In the second installment of our Revie deep dive, we discover just how close the Leeds manager was to taking over at Roker!

In the latest episode of Haway The Podcast, the team takes you back to the summer and autumn of 1964 for the second part of their deep dive into Don Revie's surprising link with Sunderland. Hosts Martin, Kelvin, and Chris explore just how close the legendary Leeds United manager came to swapping Elland Road for Roker Park.

Picture this: Revie's Leeds had just returned to the top flight, and the whispers were growing louder. Could he really leave the club he was building for a new challenge in the North East? The lads break down the names being floated for the Sunderland job, the timing of the rumors, and the big question—was Revie playing a game of 3D chess to secure a better deal at Leeds, or was there genuine interest in taking the reins at Roker?

It's a fascinating "what if" that could have changed the course of both clubs. From boardroom whispers to fan speculation, this episode unpacks every angle. If you love football history and the stories behind the game, this is one you won't want to miss.
