@WhatTheFalkPod
Alex Neil indicating [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG] made him feel unwanted after promotion but says he "saw his future at Sunderland" and wanted to stay in the summer.

Says the squad is currently "extremely talented" but "lacking experience

@WhatTheFalkPod
"As soon as we got promoted, I wanted discussions to extend my deal...but as far as they were concerned I had signed the deal and that's what I was on".

Says that was the key component to him leaving [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG].

Money then?

Nothing new there?
 
Yep. Mind you, don't think he was our target last summer when the club decided to stick with Mogga
Neither do I mate, I now wish the club had been stronger and not bowed to the pressure of the fans.
Don't get me wrong I thought TM had done more than enough to earn a contract extension, but in hindsight it may have been better to let him go then and bring their number one target in

Funny how he never mentioned it when he left us in the lurch to go and watch Stoke when we had a game at the same time then sign for them. Only now when he's out of work......
 
You can say the same for players too.

Would Kieffer Moore have made a difference to us this season? Probably.

Would he have wanted to move to the NE? Who knows, but perhaps not. If he didn't want to, that's not the club's fault.

It's no good paying over the odds to get anyone who doesn't really want to come. We've been down that road before.
Keifer Moore wanted to be at the club that gave him the most exposure so he could cement his place in the Welsh squad for the play off games and the finals.

The money was a Bournemouth issue to deal with but he wanted to go where it suited him best for his Welsh career.

There you go then, not the club's fault

Broken promises is what made him leave.
Bob marra, I can only say what I have seen.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.

I've seen Neil lift a promotion cup and as he approached KLD, as soon as they both realised they were in each others presence on the awards walkway, both simultaneously turned their backs on each other in a nervous sort of way.

I've seen Neil sing "We are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen" on the Wembley turf after our playoffs win.

I've seen the team celebrate in their hotel after the playoff win and Neil was front and centre in the singing.

To say there were broken promises, these must have been pre-playoff final?
