“The Black Cats board will now draw up a list of potential replacements and TEAMtalk understands there are a couple who have already put themselves forward or have been identified as potential targets.

 

 

“One to watch is Polish coach Marek Papszun who would be keen to talk to the club and has been approached by several clubs in the UK and Saudi in recent months.

 

“The 49-year-old is a name well-known within the game due to his success with Polish side Rakow Czestochowa.”

is understood tensions had been rising behind the scenes since the 43-year-old Londoner began voicing his concern at his young team’s lack of an experienced ­centre-forward. ­Sunderland’s 27-year-old owner, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, had fallen out with Mowbray when the ­latter ­publicly emphasised this ­glaring flaw in the club’s recruitment blueprint.

Compounding his growing ­political problems at boardroom level, Beale never won the hearts and minds of Sunderland ­supporters. His ­unpopularity only rose after ­Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Birmingham, now managed by Mowbray. Beale appeared to snub Trai Hume when he substituted the defender in the 88th minute. Television footage shows Beale ignoring his player’s outstretched hand. He apologised for that oversight on social media, denying he had refused to shake hands while also praising Hume and his professionalism.”
