Speakman gone


The Wise Men Say on this today is an absolute disgrace. The worst side of our fanbase on show.
Nivver had owt to do with it tbh. After the vitriol feller and the monkey head T-shirts I’ve kept away from that element of our fan base. But from what I’ve heard I can imagine
We won’t know till the summer really. People saying gilfy was in charge of all our summer business so who knows as that was a decent window. I thought two heads maybe better than one and speakman is obviously way better placed for the English games for instance. Thought he might have stayed and took care of that side including signing English talent for the aol etc. maybe that was the role he was offered and decided against it. Reading between the lines is always a dodgy thing to do but that statement from the club especially the hit about the board decided doesn’t scream it was the plan all along for him to go and the timing is again strange. We’ve done the strange timing thing a few times under kld so it’s not a surprise just something feels like this wasn’t the plan all a long type thing. We maybe wrong I doubt we will ever know either way but that’s football.
My feeling on it anarl tbh.

Kristjaan Speakman has done so much behind the scenes. At the helm for 6 years, identifying and bringing in the players who helped lift us back into the Premier League after years in the dark. Taking us away from the dark period into the glory days!

In the sixth minute of the next home game, we should show our appreciation with a round of applause, and his picture should appear on the screen with the caption:

“With thanks from all at Sunderland AFC fans.”

Thoughts ?
Do we do it for all the ex-players too? Would take all game

He hasn't popped his clogs yet marra, most likely just moving onto pastures new.
