wanderer Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Reports in the EEN says McGeough has held positive talks with Sunderland. Now I know they are a big club but recently relegated to League 1. Is that a good move for him? Though the Championship would have been an option. Maybe he isn't as good as the Hibees think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbert. Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 He's a good Scottish premiership player so league 1 is maybe a step down but Sunderland will be looking to get back up and offer a decent wage. I would take him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous 1874 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Step down quality wise but he was obviously after more money which he will get. Also weakens Hibs which is fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Step down, but they'll be trying to build a team that can hold its own and be added to for the championship. Think rangers when they were a lower league team or even us and the hibs team he joined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The Sunderland Message Board had a thread on this yesterday. They said he was offered £5k per week which will go upto £15k if they get promoted! If Jack Ross sings a decent squad they will be in with a chance. A good opportunity for McGeogh. I am surprised Sunderland didnt move for McLaughlin too as they need a decent keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norrie1952 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Sunderland are a massive club with a huge support.I hope Jack Ross realises he has to get them promoted.Tons of pressure.Its easy to underestimate teams in league 1.If he fails he will get slaughtered for bad signings.

andsoitbegins Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Not a bad move for him really. People will watch the progress of someone at a club the size of Sunderland. They're still the Hibs of the North East though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 "They've got adults for a fiver, kids for free"...seems like there are plenty of similarities between both wee clubs...only thing is, the Hibs adults are using kids tickets up here.

Captain Canada Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I know managers like to sign players they know but if you look at Neilson and others as examples, it rarely works taking a bunch of SPFL players into league one or the championship.

poultry Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 If Sunderland have a chance of going back up the fans will pour back. So playing in front of 30 000 + fanatical fans and probably pocketing £15 k a week. Does he have a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same thought, ditto Levein at Leicester. League 1 has a lot of athletic players, skinny scottish boys not necessarily the answer. There is a need for hod carriers in that division.
