Sunderland are on the verge of appointing a new manager, with Regis Le Bris in talks for the role after missing out on Liam Rosenior. The Black Cats have been struggling to find a replacement for Michael Beale, but they are optimistic about resolving the situation soon.
As they continue their search for a new boss, Sunderland are falling behind their rivals in recruitment efforts. However, they still have time to strengthen their squad before the upcoming season. In the meantime, here is the latest news from the Championship.
Former Premier League player Alan Hutton believes that Leeds United should sign Tottenham’s Oliver Skipp. Hutton thinks Skipp could thrive at Leeds and establish himself as a regular starter. Leeds are also set to finalize a deal with Real Betis for midfielder Marc Roca to return to the Spanish club permanently.
Looking ahead to the next Championship campaign, Carlton Palmer has made some early promotion predictions. He believes Leeds, Luton, and Sheffield Wednesday could secure promotion, while he has doubts about Sheffield United’s chances due to their ongoing takeover situation. Burnley is also expected to be in the mix for promotion.
