Convenient timing and all that following the announcement on Stendel this morning. I'd day he's high on their list of candidates to take over.
Seems like good timing both going the same day. Maybe he did walk expecting to get Sunderland job. Might explain the statement we put out. I’d give the board a tiny bit more sympathy if he had walked rather than was fired but still he has had poor support so wouldn’t blame him
If drawing all our remaining games 1-1 would make us safe from relegation, Jack Ross would be a good hire.
If Stendel wants to stay in the UK and earn a lot - Sunderland are the club. I don’t think any German clubs interested in Stendel could match a Sunderland offer financially. Sunderland would be crazy not to approach him, if they haven’t already.....
Parachute money gone. Reckoning the takeover is off too. A real toxic club it would be a miracle if he achieved there!
If... Sunderland were interested... and if Stendel was also interested... depending on how the court case goes, he might find himself having to manage a match where Joey Barton was in attendance
I’m not sure they are cash strapped though, regardless of the takeover. They had a big clear out, which was needed after watching the Netflix Documentary!
