He knew this was the way we were going when he signed the contract. He's mentioned it very recently. He just wants to leave. Wish him well and replace him.

I respect the fact you speak with such authority on these matters when just this morning you were speaking with a similar authority that he wasn’t leaving and there was nothing to be worrying about and along with others were saying it was more likely he was speaking to new signings.

You don’t know what was agreed RE recruitment and what’s gone on during this summer on that front. He didn’t want to leave, now he does. Perhaps things have changed with what was agreed.

Has nobody every negotiated a pay rise before? You find out what the competition is willing to pay, if its more you go to your current employer and say they are going to pay me this much, what will you do? He's definitely angling for a pay rise and you can't blame him really. The mistake was to be so public about it.

Which football club were you manager of?

What the shiting hell are you withering on about?

We’ve a limited budget. Neil wanted players for the here and now (which we need). We’ve spent some of the budget on a young lad who will unlikely feature and clearly wasn’t what he wanted or needed. How that translates into ‘we should be spending millions and competing with Man City’ in your head is anyones guess.

I’d sack Neil for speaking to Stoke and move on. Those two positions aren’t mutually exclusive

Withering on about…:lol:

SAFC sits 5th in the table with this recruitment…it’s about time the club has taken responsibility on the financial side of transfers and the clubs future and not handing it over to someone who could leave at any time!
 
Clutching at straws here but Neil is at the AOL. Therefore the situation could be as simple as this:

Stoke approach Sunderland.
Sunderland have to let Stoke talk to AL.
Alex Neil listens to an offer from Stoke.
Alex Neil says “thanks but no thanks”.

Neil has to still be at the AoL for a good reason.

I have no doubt as a club we will get there and I agree we are the biggest club in the league, but that doesnt give us a god given right to win games. We are near the top of the championship, I dont think our squad is at that level, so i think he has us punching.

We were the biggest by a f***ing country mile in the league waaaaan and it took four years of huffing and puffing to get out of it. People need to wake up size of club and history mean sweet fuck all its down to money and we are operating in a very different way.
