AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[scotch]

Why would we give permission? Surely we would make it as hard as possible for them to take him.....at least get some compensation for the remainder of his pathetic contract. This is horrendous news.

12 month contract, probably has a few clauses in it, plus what would be stopping him quitting and then having Stoke pay whatever compo he would owe us

 

[SAFC_Jack]

You’ve spelled “realistic” wrong there mate.

When somethings clearly good, I’ll say it’s good. I am just also prepared to do the opposite, when needed.

Not sure about that like, definitely glass half empty.

 

[toomdog]

I like AN but not as much as the 16 lads who’ll run out and play in red and white for us tomorrow! I’m focusing on that and if AN thinks Stoke City is a better option than us, in all honesty I wouldn’t want him here anyway!

 

[Swinny14]

Why do we keep having the piss taken out of us man

 

[Oh Bugger]

Amazed we've said he can go and have talks with Stoke.

It's been a really nice start to the season too, but I suppose it's the Sunderland way to not be able to just enjoy a period of relative calm.

Good to see that we are bigger than one man.

 

[CheersMarra84]

Some people are jumping in with both feet here mind “I’ve lost respect for AN”

We need the full picture like, the club and him haven’t even said anything yet. People are just out pinning and going in to meltdown.

He’s gone

Could you not wait the 5 mins?

 

[Perryqhill]

Not secure for him though is it?

What is? There's always a termination clause somewhere. He insisted on the rolling contract- how many are forgetting that?

 

[Westmidsmackem]

I hope we see a wolf of Wall Street " IM NOT LEAVING" speech

 

[SR2]

Either way it’s bad crack from Neil like.

Game tomorrow, early kick off live on sky. Taking a training session today.

We can pretty much write any chance of a win off tomorrow.

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Press conference has been pushed back to 3pm now in France

 

[Hot Since 82]

CAN EVERYONE STOP POSTING FOR 5 MINUTES… I Can’t keep up!

I think Dyche will do a good job for us

 

[Sweeper]

Not sure about that like, definitely glass half empty.

Anyone who wants to engage in wishful thinking all the time, can of course do so.

 

[nelford_safc]

If I was him I’d be thinking fuck em then if they’ve given permission

Maybe it was courtesy? I’m just clutching at straws

 

[deleted.user.36592]

If he leaves his Fatha definitely takes two in the stink

 

[SAFC_Jack]

Downie now covering his tracks with his latest tweet about him just as likely remaining at the club

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

If Neil goes I hope we back the club. Yes the contract wasn’t ideal, but this is on him. It’s a crackers decision.

I’d be fairly vexed with all parties for f***ing something pretty good up.

 

[Pacific]

delayed press conference will now be a new contract announcement

 

[Confucius]

I woke up this morning sun shining brightly and wondering what new signings would be unveiled today. At least the sun is still shining

 

[GingerNick]

why the fuck do we fuck it up every time things are going well


teams looking ok, squads got a good feeling

then we do this to ourselves 24 hours before a f***ing match
