Alex Neil - New head coach confirmed

[Vauxie]

So it's Neillsy now not McCannsy

 

[Sallycinamon]

Why not, clubs like Bradford, Barnsley, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Brentford, Wigan have all managed it.

Quite a lot of these clubs were promoted well before the real money started to appear in the Championship, now you need to invest quite heavily to get up (see Brentford and Bournemouth from your list). PNE’s best chance was about 20 years ago when they lost in the play-off final, these days it’s become harder and harder for clubs like them to compete at that level.

Oh he won the league with Norwich 6 years ago mate. Some are easily pleased these days.

same league keane won a lot more than 6 years ago like

Neil was probably my first choice initially when we sacked Johnson (and when we sacked Moyes) but I still can't help but feel disappointed

Me too.

 

[dj_hans]

If most fans now want Neil, it will be McCann that gets appointed.

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

So it's Neillsy now not McCannsy

Hope so.

But does anyone actually f***ing know?

We know it's not Keansy.

Very underwhelming!

 

[Sidewinder2]

“Got Preston near the playoffs”

This is how far we’ve fallen

You just ignoring the

"got Norwich to the Premier League"

His managerial CV is as good as Keanes as much as some on here won't admit it

 

[Cannonfodder]

Who did Parkinson get promoted to the Premier League??

As much charisma as an empty plastic bottle. Dream on if you think this guy will do anyhing.

 

[riffraff]

Given that he’s DoF, all of them?

“Key” All of them can’t be key players. There’s not one since Maja been worth keeping thats gone.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I dont believe it was ever going to be Keane. They've got into a position and tried to calm it and probably gave him a poor offer ao he knocks it back.

I don’t disagree mate. I know for a fact we backtracked previously when considering Keane and this time they foolishly let stuff leak and lost control of the situation.

 

[FLATHEED]

Just what we need another dour jock!! Ffs

 

[Quinns Disco Kegs]

At this point he'd be a step up from Tyrion so I'm up for it.

 

[riffraff]

Why not, clubs like Bradford, Barnsley, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Brentford, Wigan have all managed it.

They weren’t having their best players sold and operating on the fifth or sixth smallest budget in the division though.

 

[dj_hans]

Very underwhelming!

Better than McCann surely?

 

[Morse]

“Key” All of them can’t be key players. There’s not one since Maja been worth keeping thats gone.

My point was that Neil would be joining a club where a complete buffoon will be able to veto him on transfers and other footballing matters.

 

[Upthere]

Best of a bad bunch

 

[Jambezz]

Best of a bad bunch

Is it happening?

 

[Bear]

Hes utter chod no better than Johnson.. Phil parkinson all over again. Club is ran like a carousel, round and round we go. I for one won't be getting back on till these morons leave the club. Keane saw straight through them I expect. Gone from a prospective rolls Royce to a dull Robin reliant

Rolls Royce ? A bloke that hasn’t managed in 11yrs

Think some need to put their tampax back in over Keane, why’s Keane never took on another manager job in 11yr ?
