing the appointment

[Jonty08]

He had a good mentor

Furloughed.

 

[kildaremackem]

More savings.

he will have been cheap and will have to be replaced..doubt they will fin cheaper..or indeed crapper.

 

[Deleted member 31333]

Good riddance. Wanker

 

[Kenna]

Bye bye academy then.

I would say these owners should be embarrassed at the way they’ve run things but in their minds I suspect they don’t actually believe they’ve done badly.

Tories tend to be like that.

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Good. Absolute tumour that lad.

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

i dnt and ont wok fo the club you inestimabel cretin.

Imagine pretending to type like this

 

[The Cabbage]

Correct. The bloke wasn't allowed to do the job he was employed to do. Pissing in a gale force wind from day one.

Are you able to expand on that pal?

 

[Mary Hinge]

Gone

Nee Juan left to Cerch....
