Alex Neil - New head coach confirmed

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Good luck to him but it's absolutely desperate stuff by the club and the PR admin at the club. 12 month rolling contract.... absolutely desperate

 

[hertsmackem]

Like moyes

Hahaha nice one

What a wanker he is and current events make him even more of one

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

I think we've established that but a win tomorrow and every safc fan on here won't give a fuck what's gone on lately tbh

Really? Is that all you think it’d take? A win at a club that are not a million away from being amateur?

 

[beezer]

My memory might be playing a trick on me but I’m certain he’s not the 1st safc manager to have a 12 month rolling contract

Think it was Mick McCarthy after he got us promoted Bob Murray gave him a rolling contract. Just means it’s an indefinite contract but when the time comes to sack him he’s due 12 months salary as a pay off. The way we get through managers probably makes more sense than giving him a 2 or 3 year deal.

 

[bedlington mackem]

He’ll be away at the end of the season unless we go up. The comments on ‘this season and this season alone’ give that indication

Depends on how we dont go up if that is the case…..if we lose the playoff final on penalties it would be really harsh to let him go ( unless we were 4-0 up at Half time of course )

 

[sofatester]

I reckon an awful lot will recall this shambles though?

Look man football fans are fickle as fuck it's all about winning. Nee one cares if your club is run by morons or by terrorists just look at the mags.

2 or 3'wins in a row and speakman will be a god and KLD the best owner ever that's what football fans are like always have been always will be

 

[SAFCOldie]

I think what's happened is he's left his agent completing the deal/legalities and AN must have wanted to get straight down to business. It's the only thing that makes sense.

 

[gizmoganzee]

Does that mean whenever he gets the boot he’ll have 12 months wages to pick up?

When the year ends he goes or enters another year.

 

[sofatester]

Really? Is that all you think it’d take? A win at a club that are not a million away from being amateur?

I'm on about the majority of Sunderland fans. Football fans in general are fickle as fuck and as soon as you start winning they forget about other shite that goes on

 

[bahtat]

Took training this morning, just having a kick about this morning while waiting for the ink to dry was he?

When did he sign? Club has said details were finalised this evening, is there any evidence they weren’t, you seem to think that there wasn’t sufficient trust between the two parties for him to start work before all the i’s were dotted and the t’s crossed

Seem to remember Keane took at least 2 days to sign his SAFC contract after we all knew he’d got job

I like Scottish managers . Real focus on the job and straight talking no nonsense attitude . If youv`e been in the forces you`ll know what i mean.

Good luck.... Alex the winning streak is on

Morse?

Don't know about Speakman, everyone's seen through him now.

Wrong. Not for the first time. People should care if your club is run by terrorists.

Correct about fans being fickle in nature though. I will forget about being angry about keane if Neil does well. Hold nothing against him and wish him the best of luck, obviously.

Will hold Speakman and KLD to account further down the line. They have displayed worrying behaviour.

 

[The Great MES]

Well he's got his work cut out, hardly any defenders, a midfield full of midgets, no proper back up to our only striker, about 10 wingers and a couple of dodgy goalkeepers. Best of luck, he's going to need it.

 

[Thatheaderman]

Welcome fella and hope you are successful here. Strange start but we're with you.

 

[Mouldedplasticseats]

I’d be interested to know what you see in him. I mean, he’s better than Parkinson and Grayson, but that’s such a low bar.

We're not in Kansas (the prem) anymore.

 

[jaxaxe]

Everyday he wakes up he has 12 months left on his contract

Possibly

Groundhog Day.

Every day he wakes up with one year left on his contract and Sunderland still in Division One.

Been trying to say that but many appear unable to get there heads around that way of going about things

On plus side it shows a lot of trust exists between niel and club

 

[Ch1982]

Someone high up in the club needs to front up and have the bollocks to tell us why this has taken so long to announce.

f***ing despicable from all concerned.

 

[safclav]

How f***ing small time do we look??? A rolling 12 month contract…. What a load of bollocks that is…. Stinks of Madrox all over that…. Give the bloke 2-3 years to build summit

 

[SafcForever1879]

3 points tomorrow against Wimbledon please just lift the fans and this board back on terms with the lads..
