Sunderland players were told about Neil's departure by sporting director Kristjaan Speakman in a team meeting after training. Many are understood to be devastated by his departure, with some having since spoken to him on the phone.
It is understood that Neil's relationship with Sunderland's owners was part of his decision to leave. Neil was on a one-year rolling contract and was not offered contract terms that he wanted to sign. His departure could now leave Sunderland vulnerable to approaches for players such as Ross Stewart and Alex Pritchard, who are in the final year of their contracts with options to extend.
The disgusting twat should be sanctioned by the EFL (appreciate that’s unlikely). He’s brought the whole game and the integrity of the league into disrepute. A hideous human being.
