Sunderland’s interim boss Kevin Ball will still be in charge of first team affairs when the Black Cats take on Manchester United this coming Saturday.
Ball has one win and one defeat under his belt during this spell in charge and it doesn’t come much harder for the stand-in than the current Premiership champions.
The club have been heavily linked with Gus Poyet and he is indeed the favourite to take over at the Stadium of Light, but chief executive Margaret Byrne says that the search will go on.
You can get tickets for Premier League matches including our match v Manchester United at www.stubhub.co.uk. Hopefully for our next Premiership game the uncertainty will be over and we`ll have a full time boss. Who is your money on?
A piece in the match day program reads:‘Clearly as a matter of priority, our efforts are presently focused on appointing a new head coach.
‘As you would expect with a position of this magnitude, there has been a lot of interest, however, there is no definitive timescale on an appointment, as we are carefully examining all of the options available to us.
‘I am sure that you have read and heard all kinds of rumours and speculation about potential targets but much of this is guesswork.
‘We have had contact with some interested parties already and have others to speak to in the coming days.
‘As soon as we have identified the right person to take the club forward we will make an announcement.’
