Gav was joined earlier today - to react to the news of Alex Neil's appointment as the new Sunderland AFC Head Coach - by our Martin Wanless - as well as Preston North End fan Jake Oates of From the Finney Podcast - to give us some insight as to what sort of a man Alex Neil is, and what we might expect from our new prospective saviour.

What's the crack?

• So... Is this a good appointment for us from the outside looking in?

• How exactly do the fans of Neil's former clubs feel about him?

• What sort of a managerial style should we expect, and what sort of football are we likely to see played now at the Stadium of Light?

• Why does Alex still split opinion in the North End fanbase?

• After Jake leaves the lads to get to his actual job... Gav and Martin wax lyrical about the appointment and the dreaded process it took to get us here.

• As the news of the appointment coincided with the Keane news, how did the lads feel about this appointment in that moment - just yesterday morning - compared to how they feel now?

• All we can do is back Alex to do the best he can with what he's been handed... and he's got a big job on his hands. Has the delay made that job any easier?

• Wimbledon and beyond - what are our League prospects now realistically speaking?

• All this and much more! Listen in!
