Sunderland and Kristjaan Speakman may be making another critical error in the transfer market, given recent rumours. For Sunderland, nothing short of a perfect summer and transfer window is needed. Owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and sporting director Speakman are two men under the spotlight following a season which held so much promise, but ended with so much disappointment. The Black Cats finished the season in 16th after a 2-0 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday; a team who were bottom of the table for the vast majority of the campaign, but who finished just three points behind Sunderland in the e...

Sunderland interim boss Mike Dodds has now been proved right about one Black Cats player in particular. Sunderland finished the 2023/24 season in 16th, with Dodds overseeing his third and likely final spell as interim manager. He took two wins from 14 games. It came after Michael Beale’s equally poor 12-game tenure, following the surprise sacking of Tony Mowbray at the end of 2023. The Black Cats lost 2-0 against Sheffield Wednesday on the final day of the season; their third-straight loss, with just one win in their final seven games of the campaign. A number of Sunderland players have been c...

Former Sunderland man Darren Williams has picked his ‘favoured’ next Sunderland manager. Sunderland are edging closer to appointing their next manager, though who it will be remains anyone’s guess.

And it looks like Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl is also out of the reckoning with rumours of a new contract for him in South Yorkshire. Elsewhere, we could see more names like Liam Rosenior potentiall...

Sunderland could now look to sell one player who only joined the club last summer. Sunderland brought in eleven new players at the start of the season, as they parted ways with the likes of Ross Stewart, Lynden Gooch and Danny Batth. The Black Cats welcomed a long list of young and inexperienced players to the squad, with very few of them managing to impress in their first campaign. The likes of Luis Hemir Semedo and Eliezer Mayenda certainly didn’t fit the bill to take up the No.9 spot, while Nectarios Triantis and Nathan Bishop earned themselves very few chances in the first team. However, t...

Sunderland could lose their ‘super talent’ to a relegated Premier League side this summer. Sunderland could face tough competition to keep hold of a number of their star players over the next few months. The Black Cats have endured a particularly underwhelming campaign following Tony Mowbray’s sacking in December, with the club dropping from ninth to sixteenth in the Championship table. Mike Dodds has guided the side to only two wins since taking over as interim head coach earlier this year, but their disappointing performances haven’t prevented heavy interest in their biggest assets.

Marco Gabbiadini says that he’s still ‘not sure’ about one Sunderland player. Sunderland have had some hits and some misses in the transfer market under Kristjaan Speakman, especially so this season.

But on the other hand, the Black Cats’ first-team squad is very misshaped and misbalanced right now, lacking in experience and attacking quality. There’s huge pressure on Speakman this summer to ensure that he gives the next Sunderland manager all the tool...
