Neil situations interesting. Did well for us got promoted then wanted more say in transfers etc. Went to Stoke where he got full control and buggered it right up. Maybe our model is not as bad as some people think.
Sunderland is a small place, people are bound to know someone who works at the club. Things get around. The BCB got around, Aouchiche’s fkn flight logs with KLD got around days before he signed. I had a dm that Beale was sacked hours and hours before he was. It’s not as outlandish as people think
