I see, ah well there goes my theory!

That's why they're contractually obliged to let him speak to Stoke. Whether or not he actually wants to/leaves is another story.

 

Will make for a cracking first epsiode of STID if he comes back, gets offered a big contract etc.

 

Can't believe Stoke aren't going all out for Dyche tbh

Not looking good for Cardiff...

What i'd take from this, and the absolute worst part, if his transfer was fully completed with a medical etc, there was absolutely no need to fly him over the channel at night, in the first plane they could find and in dodgy weather  

 

I'm not sure we'll ever get the full story on this one, but it's so so dodgy.

More court action expected on this. Cardiff's statement in response is they will contest this and, if they lose, will take action to recover the money from those responsible for causing his death. That includes Nantes FC. What a mess.

Horrendous. Also absolutely feels like the sort of thing that could happen again in some capacity, and can't help but feel this sort of thing is caused by transfer deadlines and the hype surround deadline day.

Why would Alex Neil go to Stoke from Sunderland. Seems a weird one.

Wowsers this is messy. Imagine his family reading things like this.

Money .

 

Surely no other reason ?

 

Will he end up like Nathan Jones and Gary Rowett - great job elsewhere but fail at Stoke .

Great scenes in the Sesh Yoo end

I thought Norwich had signed the original Aaron Ramsey for a minute!

 

Not his namesake .

makes little sense, Sunderland are a far big bigger club, bigger fan base, impressive stadium and probably the same chance of promotion as Stoke. Can't be money surely, you'd think he'd earn more at Sunderland. Still leaves you with the chance to get Sean Dyche... who must be the number one target now. Mind Roy Keane could be on the shortlist again considering he almost got it last time.

So annoying for Bristol City conceding late again, they would’ve been in the play offs. Also if the terrible pen decision hadn’t gone against them vs Hull they would be right up there. Looks like Nige is finally sorting them out. They have a very good young squad now of players that want to play for them, with a couple of experienced pros too. Definitely reminds me of what he built here in the early days.

Tony Mowbray is getting it… No comment 

[The Horse's Mouth]

Mowbray is a solid appointment tbh 

[StanSP]

Alex Neil confirmed at Stoke

 

 

[oxford blue]

Alex Neil was not properly backed - he was still on a 12 month rolling contract and his expectations in new signings were not met. Perhaps unsurprising he was happy to leave with certainty of a longer contract and he believes he will be able to shape team with financial backing

A solid match for 1994 AC Milan.

 

The goal they scored was sensational :

Why have Sunderland written that statement like a student journo doing a piece no one is going to read. 

 

"The 41 year old" departs "for the Bet365 Stadium" the tone of it is weird.

[Leicesterpool]

Tony Mowbray has decent championship record, but like so many he's just a boring appointment. Midtable manager at best. Interesting enough David Wagner is back in England at the moment was a guest at Huddersfield yesterday. Not sure if he's planning a return to English football, he a good fit for Sunderland?

Would Sunderland have enough of a squad to tempt Dyche or Parker? Certainly has the allure from a club size perspective.

 

Would be a 2 or 3 season project of course.

They don’t have the money think that’s why Neil left
