Sick. I know we’ve had a decent start to the season but this is a horrible feeling now. Must get the right man in but that’s a lot easier said than done… Dreading tomorrow.
no indication we have lost van Hecke other than a local paper who more or less say they're guessing that its probably off now.
and the common sense that Brighton will want to know who's coaching / managing him
And played some nice attacking footballMarcelo Bielsa loved it in the north of England - worked for Marseille with KLD's mam - and took Leeds up from the championship back to the big time.
He'd be amazing
Exactly, it just doesn’t work at sunderland. Hopefully one appears from somewhereyou're right and its a puzzler because the approach we seem to be taking to recruitment requires one of these "fancy new coaches"![]()
Was the one year rolling contact thing not at Neil's request? He's had the same elsewhere but as far as I'm aware we've not had anyone else on that - was Johnson (he was appointed by Speakman/KLD in all but name)?I think Manning will be on our list.
- If he's ambitious and wants to challenge himself higher up the pyramid, then we have a chance of getting him, or any other manager currently in employment.
- If security is important, like some are suggesting as the reason for Neil quitting, would Manning be willing to swap a comfy position with MK Dons for a 1 year rolling contract with us? Coaxing a manager already in employment elsewhere to join us on a rolling 1 year contract might be a hard sell.
Good job at Luton but a really poor one at Stoke. I don’t have a clue where we go from here. Sick tbhLuton manager has done well on a small ish budget would he be one worth looking at?
This we were here before neil and we were all guna be here after him no matter what the circumstances, it’s a blow but not one we can’t recover from we have a good young squad here plenty positives and plenty to attract the next managerThe Manager has f**ked off, Long live the Club.
I’ve calmed abit since dinner time, still gutted how it’s ended but we’ve recovered from worse than this, we have a good squad additions will come regardless we signed matete and Defoe (i know) without a manager, still the potential to have a very good season hereGood job at Luton but a really poor one at Stoke. I don’t have a clue where we go from here. Sick tbh
A quote from the Preston message board, Sunderland have got the best out of him before the frustrations inevitably start.
Sadly I’m just the same. I honestly can’t remember feeling worse as a manager goes. Even big Sam. Whether that’s because he stepped up and Neil has jumped down or what. Literally feeling like I don’t want to go tomorrow. I will go, but I think the atmosphere, if we don’t start well, will be dreadfulSick.

The Manager has f**ked off, Long live the Club.
just saw somebody say similar on another forum.
he's a good manager for a year and then gets impatient, apparently
Good point Wick lad. I have been pissed off since coming out if meetings and having a few conversations about the ins and outs.
But , you're correct. Club first. Always. Just wish there were better decisions getting made.

aye and whether the club were right or wrong with anything, I dont like at all that he's walked out on the club the afternoon before a match. thats just not right.
history wont look kindly on this move from him
