    Some ex Mag player on Talk Sport to-night strongly recommended SKP for the Sunderland job, when told it was probably going to be Alex Neil suggested he appoints SKP as assistant manager, what a show that is. <grr><grr><grr>.

    Quick google looks like he's been with Neil all the way through. Right from his time at Hamilton.
    Currently working with Hearts academy

    He had Mike Pollit as a coach as well. I think he was a keeper back in the day

    Not going to lie I wanted Keane but not for footballing reason, I just wanted the crazy ride with him to be honest and for the media circus and recognition. I'm more than happy to see Neil here and will get my full support.

    I bloody hope he tries a new system, because they haven’t got a bloody clue what the old one was.

    Welcome to SAFC fella, you've got a big job in front of you but you have 100% backing from me and, I expect, most other Sunderland fans - at least for the first couple of days!

    Just spotted Neil paid £8m for Pritchard when he was at Norwich.
    Good omen

    By this logic, it literally didn't matter who we appointed, you'd have slagged him off. We could have brought Pep in and the same thing would apply. So, in summary, **** off you miserable ****.

    I'm happy with Neil, he's a good manager and gives us the steel that I wanted from Keane.

    Not especially happy with the club at the moment, winning the next game would help to move on from it.
