AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[Sweeper]

Tell Neil to fuck off now then.

Wow.

 

[thewearsider]

This whole thing is ridiculous. If his current contract is such that a club half our size can potentially take him so easily then the Club should have put him on a much tighter contract earlier . Also very disappointing that AN would even consider the post in the first place as is suggested if hes talking to them.
Not good this.!

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Absolutely baffling this

 

[Hank Scorpio]

How so?

It comes down to the rolling contract bud. It was a stupid thing to do and in the end, it’s bitten us on the arse.

I don’t care if Neil was happy with the agreement or not, the club should have been firm immediately after promotion.

 

[Microtonal Banana]

The bloke can fuck off - fans need to be on the streets to protest this one simple as.

 

[Superkenwynejones]

If it’s true his direct employers can fuck off more like. Just goes to show there’s no ambition and we’re still a massive shit show behind the scenes.

Imagine letting him go to talk to another club the day before a game man.

Surely could have waited until after the game. Absolute shambles from the top again.

Deserve absolute pelters at the game tomorrow

 

[ebb]

He's dead to me even if he speaks to them

 

[ScottDuffman]

Even if it doesn't happen the fact that he's travelling down there now the day before a game leaves a sour taste. We should never have let it get to this stage and it's hard to see a way back.

 

[bahtat]

Has he been used solely for the purpose of getting us out of League One

That’s a conspiracy theory one step to far

 

[Hatful Of Hollow]

You must be logged on to see media items

Won’t be at the presser

Shit

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Aye there’s no way of him coming back from this now.

Club need to cut ties and look for a replacement

 

[Iansamackem]

Even my mag mates are baffled if this happens, completely sideways move

MONEY

 

[southstander]

Have mercy Lord....

Raffle the hot seat before the game. It would be better.

 

[Hooley13]

Tricky one.

IMO if he’s pushed to want to speak to Stoke then his position here in untenable now.

Whys that? The bloke has asked to be backed with x amount of players he hasnt got them. I said all along hed be away if he wasnt backed and people with their head in the clouds were saying no way hed walk he worked under a tight budget at preston etc. Hes been a breath of fresh air for this club and for the owners not to give him the tools he needed is unforgivable. They need all the shit thatss coming their way and some.

 

[craigypants]

The prick was in the doldrums before we appointed him. Hope it blows up in his face.

Agree totally. Fuckin bloke was scratchin around....what a twat

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

You don't go to "talk" with another club and then end up staying at your current club. Everything will have already been agreed. He's gone.

 

[woodlebert]

Has he been used solely for the purpose of getting us out of League One

The other way around I would think?

 

[MarcoG]

Still not worth panicking over but how is this happening?

It's very much this for me. I don't really care what Alex Neil thinks of Sunderland as a football club, our history or our fans but what's gone on behind the scenes to make him think Stoke are a better prospect for him than Sunderland?

If he does go I hope the reason it is just about money or some personal reasons. His comments about Broadhead the other week when he signed for Wigan and now this... not sure about any of it.

 

[rubberface]

Imagine if they dont want him after this

Surely theres no way back

I don't want him back. Can i be first one to say KEANO!!

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Travelling down the day before a game is very disrespectful mind. They could at least negotiate on the phone.
