AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[Sid]

Club should be releasing an official statement regarding this like

They probably will if he pulls out of the presser.

 

[Tommy]

Why haven't the club came out and quashed all of this?

What is it with our fans and the constant need for the club to come out and reassure us.
The club doesnt need to come out and quash it, Neil can do that in his press conference at 2pm if he wants to.

Athletic reporting he’s expected to leave

How ironic that we would have been better off letting Stoke just beat us.

 

[Windypants]

I'm genuinely baffled as to what Stoke bring to the negotiating table that we don't? Isn't going to Stoke a sideways move, at best? Or am I missing something?

 

[Sweeper]

A short-term employee should not be given the keys to long-term decisions.

Strategy is working great at the minute and we have come a very long way in a short space of time.

We’ve come a relatively long way, in precisely the amount of time AN has been here.

He is the reason things improved. Before he arrived, the clubs trajectory was either flat or down.

Club should be releasing an official statement regarding this like

Busy sorting out who takes charge of tomorrow's game.

 

[SOLid]

Been that price since the presser was delayed.

Don't think so - it was 1.7 15 minutes ago. But maybe you're right. Who cares anyway.

 

[The Rolls Royce]

People just recycling the same links and stories now

 

[woodlebert]

He has a pathetic contract at Sunderland with limited security

Did he not want it at the start? I remember reading it was mutually agreed thing

Long term contract. It's not rocket science.

 

[shadowplay]

Would the club be in a position to refuse permission for him to speak to other clubs? Just genuinely asking.

More money and autonomy.

Which, incidentally, have to be the two biggest priorities for any self-respecting manager.

Let’s hope AN ends up using this to negotiate both from us. We’ll be better off for it.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Doesn't Neil's wife live in Stoke too. I don't think she's ever moved.

Ahh…now we know who to blame…

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

He's done a fantastic job so far, and that should never be forgotten given the shambles he walked into, but even if he ends up signing a new deal he's gone right down in my estimation regardless of whatever issues there are behind the scenes.

This is the thing now isn’t it?

Goes to Stoke and it’s a nightmare leaving us in a bit of chaos. Stays on better terms and he’s used Stoke City’s situation to strengthen his own hand. Whist I like him, I’m not keen on that conduct at SAFC.

..obviously.

Better ticket office and club shop. Maybe his kid can't get the shirt they wanted or something

That will be the new Kane taking corners moment.
