We are selling the club to people who have been waiting a while to buy one, they had their own ideas last time we discussed a deal with them, the deal comes with a full clear out clause and all their own people??? Dean turned it down before and put a caretaker in the seat awaiting the 'right time' , ie he got most of his cash back and that's now??? Both he and Phil now walk away and possibly both with a few bob extra? Perhaps??

Says on website that we are NOT seeking applications for the job. What does that mean? PH didn't buy himself a training top for no reason Would be worth it just for the reaction 😆

Foreign coach to come in and recruit largely from abroad at affordable prices, akin to Wagner but a different nationality?

The bottom line says everything. We already have someone lined up. Yes we are grateful for them keeping us up, but the football was awful and if they didn't have a plan of how to improve it then I think it's the right call. Reading between the lines it also appears to me they wanted more control which we didn't want to give them. But surely the football was awful because we were trying to stay up ...needs must and all that.

Sounds like they had a disagreement and Phil sacked him before they left.
You could see Cowley has been displeased for a while. And then the comment... "No one knows how hard it has been."
How much money have we spent buying them out of the contract and now paying them off then?

There had better be a good plan in place for this, I think it will make or break us. Following the shit shower they took over, I think the Cowleys' points per game was a really good effort. If PH gets this wrong things could turn very ugly.

Correct decision. They underperformed. Moronic comment.

Fucking hell, I almost didn’t click this thread, I thought it was a joke!
Speechless, surely it was mission accomplished?
Also we haven’t a pot to piss in due to having to pay for all the wasters and this won’t be cheap!

After a mad season, more madness! The Club really should explain themselves!

They were being bellends every week on the touchline. Fair enough acting that way lower down the pyramind but its not really the done thing once you get up to this level

What the?
Completely embarrassing
1 win in 9 months
1 point from 6
Turns a team into 13th best in the league under him

A surprising decision, we wont know a fraction of what goes on behind closed doors though, easy to appoint blame and jump to conclusions.

Would love to have seen a Sunderland til I die style docu following us this season. This announcement would have been the perfect clifhanger type episode to setup season 2!

indeed! Shambles decision. “ The Club are not seeking applications for the vacant position.” Someone lined up then... Phil appointing himself?

This is make or break for Phil now. If he gets this appointment wrong he will lose the vast majority of the fan base. Absolutely massive decision.

Correct decision. They underperformed. They took over a team who had barely won a game of football in over a year, were chronically short of confidence, couldn't score and used to losing every week. Their only remit was to keep the club up and they did with a game to spare. Then kick us on next year with their own team in place.

Fuming at this Cowleys poured everything for us They took us 1 point in 9 games to keeping us up with a squad that wasn't theirs, in a season that's been disrupted by a global freakin pandemic.
Sure, the play was hard to watch and they certainly didnt react in games like you'd hope BUT end of the day, they kept us up!!
I fear now that this will also end our hopes of bringing back ESR and Chalobah
I would hazard a guess that they couldn't agree on budgets, Cowleys seemed very unhappy at letting Stankovic go (going by the wording when he signed abroad). Then this happens after them talking about signings. Again, this is all guess work
I'm shocked, fuming and concerned at the same time
Dammit Town, I wanted to relax now!!

Seems incredibly harsh.
They have done the job required of them in extremely difficult circumstances and deserved a shot at it next season.
Yes, we have been shit since the season restarted other than last night but they got us over the line.
Don’t underestimate how difficult it was to turn around the mentality and atmosphere within the club. It was toxic and everyone was used to losing. They managed to change that and the West Brom result gives us something to build on.
