Remember him saying Stoke is a bigger club with better plan and board, so when he's done a shite job why would we have him back. I was gutted when he left but time to move on with a fresh manager

Don’t forget everyone, hit the thumbs up 👍🏼 and subscribe thank you. 🙏

I wouldn't touch Neil was quick enough to drive down Stoke

I’m open to Haland and Mbappe signing doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen… 🐍🐍🐍

Clarke and ballard will take some replacing when they leave in the summer

The model is taking us back to the first division we might have to go and get Alex Neil to get us back into the championship next year.

I think the ship has sailed with Alex Neil, what's to say he won't leave again for another club

I might be wrong... But didn't Batth leave for personal reasons, I remember reading it was something to do with family. I was the same, I couldn't believe they would let him just go

Alex Neil just wants a job. Set up / model hasn’t changed since he left, and by his own admission that’s why he left! Don’t take him back

@CR-bc1zt I didn't want him sacked. He over achieved last season massively. And they sacked him for someone worse. We won't get a decent manager now for god knows how many years unless they change the whole shit show of the model. And as for the strikers they aren't championship level and its plain to see. Rusyn runs his bollocks off every game but that doesn't score you goals. Being in the box on the end of balls does that. Crosses were getting put in on Saturday and we had nobody in the box

Youve got to be joking ! He deserted!

Good implicit point towards the end - most players are bottom end Championship quality at best. Jack Clarke and Ballard perhaps the most notable exceptions.

I was one who didn't want Alex Neil back on any terms but then I remember the great times with him in charge so I am willing to consider a return for him. Why can't we play Hemir and Rusyn together they would be a great combination. Luke Onien, Calum Styles, Corrie Evans, Bradley Dack and Patrick Roberts all with experience unfortunately three of them are missing through injury. So there is experience in the squad.

Exactly lee, we resurrected his career after preston, fucked us off when stoke showed interest fuck him.

I would say that yes o’nien tried a difficult pass into midfield and we got caught but he equalled the mistake with a goal. That should be the example to the other players. Formations and tactics are all well and good but there needs to be desire, commitment and passion to go and do something individual to make the difference cheers keep up the good work

I honestly believe if we bought a striker defensive midfielder we would of been golden

Hemir... Not a big fan of him but may as well give him a chance. Would like to have 2 up front but midfield seems way off at the moment..

Shocking play! Nothing in the last 3rd😢

Paul it’s the model, you have a goalkeeper or defender’s it takes time to mature. Team’s can wait because they are lots to choose from. Forward are different a good forward comes along very rarely so a top club don’t mind taking a risk with a potential good forward.Because if it works out he is worth his weight in gold. If it does not work out then they can still sell at a profit.

I can’t see how Doddsy gets any credit from Saturday. Bad selection, bad tactics, awful attitude from some players. The rest, totally agree!

Perhaps a better head coach is available in the summer compared to now, I don't know. In any case it might make sense to see if Dodds is a viable permanent head coach. He might have shown enough to be given untill the end of the season.

I can't believe we got Hjelde and Huggins from the same club. Huggins was ten times cheaper at 200k with ten times the skill meanwhile Hjelde costs ten times more at 2 million with ten times less skill.

Well done tho you've every reet 2 ask and want ansa's anarl a reckon our fans are worth mare than the players we've bought or borrowed and owt else arv seen it arl as auld age is waitin 4 every 1 ❤😅

I think this story is just someone being mischievious, the owners wouldn't sanction it

We've been going through manager like who knows what, The owners won't invest in anything. The only managers they want are managers that have no team to come with them, that says enough, Beale only got the Job because he wasn't contracted and he was willing to take the job under the conditions of no investment, no back room staff and no budget for players, It's above the team management where the problem lies,

The lineup we need is something like: Hemir and Rusyn up front Clarke on the left, Neil or Ekwah in midfield with Rigg and Mundle on the right Hume on the left, O Nein and Seelt in the centre and Pembele on the right. (This is my lineup for Norwich, and never in a million years will I put Hjelde in starting lineup)

Hemir and Rusyn wouldn't get into South Shields team the championship is too hard for them.

I honestly wish we could put rusyns work rate and intelligence into hemir then we have a player! Hopefully they come good, speakman is letting us down massively though.

he brought amad here and has the experience so good if he came back

Back in the day I worked for proper proper fan, I remember him saying 30 years ago Sunderland won't move forward till we get rid of the then chairman, Bob Murray, there was no change for years, Till along came Niall Quinn and things changed, We're back where we were then in my opinion, till this chairman has gone or explains why we are still losing money (or where its going) and a decent plan for the future, we're fucked, Tony did a lot better than expected but still can't back him, It's just take take take ATM the club is fucked In my opinion, And when were so close to the play offs with out investment it's just fucking mind blowing to why we can't go that extra step

Ohh for an ambitious owner.

I like him

Has anyone ever considered why he left? He clearly had the same issues that Mowbray had with recruitment and selection. This so called model is buying players on the cheap and taking a chance on them. There is a real danger that if we don't address our current decline, we are going to find next season really hard work.

Dodds must find a way of fitting Hemir AND Rusyn into the team .Couldnt understand why Dodds took Rusyn off when we were 0-2 and Hemir came on.Should have been more positive.Were missing our two most influential players in Ballard and Clarke.We dont have a replacement for Clarke now Bennette has gone so hope he is back soon.

Recon you should apply for the job.

It's a no from me on A. Neil. He walked out on us.

No thanks. With an ambitious set of owners ( not this regime) my top 3 managerial targerts would be... 1 Graham Potter 2 Roy Keane 3 Nigel Clough.

Not in million years should ANeil be allowed to return . Board didnt lose Batt he wasnt settled up here and he left for family reasons . Formation has to return to 4-4-2 and utilise hemir height and rusyn playing alongside him

Dont get Alex Neil we need a experienced manager

NO. NO. NO. NO NO

Ok guys we are in limbo till the end of the season. No chance of play offs now, new manager in the summer 🤷🏻‍♂️

He is taking the piss.

AN...snake...he burnt his bridges..

No chance mate of him coming back😂

A model of young training young will never work absolute most is to have 2 or 3 good experience players as you and I say. The young will improve quicker and better their resell rate will be higher e.g. if we still had Stewart and JC both scoring and providing would be so much higher as would his price, It's said he's valued between 15 & 25 mil if you double his assists and an extra 5 goals his value would easily be 25 to 35 so the current model isn't working its costing results future revenue even costing managers which have cost money THE MODEL NEEDS TO CHANGE

Alex Neil wants a return you've got more chance of marks and Spencers stopping open in town ..

Unless we change the crap house model we have PEP couldn’t get this team promoted surely they can see it’s not working every supporter in the land knows we need an experienced striker

i’m sorry but i would not bring him back he left us for fucking money so it’s a no from me….

Dont need another striker we just need to play 2 up top, rusyn running off hemir

Mind if you think we would do better with Gooch Batth and Pritchard I don’t know what to say None of those are good enough to get close to the squad never mind the team Batth hasn’t played at Norwich Gooch as much as he was loved wasn’t good enough and Pritchards stats as an attacking midfielder who took free kicks and corners were nothing short of terrible

The defence is shit. Hole team is shit.. F next season I'm done

I wouldn't want Neil back but it's got nothing to do with being a snake or anything like that, the reason being is Neil left because he wasn't happy with the transfer policy so if he really does want to come back it's purely out of desperation, if we had different owners and a director of football then yeah I would be open to it but under this regime no cos it wasn't the right fit before

We are sunderland, so we are likely to get 7 points out of the next 3 games and lose the 4th to QPR. Isn't that the sunderland way lol

I actually think that Alex Neil could potentially be a good appointment. IF he whole heartedly has lowered his ego to a more reasonable levels - acknowleding that he is sh*t at recruitment (like virtually every "manager"). He was a brilliant coach for us. He could be again. If he has the right attitude.

So really how can you blame the bloke? Stand up man as well who talks no bull shite. I’d open him back with open arms
