    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Yes I was told yesterday both he / Carsley didn't apply, I'd suggest a bit of agent sorcery.

    Carsley wasn't, neither was RVN.

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Nov

    Who knows what King is thinking at this point. He is the only name I have heard though, yes. Also, players were told no immediate social media posts, wasn't through choice.

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Nov

    I'd heard Lampard, after the QPR match, was told the same yesterday. Read that we'd approached for Wycombe manager, but not heard that personally. My money would be on King going after a 'name'. Seems to be the type to want people talking about us.

    I was watching Sheaf to see how he would respond, had to be told by Kitching to go and get MR.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Nothing new from me. I think Matty James would be a sensible addition, until we can get what we want. Eccles and others would benefit massively from his experience / leadership.

    Nothing cryptic in it. Just agreed with the post 🙂

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Agreed. You'd like to think as we continue to grow, that it's something that will be integrated at a faster pace.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    This is the question, isn't it. Can anything be done to restructure. I've no idea on that side of things, but it's a question you ask yourself. However, fully agreed with how the long term finances are being protected. As much as some people don't like it, we are making some smart moves...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Hull were interested all summer, it was a matter of waiting for them to make their move. There were 2 other teams (ironically one being Norwich). I believe after the Oxford game and the day following, there were words exchanged, probably resulting in the fast pace of the move.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Yeah, I guess that ties in with what I was told today. Wages seemingly the general problem. Or more so, the agents.

    That's MR for you. Do you honestly believe that to be the case? There was a lot going on yesterday.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Agreed, we don't want players on long contracts who are not necessarily what we were looking for, having to make them fit just because we needed to fill a gap. I did ask the question of whether we may look at any free agents, no definitive answer but not scoffed at. I think it's more a case of...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Don't get me wrong, I have my opinions (on today especially). I just don't see the point in breeding negativity. There's a lot to be worked on. Let's hope for once, the break favours us.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    I wish I could say more, but I respect the club want to move quietly. If people knew the type of players we are going for, it would probably change a lot of views on the matter. We're almost 2 years into a 5 year plan (probably a provocative statement today), it's going to take time to get the...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    I can't, no. They're targets that will be carried to the next window. One came very close, wage structure proving difficult, I believe it fell through quite late on. I didn't know anything about the RB we had a bid rejected for. Also there was a loanee who picked up an injury and remained with...
