AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[rubberface]

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.

I've banged on here for weeks saying i've been dissappointed with lack of recruitment..i got pelters. Turns out Neil has been to. Tried to walk away twice.

 

[redandwhiterob]

It's clear as day talks have already took place unofficially. No way on earth he doesn't already know what's on the table for him

 

[JJH]

Neil just doing what everyone us in his position would do.
Give him a long term contract on decent money .
End off .

 

[Ch1982]

No it wasn’t a surprise at all. Only surprise was that LJ wasn’t sacked the previous November

Hardly anyone predicted a sacking at that point

 

[mr-bungle]

He absolutely is using this to get a better deal @ Sunderland.

He’s not like. He’s gone.

 

[Drexl]

Can’t think of a single reason he’d see that as a good move. It would be a truly bizarre side step (actually probably more of a downward step the way they’re going)

 

[Krusty up front]

The KLD snub to AN (or vice versa) at Wembley is making sense now.

 

[nelford_safc]

Sunderland literally do a Sunderland on a weekly basis ffs

 

[TravellingMackem]

This board now in meltdown over something Keith Downie understands.

Jesus wept.

This. He’s notorious for reading shit on here and posting it as fact. Neil isn’t going anywhere

 

[gards2]

Why would anyone want Keane, a quitter and a bottler

What? haha

 

[houghton cut head]

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

To be fair when you own the club you can do what the fuck you like; you don't have to let the Manager know what you are doing.

 

[Bamber]

Sean Dyche

And The Athletic, and numerous other journos.
If it was just Downie we'd take it with a pinch of salt.

What if they saw the Keith Downie tweet and just rehashed it.

Relax.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Iff he leaves after 6 months and a decent start to the Championship he is an utter cock

Would him looking to leave a d eventually deciding to stay still make him a cock?

 

[McGregor]

Depends who’s claimed this. Downie is notorious for copying shite off here and Facebook and claiming them as facts. If there’s any more reputable journalists saying this, then I’d be concerned

Well its breaking news on sky sports.

 

[Wild Card]

serious question here, do we have a say in who he talks to given his contract type/situation?

Could it not be a case of there is nothing we can do about them talking to him?

and from a media point of view sunderland give permission sounds more dramatic?

 

[SAFC 2012]

Unless KLD has someone already lined up...

Highly unlikely the boy doesn’t seem that interested

 

[Deleted member 52498]

Its hardly just a random tweet from Downie man

Where else is it.

 

[Oh Bugger]

I’ve heard Stoke are willing to pay his gas and electric bills.

 

[TravellingMackem]

Hardly anyone predicted a sacking at that point

clueless mate. Go read the Bolton match thread on here and come back. People were at the ground chanting “Johnson out”, me included. Yet no one predicted it…
