AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[redandwhiterob]

We can't even put tickets in the post or open a small shop. We're not going to be quick out of the blocks shutting down rumours.

It would take minutes to put a tweet out or brief a journalist off the record. Has to worrying that not one journalist is quoting a club source saying it's not happening

i feel physically sick. I just been told he could well be away. Hope not obviously.

You got told Keane coming was bang on though so I’ll take it with a pinch of salt

 

[Forever Sunlun]

What’s not606 saying on the matter ?

Not a lot

So basically there was no insider knowledge from them.

None. I hope

Apparently season 3 of Sunderland till I die is happening. Also not happy with the Costa Rican player wanted proven championship player in. Alex Neil is not happy and is off.

Do you have a source on this, or an educated guess?

 

[Grimes]

Not a lot

Just wondered if they’d hear owt different

 

[woodlebert]

I'd say this is closer to the mark. He's taking training, pushed the conference back to 2pm. Enough time to create a bit of a stir while his agent talks to the club and sorts out a new deal.

What he did at Preston

 

[redandwhiterob]

Why would a manager miss a press conference to sign a player?
He’s gone.

I'd be very surprised if that wasn't the case now tbh

 

[horselover]

From?

me nephew is mates with a lad who works at the academy...he's just rang him and told him he's leaving today

The clubs communication department could quite easily extinguish these flames. They are either pissing themselves laughing at us, or preparing the statement, “Jonathan Woodgate returns to management”.

This.

"Lets watch the fannies"

 

[WishyWashy]

Is it fair to say if this does happen Speakman and the club's stance on the 'rolling contract' has royally done us over and they have to take some of the blame?

The regular ‘itk’ posters are quiet at the moment

That’s entirely the impression I got but heaven forbid you have an alternative interpretation of what a manager has said

 

[ebb]

There's no PM you bunch of absolute gimps

Exactly this why would somebody with inside knowledge yet "can't" share in an open forum risk sending pm to random and risk them sharing it in an open forum.

 

[daveyspants]

Some proper f***ing melts on here mind, they take 'don't panic' to a whole new level.

 

[Hooley13]

We've just been promoted and are sitting 5th in the championship the club have backed Neil with some very good signings I don't get your post tbh

Yeah they have but they are way short as to what we need to compete in the league. AN told them what he wanted. And the reason we have been promoted and sitting fifth is mainly because of AN. If he goes it’s because he hasnt been backed and i can bet anyone anything they like if he goes Ross Stewart and maybe one or teo more will be away.

What’s not606 saying on the matter ?

Takeover happening

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Wonder if it means Sanderson is coming?

The Athletic article has confirmed that Alex Neil has taken training and absolutely nothing else of any substance. Dear me.

They’re little more a tabloid rumour mill now, was meant to be a bastion of long form journalism when it launched
