Alex Neil off to Stoke....

Why didn't the daft b***ds offer him a longer contract when they got promoted? Going to stoke is a sideways move at best so you'd assume he's doing it for the cash money.

I don't think he had much cash to spend on new players at Sunderland, which seems to be one of the factors involved.

A a longer, far more lucrative contract of course, but i think Sunderland made him a much improved offer anyway. once Stoke's interest became known.

No idea who they will bring in, plenty will be put off if there's no cash to bring platers in, so forget Farkle, Bielsa, Dyche and a few others I would imagine.

Really Stoke we’re in the prem when sunlun weren’t

Stoke have played in europe - sunlun haven’t ( was it one game)

I think they are similar sized.

They have a big white elephant stadium they gave tickets away for. Yes but remember joker so

They haven't won a title in about 100 years have they? They do have a bigger stadium than stoke though.

Would be interested in how their average attendances compare, I bet there won't be hugely significant difference.

Stadium size in itself is meaningless, unless you think west ham are a bigger club than Liverpool?
 
Don’t understand this, you’d think Sunderland are a greater project than Stoke, whom traditionally (except under Pulis) have been a lower league club.

So are Sunderland

They were in the second division when they won the cup.

They are a second tier team.

I don’t know for sure, but I’m guessing they’ve been in and around the top flight a lot longer than Stoke have? Before Pulis, I don’t remember anything about Stoke.

Stoke are no great shakes either btw but I’m sick of this sunlun massive club guff.

They are not and never were ( post war )

Malcolm McDonald on the three legends was asked by sunlun fans for his fave moment in the big derby.., his response I don’t have any as I never played in any as they weren’t in our league.

Btw he has loads of boro Newcastle stories.

Having a quick Google Sunderland average over 10,000 more than stoke.
