Stuart Harvey gone


To be honest, it’s probably easiet to go to his page, look up his most recent post (today/this evening by the looks of things) and read it for yourself than take my word for what he says.
 
From my very first day walking through the doors at Sunderland, I knew what a special football club I was joining. It has been a privilege to serve as Head of Player Recruitment at one of the country’s great footballing institutions for the past four and a half years.During that time, it has been an honour to play a part in the journey from League One to the Premier League and to help support the ownership’s model of recruiting and developing young, talented players — a strategy that has underpinned both on-field progress and a successful player trading model. This is a truly unique club, defined by its scale, its passion, and its people, and it’s been great to be part of building something that the supporters can be proud of.I would like to thank the coaches, past and present, for the trust and support they have shown throughout my time here. My thanks also go to Kristjaan, the wider Football Management Team, and more recently Florent, as well as the staff across the Academy of Light, the Stadium of Light, and Black Cat House — it has been an absolute pleasure to work with everyone.To the players and their representatives, thank you for putting your trust in us. The memories of some of the performances, both home and away, and in particular the results in both play-off finals, will stay with me forever.A sincere thank you to Kyril, Maurice, Juan, and all the directors — past and present, executive and non-executive — for the faith they placed in me and for the opportunity to represent such a proud and historic club.Finally, I want to express my gratitude to my recruitment team, both at First Team and Academy level — Matt, Paul, Ian, Alan, Jordan, Ged, and all our part-time staff, locally and regionally — for their passion, commitment, and expertise. Nothing we achieved would have been possible without them.It has been an honour to represent this club, and I will always follow its progress with pride.Ha’way the Lads.Stu

Just about to post that.

If you read it he mentions everyone by name other than Speakman.
I think from that you can assume promises have been made not kept or the two of them fell out and there was only one winner

There's no obvious suggestion he was sacked and as for RLB wanting his own people, that completely goes against how he's been since day one. RLB won't be dictating the role Harvey has just vacated.

One player doesn't provide a huge black mark unless we'd spent tens of millions on them to do nowt.

Who did we get as a “new director of football” is he from the same club as Regis I think he is, ummmm.
