Sunderland hope to hold discussions with Sam Allardyce by the weekendLast Updated: 08/10/15 9:23pm
Sunderland chairman Ellis Short hopes to hold formal discussions with Sam Allardyce over the next 48 hours as he attempts to appoint a replacement for Dick Advocaat. Allardyce has been linked with the vacancy in recent days, but there has apparently been no direct contact with Sunderland and their former player. The Black Cats hope to have a new boss in place before their next game against West Brom in the Premier League on October 17. Eight days later, Sunderland entertain struggling derby rivals Newcastle, a fixture which has seen the last three managers pitched into battle with their neighbours in their second game in charge and win on each occasion.
But the club are seemingly determined not to appoint in haste and get it wrong and if the former Bolton, Newcastle and West Ham boss is not keen, they will move on and look to do so quickly. It is believed there has been significant interest in the job vacated by 68-year-old Advocaat last Sunday despite Sunderland's parlous league position - they lie 19th in the table and are yet to win a league game this season.
Burnley's Sean Dyche is also thought to be interesting Sunderland, but the compensation package which would be needed to take him to the Stadium of Light might prove prohibitive, even if he could be tempted away from Turf Moor. Former Leicester boss Nigel Pearson and American Bob Bradley have also narrowed in the betting in recent days, although it is understood neither figures particularly prominently in the names being mentioned within the Stadium of Light.
