AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[Oh Bugger]

Hopefully Sunderland have said Ok Alex we’ll start chatting with other managers

 

[Mackemansj1]

Tbh I’m pissed off he’s even bothered to open talks with Stoke. If true of course.

He's been dropping hints at not being entirely happy with recruitment like, let's hope he's playing a blinder to light a fire under the powers that be for to lose a good manager at this stage is shit like.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

But Stoke have little to no spending power currently either iirc.

They might offer him a 3 year contract. He's currently on a rolling one at Sunderland. Job security etc

 

[Grimes]

You’ve got to ask are we as poorly run behind the scenes at board level as we are the commercial side

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Get Farke in now

Allardyce keen to get back in management I heard.

 

[Deleted member 52509]

Unleash the Keano

Last time you said he was definitely signing as our new manager by 6pm that day .
-that went wrong so it’s a no from me

 

[Roker Scoreboard]

If he was completely happy at SAFC why would he even want the opportunity to speak to Stoke?
Our transfer policy can't be helping our situation either mind.

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Christ man.

If he willing to talk he’s not happy here in my opinion.

He's made his frustration pretty clear with regards to transfers. Would be gutted but not surprised if we lost him.

 

[RTGAdmin]

You don't just reschedule a press conference for 4 hours later woth the press already there. Something is brewing sadly

Of course you do. Taking training this morning is far more important than meeting the press. Once training has been completed there will be the usual press conference.

The press conference is a small window in the morning before training - obviously whatever AN had to deal with at that time was important and couldn't wait - hopefully we will find out more about that later.

 

[Superkenwynejones]

he isn't going to leave us for Stoke ffs, stop the panicking ffs

DB wouldn’t leave us for Villa

Gyan wouldn’t move to the Middle east

Hutchison won’t go the West Ham

Big Sam won’t go to England

Money talks unfortunately. He’s away I reckon big kick in the knackers this one

 

[Hooley13]

They don't have a better budget though. They are struggling with FFP and aren't spending.

Theyve just signed dwight gale for free and are paying him 20/30k a week. We can probably just abouts manage 10k

 

[SAFCDownUnder]

Even if this might happen, and would be typical Sunderland, surely the bookies can't be taken seriously as Joey Barton's name was on the betting........

 

[ksafc77]

The lure of Stoke?

Eh?

If we can’t compete with the ‘lure of Stoke’ we might as well pack it in ffs

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

I’m hearing he wants to take Stewart with him as well

i am not at all. Do not bite

 

[The Situation]

There's been two occasions in about the last 20 years where we've had a manager we'd be gutted to lose after looking like we had it cracked.

The first left for England and lasted about 3 weeks before losing his job and the second is going to go to Stoke City.

This f***ing club man. How.

 

[SAFC1879]

Get Farke in now

Currently managing in the bundesliga

 

[deleted user 785]

When the optimists like rocky resign themselves to acceptance, you know it's over

Why have we granted them permission????

 

[Andy7973]

Can't see him stopping now

 

[poisson]

If he speaks to them his stock will never recover here anyway, even if he doesn’t end up leaving

Just said the same. If he wants to talk to them just sack him and move on. If it's down to contract and we're not willing to budge then just resign.

 

[Coeus]

They really do.

Don't.
