Sunderland could replace Regis Le Bris

That doesn't mean the club aren't looking at possible replacements

From our transfer dealings and indeed managerial appointments you can see the club are looking at possible replacements for anyone and everyone and indeed have lists of people ranked in order of preference for them.

Just one example is the speed at which we made bid after bid until we landed a goalkeeper (who was the third person approached) in the close season is a great example of this.

This scouting, monitoring and prioritising of people for all key positions is a very different thing to what Alex Crook said - which was that his position next season was dependent upon finishing in a European position.

That has been shown to be a "crock of shit".

I agree we are doing lists it’s just good business to have a list of players and managers based on league positions. That list is changing all the time both player targets and managers based targets.

...Bailey thinks otherwise...he's either stupid or been told something no other journo has.

I'm no conspiracy theorist but dear God...

A mag journalist and a smoggie post this the same day?

Meanwhile the local paper journalist, the North East sky football journalist and Romano all unequivocally state it's "bullshit".

My moneys on "stupid".
 
So?

We're about to sack him for not being good enough?

But Chelsea have considered approaching us because of the job he's done with us?

And we're going to replace him with Iriola?

Reported by a mag and a mutant?

And rubbished by journalists.

Dear God I dispair at this time of year...

Said this on another thread yesterday, but basically I can’t believe how many people take the words that come out of Alex Crooks mouth as gospel. Not only here but in the general football world. This is a bloke who only last year said that Harry Kane isn’t England’s best striker.

The bloke knows the sum total of fuck all, his “sources” aren’t reliable and are mostly made up shite from X. Until Sky Sports or BBC report it, then it’s false.

The club have been air-tight when it comes to backroom changes, so ask yourself, why the fuck would Alex Crook of all people get first licks on this supposed development? What a load of bollocks man.

Who is Alex crooks?
 
I’m choosing to believe this is all way off the mark and somebody(s) stirring the pot because it would be insanity of the highest order. I’d be dead against if we were just set for survival and not much more, never mind the season we’ve had and what else he’s done so far while here.
 
If I had to guess: some agent has tried to unsettle Le Bris with the intention of selling him to Chelsea. Unsurprisingly that hairbrained idea hasn't worked.
