I see Sunderland have just confirmed Roberto De Fanti and Valentino Angeloni as Director of Football and Chief scout respectively. The latter was chief scout at Inter and both have impressive credentials.

Must admit i'm pretty jealous of this and the direction sunderland are going.

No not down hehe

But you must admit Ellis Short has good ideas for them and wish we had him in charge of Newcastle.

They obviously mean business and have a long term goal and building something there. Unlike ashley.

Can see them getting some top italians and bargains.

Why do we care who they put in charge. Obviously a mackem.

AND? . .

Oooo get them. Well at least we haven't got a league one manager. And at least we know finishing 5th isn't completely out of our depth.

And I should be bothered about this. Why?

Pardews last job was Southampton in league one!

Chief scout at Inter, there's a laugh and a half right there.

Inter has been in decline ever since Mourinho left, and even then Mourinho was playing oldies.

And we all know exactly how much of a negative effect a Director of football has. If Big clubs have problems between managers and directors of football imagine what will happen to a small club like Sunderland.

You have to laugh at Sunderland creating all these Hierarchy positions like they are Man City while they have a 2nd rate squad.

But pardew has managed a prem team. Di canio will soon lead sunderland to another relegation football. I really don't care about sunderland getting a director of football or a chief scout. Nobody should ever be jealous of their rivals, let alone sunderland being a smaller club than us.

Actually, when Mourinho left Inter, Their best players either retired or left

If you look at inter, They have a few Rising stars due to Sunderlands new scout, never know, might fu*k things up at Sunderland

Just reading that the impressive credentials of the new chief scout at Sunderland, Valention Angeloni extend to a successful 4 year spell at Udinese as well, where he uncovered, amongst others, Alexis Sanchez, David Pizzaro, Vicenzo Iaquinta, Sulley Muntari and Asamoah Gyan.
Apparently the new Director of Football Roberto De Fanti was 'instrumental' in the appointment of Di Canio.
Looks like Sunderland are putting together a tight knit 'team' over there.

Sunderland have a second rate squad? Beat you 3 nill also just finished below you and you deluded clowns think you have a good squad.

Sunderland are re building the whole squad and some quality players will be brought in.

I guarantee sunderland will be top ten next season AT LEAST.

Also smaller club OK where's Jesmond geordie.

So di canio leading sunderland to relegation but please tell me how many teams pardew has led to relegation, just a few and almost you lot last season
