AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[Maravilla]

Why is he saying he wasn't backed? You've spent money we could only dream of so far in this window (FFP restrictions). Is he saying he didn't want the players you've brought in? They seem to be Neil type players from his time at Preston etc?

Pretty much. Been very publicly unhappy with the recruitment for a few weeks now.

 

[Hugh Gains]

So anyone Stoke sign before the deadline will have been players that Neil wanted here. Be interesting.

Ye was gonna say, be interested to see how well the back him this week.

 

[Maxie]

Failed to back him in the transfer market?

Stoke have spent fuck all this year. What backing is he getting there?

They can't spend either yet can they!?

Wants to be in NW & getting more money.

 

[Mowgli]

there you go, not backed

You must be logged on to see media items

How will Stoke back him under a transfer embargo?

 

[Kenna]

Well my friend he is yours now. What do you think? If I take away my disappointment he is a good manager. So. Play-offs?

Nah he will fuck off before the season is over and take the managers job at Swansea

 

[The Rolls Royce]

Anyone else than Sean dyche or keano for sentimentality and I’m not going back

Keano would be an horrendous attempt to appease the fans a la Defoe. The Keane/Defoe saga, and how it almost went wrong, followed by the pragmatic but ultimately successful signing of Neil should teach us not to go down that path again.

 

[Visiting owl]

Looking at the positives.

He got you out of league one and you have a side that IMO can complete in the championship.

Now hypothetically, if you were a championship side and your manager had left and you appointed Alex Neil, I've no doubt it would be all a bit meh to most fans, as he is hardly a world beater and goes stale after a while.

Hopefully you will appoint someone who can take the club forward. There are many managers out there that would love to manage Sunderland, especially now your back in the championship.

Said since the boy puppet was put in charge his mothers got the purse strings, all bullshit it’s a f***ing toy to them , rolling contracts totally incompetent off the field and now on it. set of bastards

 

[Hugh Gains]

I’m fuming now like

He’s got us promoted with his coaching and it looks like speakman is running the shoe as top don

I just can’t get behind a model in which the manager isn’t head honcho, sorry,

 

[turbo bratwurst]

Not backed in market is rubbish. Purely family based this one. Hope this doesn't jeopardize the lads comin in over next week, don't think it will.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

dirty mags just broke their transfer record to round it off

 

[InsomniacAttack]

We’re hardly going to dominate every match

I think he's rewriting history a bit there mind, we've been excellent so far this season and it's down in no small part to Alex Neil.

 

[Gronkowski]

He's outright liar to say he hasn't been backed
Probably wanted to spend £5m on Jordan Hughill or summit

 

[rubberface]

If it’s a done deal already it’s been in the pipeline a while. Therefore Speakman should have his ducks in a row, but knowing him it will be Daffy, yes the poster off here not the cartoon character

Not according to the statement mate. They were hoping he would stay couple hrs ago, even tho it was well documented he was going.

 

[Church]

Apparently he wanted a 4 year deal and full control of transfers. We gave him the terms but not

 

[HellsBells]

It’s only just dawned on me we’ll have no manager and a week until the transfer windows closes. So the new manager has to work with what he has until January

So does Alex Neil.

 

[Hugh Gains]

I’m backing Norwich tomorrow

 

[herra soul mob]

and next instalment of season ticket due fust september.......

 

[vibezzz]

And Newcastle have just announced the signing of Isak. Quite the day

Who gives a fuck?
