Alex Neil - New head coach confirmed

[Chucky Puddin]

When do you reckon it'll be announced? Tonight?

Not sure just had the nod saying starts tomorrow though from someone at the club Pleased its him and not McCann

 

[Gaz]

Starts at SAFC tomorrow

Good luck to him, but if the 3 month contract thing is right, absolutely no long term plan by the club. If he’s the right man, give him a longer contract

 

[thecloughywobble]

Now im excited. Which means itll be Mccann.

Nah, I'm sticking by Neil. It'll be Neil, nailed on. Which means you're reet, it's McCann. Or, possibly worse, Lennon.

 

[Sallycinamon]

Why are folk getting worked up about speculation over a 3 month contract from a source which said someone else was getting the job a few hours ago?

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Why only a short term deal? Should be till end of next season as a minimum.

 

[gringo purves]

He’s a good appointment tbf. It’s not Keane but this is an upgrade on LJ.

It really, really isn’t. I’ve Seen north end enough to know that. He’s clueless, has even less of an idea how to change a game than Johnson did!

 

[lawe toppa]

Starts at SAFC tomorrow

who cares, proper pitiful manager as are the rest of the rumored short list

 

[UrbanFox]

Two weeks, no points, seven f***ing interviews and an isometric bullshit test - and Speakman is still only confident enough in this bloke to give him a 15 game contract, without a single transfer window?

This. "Structure". Is. A. f***ing. Joke.

And all that after “worldwide” interest in the job.

 

[Chucky Puddin]

Good luck to him, but if the 3 month contract thing is right absolutely no long term plan by the club. If he’s the right man, give him a longer contract

It’ll be if he gets playoff or higher it’ll trigger a longer contract I would think

 

[bedlington mackem]

It could be perceived as a strong move by the club, i.e. show us why you deserve a longer contract.

In reality though its a fence sitting move by the club and probably the re ason why the outstanding candidate has walked away

 

[Bear]

Can't say that on here!

True hes this forums Keegan

Absolute mentalists

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Who are you expecting to appoint in division 3?

Yawn

 

[Gaz]

It’ll be if he gets playoff or higher it’ll trigger a longer contract I would think

Don’t trust him much then

 

[gringo purves]

Mind you; anyone except Lennon and I’m dancing in the street!

 

[Gronkowski]

It really, really isn’t. I’ve Seen north end enough to know that. He’s clueless, has even less of an idea how to change a game than Johnson did!

Ah... but he nearly made the playoffs... so...

 

[Perryqhill]

Blame? For what? Trying to bring in someone the fans were clamouring for. Him liking it didn't add anything to the situation. Even without the like the fans would have been screaming for him to go after Keane.

Being naive mind thinking it didn't add fire to the flames. It was very early on and a lot of people weren't thinking much of it till then. Shit like that on the Internet- as we've seen over the years when signing Bent or even recently with Defoe (again) can play a big part in momentum building.

 

[thecloughywobble]

The term was not the issue or Wages.

They have considering you said it was signed seal and done, what went wrong?

What was the issue, Bob? Control? Relocation?

 

[ExileBFG]

It really, really isn’t. I’ve Seen north end enough to know that. He’s clueless, has even less of an idea how to change a game than Johnson did!

All the North End fans seem to be raving about him on Twitter. In fact Hamilton, Norwich and Preston fans all seen to hold him in really high regard. Still youve seen him a few times so would know better.

 

[bedlington mackem]

If we were only dishing out a 3 month contract, they should have got warnock in

Exactly and beforethe Doncaster game aswell

 

[Altidore Step Overs]

who cares, proper pitiful manager as are the rest of the rumored short list

I mean he's a decent appointment. Got more pedigree than Johnson, Parky or Ross, possibly even more than Keane if I'm going to be controversial.

Yawn

No suggestions then? You're just having a moan for the sake of it man
