Agree. But even if we don’t do either, who cares. It’s about Sunderland AFC, not Stoke and Alex Neil. What constitutes success this season is not defined by how Stoke and Neil do
Bit of a different perspective this , but lot’s of people have criticised alex neil etc but have Sunderland as a club behaved well when we have had tony mowbray sitting in the stands since first game of the season???
Hahahaha. It’s a long way off, hopefully it won’t be as raw by then.Precisely mate. It's shite but we're still very very early in the season. We'll never know how an Alex Neil Sunderland team would have done in the Championship. We need to move on.
Quite a lot of bad feeling mind. I reckon it could be like Figo returning to the Nou Camp when he comes back.
Someone will probably bring a piglets head into the SOL.
We were fucked man,just lost 6-0 and we’d played more games than teams below us and end we were 8th when they caught up.One striker(no back up)players dead on their feet etc.It was our 4th season there so by your reasoning was expected a lot earlier,well before Neil rocked up.He sorted it cos he managed the situation brilliantly.After Grayson,Coleman ,Ross,Parkinson and Johnson he was tremendous.You obviously have an agenda.He went to the Coventry game a month ago. Nick Barnes said if you asked Boro fans he’s more than likely been to theirs too. It’s a way of keeping your hand in so to speak
Getting promoted from League One is what’s expected. Anything less is a failure. Not like we were 22nd in L1, we were 4th when he took over
I have no agenda. I agree he was better than Grayson, Coleman, Ross, Parkinson and Johnson. But they were also the worst managers in our entire history. Sorry, getting Sunderland out of League One isn’t a miracle, as evidenced by those who failed getting sacked. It’s like getting a big six club in the top four, it’s not a miracle, it’s the remit of the job.We were fucked man,just lost 6-0 and we’d played more games than teams below us and end we were 8th when they caught up.One striker(no back up)players dead on their feet etc.It was our 4th season there so by your reasoning was expected a lot earlier,well before Neil rocked up.He sorted it cos he managed the situation brilliantly.After Grayson,Coleman ,Ross,Parkinson and Johnson he was tremendous.You obviously have an agenda.
So did Sunderland when they took Cotterill and going back further Alan Durban, both from Stoke. It happens in football. Seems like it’s ok when Sunderland do it but highly unacceptable and underhand when anyone else does.They knew he was under contract to another club.
Can’t see why anyone would be annoyed at Stoke tbhSo did Sunderland when they took Cotterill and going back further Alan Durban, both from Stoke. It happens in football. Seems like it’s ok when Sunderland do it but highly unacceptable and underhand when anyone else does.
Who? and Who?The way in which both these parties have behaved is a disgrace and if there is any justice in this world they will both fail miserably.
Couldn’t give a shit if they’re worried or not to be fair, just saying they’re in for it when they come up.Must really worry them..
So Preston managed to keep him despite Stoke wanting him but we couldn't?Just been at a barbecue with a big Preston fan. Didn’t know he’d left. Maybe people know this already but I didn’t. When he was at Preston there were two or three occasions according to him that Coates tried to get Neil to join Stoke. So yes Stoke’s leadership are disrespectful wankers and so is Neil. I really hope they both fail. What he also said is that at the start the football was high pressure high energy and in the end it became bland and negative. I hope he achieves the second outcome at his new club.
