Sunderland fans have overwhelmingly backed Alex Neil to be given a long-term contract – while giving a thumbs up to not appointing Roy Keane.
In Chronicle Live’s latest survey had 1394 respondents and 90.3 percent of them thought Neil, who was appointed Sunderland 's manager in February, should be rewarded for the club's promotion to the Championship with a long-term contract. Only 3.5 percent thought he should not be, while 6.2 percent were unsure.
Neil was appointed after the dismissal of Lee Johnson, who had started the season reasonably, with the club flitting between automatic promotion spots and the League One play-off spots. However, after a 6-0 loss away to Bolton Wanderers, Johnson was dismissed.
