div 12,935 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Sunderland GK coach Jimmy Walker, who Jack recruited in the summer, has left the club to move to Ipswich in order to be closer to his family. This in turn has kicked off a rumour that Jack wants Craig Samson to replace him. I believe there is plenty substance to this and that Sammy could even leave before January.

shull 27,723 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Why would anybody want our Goalkeeping Coach ? Samson might make a good Coach. Dinnae need to be a good goalie to make a good Coach. Sammy fits that bill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billyg 5,342 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Samson, 34, has now played his last game for the Paisley club. After talks with boss Oran Kearney this morning the ex-Scotland squad goalie is ready to hang up his gloves and retire from playing. Samson – a huge fans favourite – has agonised over whether to stay and play on this season or move on and end his own career. But Kearney is ready to accept his decision to join previous Saints boss Ross at ambitious League One side Sunderland Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would of thought he’d hold off until January so we have adequate cover. 2 1 faraway saint, Lord Pityme and Doakes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed , but he's probably got ambitions in coaching , and joining what looks like a success story in England will certainly give him a great grounding. I'm sure he'll give us a nice wave bye bye and a going away speech. 2 Lord Pityme and W6Saint reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W6Saint 592 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Ability aside this is poor from one of the senior members of a struggling squad. Not very inspiring from one of the guys who has played at this level before and is supposed to be helping the young lads to decide he’s offski’s just over a quarter of the way into a relegation battle... if true of course.

When reading the article it says something about both clubs in discussions or 'held talks', so would hope that there is something in way of compensation. I am disappointed though as Sammy has served the club well and has rightly been our no#1 keeper. However, whilst I am disappointed to see him go, I wish him the best as he has to do whats right for him and his family. 2 St.Ricky and TPAFKATS reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
