SUNDERLAND MANAGER LEE Johnson has moved to ease the concerns of the club’s supporters over the availability of Aiden McGeady for this weekend’s League One play-off second leg against Lincoln City.
McGeady’s current contract with Sunderland is due to expire at the end of the season. According to local newspaper The Chronicle, a one-year extension to his deal will be activated if he makes his 30th start of the campaign as the Black Cats aim to overturn a 2-0 deficit tomorrow at the Stadium of Light.
Royle Leaves Thursday, 11th May 2006 18:15
Manager Joe Royle has sensationally left the club by mutual consent. A statement from Town on Thursday evening confirmed rumours which had been circulating on the TWTD Message Board throughout the afternoon.
Chairman David Sheepshanks thanked Royle for his three-and-a-half years in charge at Portman Road: Joe and I have met today and agreed that this is the right moment to go our separate ways. The parting is entirely amicable. I would like to place on record our warm appreciation and thanks for the tremendous job that Joe has done at Ipswich during his tenure, managing the club initially through turbulent times and building a side that reached the play-offs in two out of the last three seasons.
