    Sunderland job up for grabs?

    Apparently Sunderland have had to let Alex Neil speak with Stoke City as he is not under any contract to them.

    Is this the new norm managers are now looking to better their careers? Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Warney still on a rolling contract? If that's the case, then he too could speak to another club if approached.

    Also says a lot if Neil has spoken to Stoke about what their ambitions are and what funds are available to spend. It may well mean that there are not the mega bucks anymore at Sunderland and Neil sees this has a way out before any crap hits the fan.

    As far as Warney is concerned I suppose it depends what the terms of his rolling contract are.

    If offered PW would be mad to turn it down.

    Sunderland

    Then a Prem team

    Then Ingerland

    Young enough to do it

    Understand Sunderland were not paying him anything like the daft mind boggling contract Preston were paying him (£1 million per year !!). The Bet 365 team at Stoke can afford(and are stupid enough) to offer him something similar.

    Sean Dyche ideal manager for Sunderland, but have Sunderland got the money to back him,
    after it was revealed the supposedly new owner of Sunderland admitted he didn't have full
    control of the club, he didn't have the money.

    When their Chairwoman pays herself a whopping £345 Million bonus last year then......they clearly have the money. What an amazing company BET 365 is and is surely here to stay. All stated with allegedly £250k.
