    I still remain amazed, those who still think this is done like Championship Manager, and that there aren't multiple moving parts to sort before an announcement 
    Agreed. Newcastle would have known they were going to sack Bruce, but it still took them 3 days after their last game to do it. 
    I get the feeling Bruce was kept in place, so the glory on Sunday went to the Directors box, instead of say Steven Gerrard or whoever is going to rewarded massively for taking that on

    Sandgaard, Maloney, Roddy and Gallen will be talking to the players today at Sparrows lane and Nigel Adkins will already know his fate. 

    I would expect a decision later in the day.

    Probably interim manager in JJ will take over with the remit of getting us clear of the bottom 4. As Sunderland will be the nap home in League 1 the pressure won't be to get a result other than to give a cohesive performance and show a collective fighting spirit. 

    In life and football you can have dreams but you have to deal with the here and now.

    And the here and now tells us we are in a relegation spot on merit (or lack of Merit)
    My guess is we will get an announcement later, but it’s just my guess.
    Surely they would have sacked him this morning if it really was happening?
    Not that I have any inside info, but my guess is that if you decide the time has come to split with your manager, as owner you want to avoid paying the contract in full. 

    If you are the manager being called into the office, you will want to get your contract paid out in full as you wont know when/if you are going to get another.

    Hence negotiations could be ongoing in order to make the 'mutual consent' announcement.

    I’ve just gone past The Valley on the train













    Nothing to report I’m afraid 
    There was a train running on SouthEastern?
    Jesus H Christ!  How long had you been on it?  Where was it supposed to be?  Do you know where it's actually going?
    No, he doesn't know where it's going.

    But's he did get the number of the engine.


    Not got the number yet, but I’m on a Class 465 Networker - that much I do know !!!
    Pwopa Charlton!  :smile:


  • Patience people. We need to make sure Wilder (& his backroom team) will definitely sign for us this time before we move on the current mob.

    Time to get out the it’s happening gifs?
    I can’t imagine a more thankless task than being the ‘CAFC Fan Advisor’, fair play to anyone who puts their hand up to do it. 
    Clearly an 'ego driven' role. Who would want to do it ? 
    Is that really necessary?
    Digs at fans who are doing advisory roles for the club they support and follow? all because you're pissed off about results at the moment? 

    Agree. I'll take it back. It's not a job I would want to do in a million years. However, if people think they're cut out for it more power to their elbow. My inital Comment was cun*ish

  • I am not sure the settlement is paid straight away.  I know of someone who was sacked as manager of a league one club last season and they continued to pay his salary and rent for his house for an agreed period of time which was shorter than the remainder of his contract.

    Yeah, they are paid for a certain time or until they get another job.

    David Moyes was still being paid by Manchester United up until 2019 - 5 years after he was sacked.

    Dunno - Might have the sentimentality to go back to Scunthorpe or Tranmere where it all began.

    Just seen Adkins walking south bound along the M27

    He's got so much time on his hands now he's decided to walk home!

    He absolutely will if he wants to.

    There are managers with far worse records who do.

    Got a text from a friend who said Adkins apparently didn't take training this morning. 
    Can anyone half in the know do any digging?
    Based on every performance this season, I’d say he’s not been involved in training in any session. He just gets the players to walk aimlessly around the training ground talking to eachother.

    I actually think his morning walk lasts for as long as the Twitter video he records. I bet he hates walking really.
