AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[Grimes]

There's no PM you bunch of absolute gimps

Hasn’t received the PM ^

 

[Baby Give It Up]

Why has the club not offered him a new contract when he got us promoted? We have shown no loyalty in him and why should we expect him to be loyal to the club?

 

[Houghtoner]

They have wealthy owners but they spunked money as badly as we have, without results, and have had to pay off their latest managerial casualty. I feel like they are offering him a better work environment rather than purely financial gains

Suppose we don’t know. Very early days in the season so can’t really take into account that Stoke haven’t started that well. Think we’ll all be f***ing gutted if he leaves like. But see what happens.

Tinker

How to say you know nothing without saying you know nothing

 

[The Rolls Royce]

Pretty much

They have solid sources and their whole reputation is based on accuracy. Its very likley his head has at least been turned and guaranteed theyve interviewed him Id say

 

[Be Here Now]

Need to get him tied down to a contract and make him a manager not this "head coach" shite.

 

[Jambezz]

If anything I'm taking the Athletic article as a good sign. Why would he take training if he was accepting another offer!?

 

[safc_stevo]

I'd say this is closer to the mark. He's taking training, pushed the conference back to 2pm. Enough time to create a bit of a stir while his agent talks to the club and sorts out a new deal.

Hope this is the right answer

 

[cowan86]

Surely a new deal? Should of got a proper contract after the playoffs.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

He’s not going lads, I’ve bet on him leaving and I haven’t won a football bet all season.

I didn't fall for it....
I didn't fall for it....

I didn't fall for it....

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

What does it say please mate?

“However, he is currently present on the training pitch.

Sunderland have pushed their pre-match press conference back to 2pm, though it is uncertain whether it will take place with Neil or if there will be an announcement on his future.”

 

[robbied1]

Aye. Signing Van Hecke before 12 so can be in squad tomorrow

Alex Neil wouldn't be involved in that though

 

[tenpins]

This. Happens every time on here.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

I’ve thrown better PMs in the bin

 

[rubberface]

i feel physically sick. I just been told he could well be away. Hope not obviously.

 

[Balboa]

Until he’s spotted at a train station in a Stoke tracksuit I just refuse to believe it

 

[ScottDuffman]

So easy for someone within the club to tell a local journo that it's BS and to get it out to the fans... the longer that doesn't happen...
Would be a travesty from the club if they allow him to leave, and I can't understand why he'd want to either.

 

[gards2]

I would be astonished if he left.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

100% what they are saying but of course it won’t be taken that way if you don’t want to.

Why aye man

Are you saying Athletic have put out an entire piece, expressing doubt whether Neil will be taking the press conference this afternoon, entirely based on the reaction on twitter and the SMB which has largely been people telling anyone who is expressing doubt about Neil’s future that they’re raging fannies, melons and empty vessels? The expectation online from most SAFC fans is that nowts a bother, signings are going to be announced and Alex Neil wouldn’t leave for Stoke.
