I hope this is and stays just a rumour. 11:22 - Jun 9 with 38194 views | welwynranger | But it is being reported that Burnley are interested in taking Marti as their manager. At the moment Craig Bellamy is in interim charge along with Michael Jackson as his number 2 . The Burnley fans are very unhappy as Bellamy has no managerial experience and is considered too old at 44. They want a manager that can get them straight back into the prem next season and have highlighted Marti amazing achievement for us. I hope the board make him a worthwhile offer to keep him. Little bit worried money talks | | | | |

I believe we're the first or one of the first clubs to do this. How effective it will be in player recruitment remains to be seen. | | | |

I am simply saying that our CEO has stated that we are in possession of much better analytical software now bringing us closer to those clubs on the analytical software front, nothing else. | | | |

I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 16:09 - Jun 14 with 3831 views | NW10Hoop | Is it too early for QPR to be making new signings? I'm not asking because I'm rabid - more in the hope of getting any clues as to whether Marti is laying down some foundations of his own | | | |
I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 16:34 - Jun 14 with 3700 views | LazyFan | If JCS did not have a really bad injury record, I would say to keep him. But he does, and that's the data, so we can only go on for now. I think Marti would be okay if we sold him as long as he gets the funds to replace him. Managers tend to like to have a nice transfer kitty if players are sold, as then they can bring in players they fancy, like Andersen, for example. We need to sell JCS as his history is too injury-prone. We should sell Chair, but with this court case unlikely, Marti will be happy when we keep him. If Armstrong doesn't sign a new contract, we need to sell him now as well for whatever we can get. I think if Burnley doesn't come in for Marti, we should be okay, and he will stay as we have some monies this season to spend. And if we get it right, then this could put us in the top half, which makes it look good on his CV. Rather than ending up like Beale and having to coach in war-torn countries where no players want to sign. | |

I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 17:57 - Jun 14 with 3415 views | davman | Well its nearly 1800 now, so why the hell have we not got a striker in? Probably because Marti has left and is taking Dougie Howser with him and the owners too. Can't think of any other reason, can you? | |

I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 20:10 - Jun 14 with 3086 views | The_Beast1976 | I play golf with a couple of lads who were involved in the development of the software used by Brentford and Brighton. Really interesting listening to them explaining little bits about how it all works. It was all top secret when they were working at the relevant firms, but they're both retired now so can talk about it a little more openly | | | |
I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 20:24 - Jun 14 with 3033 views | R_from_afar | "Nourry's also introduced interviews for prospective signings. Everybody who signs here now is interviewed by the club as part of a big bulked up character and background check". I like the sound of that. Good stuff 👏 | |

I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 23:11 - Jun 15 with 2611 views | Ned_Kennedys | Cifuentes now only 3/1 for Sunderland job, second favourite behind Lamps at 6/4. He’s out to 16/1 for the Burnley job now with Sky suggesting Super Scottie Parker is 6/5 favourite. | | | |
I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 10:52 - Jun 16 with 2279 views | daveB | Sunderland situation is bizarre, they sacked Beale months ago, what are they doing | | | |
I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 12:20 - Jun 16 with 2100 views | Northernr | I wish they'd just fcking appoint somebody else already. We've had three different requests from Sunderland publications asking us to "answer a few questions on Cifuentes". Fck off lads honestly. | | | |
I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 12:40 - Jun 16 with 2020 views | Hayesender | Yep, it's really getting on my tits now. Just appoint someone and leave us alone to enjoy our summer ffs | |

I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 12:54 - Jun 16 with 1947 views | Northernr | Or they can keep wallowing and Cifuentes just come out and say "I'm not going to sunderland obvs". | | | |
I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 12:57 - Jun 16 with 1929 views | dmm | I might be wrong but it seems managers rarely dismiss rumours like this. Perhaps they like the attention? | | | |
I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 13:05 - Jun 16 with 1899 views | derbyhoop | Or Marti is still on holiday/preparing for QPR pre season/discussing potential targets with our Recruitment team. Or maybe he doesn't read all the social media crap. | |

I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 13:17 - Jun 16 with 1866 views | Antti_Heinola | Well, the last manager who dismissed the rumours very openly, and got a flag for his trouble was Honest Mick. Managers are far better off saying nothing, and I don't blame them. | |

I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 13:49 - Jun 16 with 1756 views | Northernr | Plus he comes out and says "I'm not going to Sunderland" and then next week he suddenly becomes bookies favourite for Nice or somewhere else and doesn't deny it then everybody's all "well he's definitely going there then", which is another part of the reason they don't do it. Still, like I say, I'd like this go away. | | | |
I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 14:20 - Jun 16 with 1637 views | Hayesender | When do the players and manager arrive back to training? | |

I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 14:49 - Jun 16 with 1560 views | dmm | The squad leaves for Girona on Monday 1st July so I'd have thought they'd return sometime in the week before that. | | | |
I hope this is and stays just a rumour. on 14:55 - Jun 16 with 1525 views | Snipper | If, and it’s a big if, Marti Cifuentes departs for Sunderland or whoever, I’d trust our new look board with their new analytics to find a good successor. Enjoy the summer peeps. What will be will be. | | | |
