He was gone days ago when stoke pulled out of a deal for a defender from Brighton. Great friends with stoke owners and has sat with them when he goes to stoke .he's already turned stoke down once but looks like he's gone and to a club that's chased him for years

This, everyone is potentially pissing their knickers over nothing.

he has 6 months left on his contract. he can talk to who he wants

media and bookies spin things. especially a media outlet with a bookmaking arm of its business

will be at sunderland at the end of the day on a better contract that at the start of it.

A short-term employee should not be given the keys to long-term decisions.

Strategy is working great at the minute and we have come a very long way in a short space of time.

Thanks largely to the short term employee however. The strategy is only as good as the person who is coaching the side.

And the recruitment strategy has caused a bit of tension with two head coaches in the space of 8 months.

Bollocks man

He's.on a 12 month contract, stoke might be offering 3 or 4 years.

Hopefully it just gives the club a kick up the arse to tie him down

He then gets on with the job and becomes a legend.

It's not bollocks at all. There's no reason at all why he couldn't have gone about his business today in a professional manner.
If he does want to go to Stoke, then sort that out from 3pk tomorrow.
 
Transfers shouldn't be affected if Neil goes, under our "model" the likes of Speakman sort the transfers out regardless of who the head coach is. Probably one of the reasons Neil is even considering jumping ship.

I can still get 4/9 on Skybet. I have £54 in my account. I take it from this thread I should whack another couple of hundred into my account and stick the lot on him?

In all honesty, it's seems quite likely now but there are some lingering doubts because of the way some things have gone. Him taking training and a few journos saying we still have an opportunity to convince him to stay are slight slivers of hope.

It's mad how the most reassuring poster on this thread is @OakeyStokie. For what it's worth, I don't think he'll go and this is all a ploy to get a new contract. It's criminal that we didn't offer him one the minute everybody's play off final hangovers ended, this was always going to happen.

Only because I can see it with a cooler head being on the other end of it. Neil has form for this and has done it numerous times before once across us.

I'll be totally honest. I think he's a very good manager but if he is playing two clubs like Sunderland and Stoke to get a better deal then it's very poor form and I'm not sure I'd want that in my club. Both clubs deserve better than that.

Let's just see how it pans out. It could all be social media driven yet. We'll see.
