I’d be very surprised if McCann hasn’t been contacted by Sunderland already. No other candidate. Unless they get Bruce back.
Grant arguably could land a club and job bigger than the one he had with us... If he's appointed, summer window will be interesting... (Smallwood, Eaves, Wilks...)
Be a good appt for both of them, and a route out of the club for a couple of ours who may soon be surplus to requirements
Hope Grant gets it. A massive job for him, but I'm pretty certain he'd take them up. Would be really intriguing to see how he does with money and who follows him
Aren’t they third? Just checked but second-place Wigan have four games in hand over Sunderland anyway.
The League 1 table is quite surprising. Wigan seem to have gotten their act together. Rotherham seem to be having a carbon-copy season to us last year. I would’ve thought Ipswich, Portsmouth and Lincoln to be in the play-offs but they’re doing bab.
Ipswich signed loads in the summer too. Not worked, but very expensive... Imagine that'll need unpicking soon, or another Derby is possible.
Lost track of the number of times Ipswich have let me down in bets for Champions and promoted for a 4 division accumulator.
Massive... they are better supported than us, Stadium twice the size, 30k average attendance in L1... Population 2/3rds the size of Hull. Don't understand the bitterness. Honest Northern club that is full of locals, unlike many other "big" clubs.
