AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[Napoleon Dynamite]

We cant refuse permission. Hes not on a contract.

Hes working like an agency worker.

This I did not know

 

[nelford_safc]

There is man. He signs a new contract and all is forgiven straight away, until his first run of bad results anyways and people shoot him with this shit. All hypothetical of course.

That’s why it’s lose lose imo. If he stays, then great. One bad defeat and people are gonna blame today on his poor performances.

Everyone’s phone battery must be lower than it usually is at 11.55am.

Which given the cost of charging right now, it’s a disgrace

 

[Grimes]

Long way to go for it mind

He’s picking up michut mate, then both of them heading straight to stoke

I think if you are doing well and your stock is rising you can afford to wait for a decent job to come round. The Stoke job is clearly not better than Sunderland - they get average crowds, are hardly on the up and can't spend money. If Neil was unhappy then he would be looking at better offers than that. Stoke fans don't seem to want him and he has used such tactics before to up his deal. For me, if I was guiding his career I would not be looking at Stoke as the next step.

..that is the baffling part of all of this. STOKE CITY

 

[Shieldsman]

If he talks to Stoke, he's finished here even if he turns it down. How can anyone respect him when he has decided to speak to another club.

If another employer offered you double your salary would you refuse to speak to them out of loyalty to your current employer?

Sometimes poster off here. 100% gets info. Like has been posted humdreds if times, things do/can change last minute. I'm big enough tho to take the flack, not bothered. Not interested in making things up.

OK well I don't believe whoever told you that he's threatened to walk twice this summer. I am surprised you do. Look at his track record he is not one to throw his dummy out as you suggest.

 

[Deleted member 50464]

I might be being dramatic but no way back for him now imo.

You're being dramatic.

What if he turns up at 2pm and announces that he has signed a new contract? That there was an approach from Stoke, he owed it to himself and family to listen to it, but he has signed (for arguments sake) a three year contract?

There would be 'no way back' for a manager who has transformed the club in a few months?

Its happening.

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

Thought the day couldn't be much shitter after the energy price cap confirmation, hang on though here is safc along to drop kick you squarely in the pods

Won’t need your heating on after this

 

[gowlcra]

Hello darkness my old friend

 

[SAFC_Jack]

He won’t be leaving. Downie looking for clicks, covering all the bases.

 

[tunstallhill]

Agree with it all. Only issue i see is if theres family issues.

It shouldnt even be on the radar this, he's a fool if he goes for footballing reasons.

If he does it will be because they've offered him an all round better package. More money, longer contract, more control , closer to family, more time off, all that jazz

 

[houghton cut head]

So the fact he is holding the press conference at 2PM means people have gone on like fannies for the last 2 hours over nowt, and he isn't actually meeting Stoke today to be interviewed for a job which he hasn't applied for?

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Tagging @PDF to take him to a different page in the thread

 

[No7]

What’s mad Bob saying

That he knew what was going on weeks ago but things change so he can neither confirm or deny what is actually going on

 

[PDF]

Could you not wait the 5 mins?

Fallen into the trap of hysteria… tell me when 5 minutes is up.

 

[WildinHetton]

players didn't want to train today, not sure if they did

Where the fuck did you get that from?

 

[rubberface]

So just shut up then and keep it to yourself. It’s obvious you don’t care if you end up looking like a tit since it’s happened that many times. Nobody on here takes you seriously anymore.

..it's a Sunderland message board. And i will do as i please. Thank you

 

[Confucius]

KLD wants the club to be sustainable, that won’t happen if you have to replace the manager every 12 months for either being shit or a success and someone has poached him.
