Wasn't he only on a rolling one-year contract though? Can't blame him for leaving for a club offering better job and financial security,Speaking of Sunderland, I did hear the rumours that Alex Neil was going to get out of his contract and move to Stoke - which did, indeed, happen. What I didn't know is that it happened on the same day as Sunderland agreed a deal to begin a third series of Sunderland Til I Die. What timing! The first two series were amazing, and I hope the series aims for the same feel and depth in the current one.
There must be some mess behind the scenes at management level, as the fans and players all loved what Neil did in getting them promoted to League One. One bright note is that they have signed Jewison Bennette, a really exciting young Costa Rican winger. I've watched him a few times, and he's really impressed. One to keep an eye on!
