Sunderland podcast: Was it right to sack Jack Ross? Who should be next manager? Takeover latest

Strap yourself in. There's plenty to get through, but we think it's well worth your time.

After a busy week at Sunderland AFC there was certainly plenty to talk about.

On Tuesday the club sacked manager Jack Ross with the club sitting sixth in the League One table. On the same day, a report emerged claiming the takeover had collapsed.

Chronicle SAFC writers James Hunter and Stuart Rayner sat down with host Craig Johns to discuss the events of the week.

In the near-hour-long show they discuss whether Sunderland were right to dismiss Ross and whether there were signs he could turn the season round and still earn promotion.

They also discuss what comes next for the club, discuss potential candidates, and more importantly the kind of traits the club should be looking for.

And finally, they also give their views on the FPP takeover and where they believe that to now be, amid that Sun report earlier in the week. They also discuss where the club stands financially, and how it would cope were the takeover of the US trio to fall through.
