I can’t quite believe they didn’t offer him improved terms after promotion and decided to keep him on his rolling contract I do think this young owner of Sunderland is a bit of a chancer to be honest, that lot will lose patience very quickly if they lose Neil and make a mess of appointing his...

Doesn’t even bare thinking about him going there

When a manager has spoke to another club like that I don’t usually see a way back Seem to remember Steve Clarke was manager of Reading a few years ago, he spoke to Fulham and he didn’t get the job and Reading got rid anyway Mark Hughes was Fulham manager once and spoke to Villa, didn’t get...

When is the Robins to Sunderland thread starting

Alex Neil given permission by Sunderland to speak to Stoke

Speaking to Stoke

He’s only on a rolling contract at SAFC so wouldn’t take much compo I’d imagine Sunderland’s directors and rapidly drawing together a new contract for him, be equally as disastrous for them if he was to jump ship like it would be Robins with us

I’ve made my thoughts known that I don’t think MR goes to Stoke and obviously I’ll be happy if I’m not proven wrong Something very fishy going on over at Sunderland, Alex Neil the favourite and he’s apparently bailed from doing his weekly press conference this morning

I meant he was on a hiding to nothing as he quite clearly wasn’t up to the job* my bad

Not disagreeing with that to be fair, he was on a hiding to nothing from the off - any other manager would have sacked it off when Delieu pulled that stunt of sitting on the bench

If we’d have kept King and had a proper manager we would have stayed up that season, we were still fairly close with an awful side and a manager who wasn’t a manager

Yeah and I’ll start panicking if there’s a massive fire sale between now and Wednesday but as things stand I’m still relatively confident

Come off it man, in 2011/12 we had a chief scout who had never managed before playing Clive Platt and Roy O’Donovan up front This season we have probably our second best ever manager coaching Gyökeres and Godden

Every other season third kits have been released October/November time I reckon they’ve brought that forward this season to try and scrape some money together after we’ve had to postpone three matches and put a good chunk of money towards the pitch repairs

I’d say for a side that have consistently spent as heavily as they have since relegation, yes they are a poor side

Where did I say that? I just take half the stuff I read on here with a pinch of salt, if you were an outsider reading this forum you’d think the club was about to go to the wall any minute

It’s not arrogant to think we won’t get relegated, yes when we get going - Ie when we get into the rhythm of playing consistently

According to twitter, self proclaimed ITK’s and this forum we’ve already lost Hamer, O’Hare and Gyökeres this summer in addition to our manager and now Hyam:ROFLMAO:

We’ve played twice, other than 25 mins I thought we navigated a pretty tough trip to Sunderland quite well and if we hadn’t have pressed self destruct we’d have beat Millwall convincingly When we get going we’ll be nowhere near the bottom 3

Likely to be relegated? I don’t think there’s a chance we go down myself but each to their own
