[Shack]

Massive sigh of relief about this appointment from Mike Dodds!

 

[Bristol City]

Announced at 19:00

I don't know that much about him but i wish him well. He's got a monumental task to try and sort this mess out, but we couldn't leave this any longer. Having the Chuckle Brothers in charge of team selection come the weekend was simply unthinkable.

Why? We will always be down in league 1 if this is the attitude. “Let’s just accept it and support him”, how about we do something about it and drive the owners out and not accept being a league 1 also-ran?

 

[Travis]

The fella needs to come out for his first interview shirt off, war paint on with a severed bison head whilst chewing on it’s still beating heart to win us over.

 

[Sir dave]

We're a League 1 club getting Alex Neil, why are people spitting their dummies out? Surely this is a rather ambitious appointment? People's judgements are massively clouded by Keane falling through, for reasons unknown to us all. Back our Baldy master or piss off permanently, please?

I will give the man a chance and hope we do get promoted this season or next

 

[Ashley In!!]

defo not

If Keane had been appointed you'd have said he definitely was involved. Absolutely shameless.

 

[Upthere]

All the so called ITK’s fuming been beaten by an amateur @rubberface @Upthere @deodrant2, first Poyet now Keane time to stop the fantasy stories lads Just will storeys in disguise

There was a verbal agreement in place last week and they couldn’t do it, I’m happy to be called for it but you’ll realise the last few I shut up, only commented when people said Andy Reid was going to be the assistant manager and I went against everyone. So you can pipe down you little worm

 

[Mowgli]

Says who ?

Theyre saying 18 months now thankfully

 

[sofatester]

We all want out this shit league but it ain't guna happen with the current set up of Speakman and Alex f***ing Neil

Who should we have got in your opinion ? Which magical manager out there would come to Sunderland in league 1 and get us instant promotion?

 

[Haswell Makem]

Think we will be having exactly the same conversation this time next year after Alex Neil has been sacked. We will be in exactly the same position (play off's in league 1), giving it shit about the idiots in charge of the club.
Wrong appointment at the wrong time, but it gives an unemployed bloke a contract for a year and a half. I am just waiting for the ''get behind the manager'' messages to come out, and everything will continue as normal.
Alex Neil must have no pride or must be bloody desperate to take this basket case of a job, after Keane turned it down.

 

[Vauxie]

Im ok with Alexsy.
Strange times like.
We punt our manager, sign an over the hill 39yr old forward,get knocked back by a tv pundit and then give our new man a 12 week contract
What's the plan here like?
Got the Diamond Club at Wembo booked just in case.

People were saying it was done. Not saying you were one of them, but that was quite clearly shite.

Keane was never getting it. Speakmans interview told you everything, same as LJ presser about defoe did

 

[Geronimo]

Compare that to one of the best midfielders of his generation who dragged this club from the bottom of the championship. This is just so tinpot and typical of this ownership.

He did do that although its ancient history now. It ended badly with us and indeed Ipswich.
As a manager his record is poor

And you get the reward for the first fan to send out the usual 'back him or piss off' and we saw that in the Summer and that at its core is why we really are a hopeless club.

 

[North of the Smoke]

I think he will do well, and he aint lennon. good luck Alex and keep smiling mate.

 

[Sebastien]

I'm a little disappointed after the steak was dangled over our plate.
If he'd been appointed 24-48 hours after LJ i'd have said it was a very good appointment.

Where's this 12-week contract thing come from like, fatty?
