Why is it always assumed it's about money?

 

Could be for a whole host of reasons, not least family related. Let's face it, it wouldn't be the first time a spouse has decided they don't like a certain area and prefer life elsewhere so who's to say it's just for money?

 

I don't like it up here by the coast, Alex.

 

Oooh, Stoke looks nice.

Absolutely loads of examples of traditionally smaller clubs been in better positions financially. A.N will feel Stoke are in a better position to advance his career both financially and professionally, doubt the size of each clubs fanbase or size historically was part of his analysis.

Cheshire is very close and a magnet for footballers and their wives.

 

Anyway pure speculation on my part.

alex neil is a snake like lots in football . sunderland gave him a job , got promotion ,massive massive support and he wants to go to stoke what are on there way to league 1 with crowds 35% of sunderlands . i touted for him to come here weeks before he went to sunderland when d moore was struggling and had half the fans on his back . another steve bruce only £ signs interest him , be funny if he lasted 4 months at stoke got the sack and nobody else employs him again, gary monk is now in that finished washed up market.

Not sure he's putting himself on the market to be fair. Apparently minted with no need to ever work again.

For my club with Alex Neil getting poached by Stoke. 

Word is he didn't feel he was getting backed in the transfer market with the club model bringing in all under 22 players hecwanted a bit experience like every club needed .

Got a feeling we will fold like a pack of cards now and something that looked really promising will now turn into a desperate battle for survival and we will lose some of better players for rhe sheer greed of the owners  

Feel absolutely deflated now to the point of thinking of not going tomorrow after 35 years .

Very good chance we could be swapping places with your beloved club next season .

The feel good factor that's been instilled since last February just been wiped from the club in a matter of minutes 

Never mind.

Mental decision based on size of club, stature,potential. Got to be really unhappy with work conditions and board or that's a crazy decision

Shithouse of a manager going to a shithouse of a club, let him go. 

 

Sunderland will be better than Stoke long term anyway, he won't get much cash to spend there, parachute payments have gone and they have a huge wage bill, rich owners but they've been writing off debt to keep them out of FFP trouble - so far. 

 

 

Brilliant first sentence. Couldn't agree more, his teams are cheats (sorry mate, but including Sunderland). I can't believe you're not going tomorrow you seem a proper fan.

Bit surprised as Sunderland have more potential than Stoke in terms of stadium and support.

But we've had loads of smacks in the face from successful managers with us.

Catterick walked out and won the league twice with Everton.

Wilkinson ditto and won the league with L***s.

Atkinson ditto and took Villa to runners up behind Man U.

Steve Bruce ditto for Newcastle.  Didn't win anything there but he was building us into a very useful side.

 

Managers just aren't loyal.   No reason why they should be although I reckon contracts should be honoured.

do disrespect but leaving sunderland with 40000 plus fans club on the way upwards to stoke 15000 crowds  club heavy in debt and sliding towards league 1. is like a husband cheating on a supermodel and getting with a spotty faced 30 stone woman .
