O’Leary and Graham in the frame after Reid’s departure

SUNDERLAND chairman Bob Murray wants to move quickly to replace Peter Reid after his departure from the club last night — and George Graham and David O’Leary are in the frame to step in at the Stadium of Light.

Reid parted company as manager of the club along with coaches Bobby Saxton, Adrian Heath, Tony Book and Mike Walsh as Murray tries to address the slide of the last two years.

The club finished seventh in the Premiership for two years running but slipped to 17th last term, narrowly avoiding relegation, and occupy the same position again after nine games of the current campaign, having won just two.
