If he got offered the job at Brighton would you expect him to stay because they are a smaller club?

Don’t worry they’re still not as tinpot as Boro.

Care to elaborate now your sober.

Of course not.
You only have to look at where Boro are in LEAGUE ONE to know that........
Why on earth would the fact that the majority of Sunderland fans see you as a massive club (whatever that is) have any bearing on which club someone would prefer to be at

Doesn’t matter what league you are in, once a tin pot club always a tin pot club.
Now don’t get upset cos I said you’re more tin pot than Burnley.
Get on your own tin pot forum and slag us off, there’s a good boy.

As long as we've got the current owners in charge Neil would be mental to turn down a team in the championship, a bigger fanbase means nowt with shite owners.

I’m not deluding myself at all, I’m merely pointing out that it’s not a given that he would go if offered. Just like we failed to attract Tony Mowbray, Paul Cook or Paul Hurst out of league one when we went down to the Championship. And before you laugh at those names, we went for them before Grayson because at the time they were all better than Grayson. Good managers don’t often jump into basket case clubs. That’s not delusion, it’s fact.

What if the owners of the club offering him the role are even worse, and he knew he’d have to do what Huddersfield have had to, ie sell every player that they receive an offer for, and replace with free transfers?
No, if we don’t go up then he’d likely go to any well run Premier or Championship side if offered the role. If Burnley stay up then they will be ok for another season. If they go down then must football economists believe that they will be the next financial basket case a la Leeds, Forest, Derby, etc. Nothing to do with size of club in my opinion, it’s to do with taking on a thankless job that can really only end in one way.

Does the team you 'support' wear red stripes ? Or black ?
Cos you're coming across as deluded as the people who get slagged off for it.
Upset !!!
Normally I'd say the owners are much better and give managers a lot longer, but they've just been taken over and binned the long term manager so maybe not. Remember the 59% ownership who Neil is working for, that will be more important to him than number of fans or club history.

If a builder left halfway through a job on their house for a bigger job on a better house with more money I think people would be pissed off. Yet these same people would condone a manager leaving a club he’s only just started rebuilding for one that’s only just been relegated but is considered a better club.
Weird.
Weird.

Every chance Neil knows Nixon and he might have asked for this story to be used as a bargaining chip. He might, surely must, already know the budgets for staying down and going up and might not be happy with them.
Nixon works a lot of EFL games in the North West and Neil was boss at Preston for maybe 3 years.
