Too soon for Henderson to come back?


We have too many young lads from the north east for him to be allowed back. He would be in their ears saying play well and you can get a move to a better club. Just like Steve Bruce was. He is really the last person we want at our club. We are at a critical point and we need to be able to hang on to these young north east lads. It’s the only way we can progress. History shows selling them is not the answer, because we always replace them with worse
:lol: :lol:

Play well and you can get a good move is exactly what our strategy demands of these younguns. And if they play well, staying here becomes a good move itself.
 
Daft lad made a mistake, was tempted by more money than any of us could imagine even though he didn’t need it, thought he’d do two years there then he could accept getting paid bugger all back at Sunderland to finish his career in style.

Play it down as if didn't happen, Roger.
 
He needs to know football, not too much else.

He'd need it to have an ability to motivate players of different standards and personalities, then there's all the fitness metrics and modern data analysis. A lot more to modern coaching than just being able to kick a ball.

That'll be down to the data analysts, no? I've no idea what he'd like but I wouldn't have thought motivating players would be too much of a problem for him.
 
This. Sadly he's taken their money, knowing full well they only targeted him due to his profile. I wouldn't be surprised to see our ownership take him but it sends the wrong signal imo
Not sure what signing on fee he may have had but in terms of wages he wasn't there long enough to get much at all.
