I don’t know one single north end fan who would praise him. They wanted him out for a long time, he’d scrape a win here and there to paper over the cracks but north end fans I know - plenty of them, I’ve lived here 50 years! - hated his negative style of play and lack of ability to make a decent substitution.

Yep, half a season after we’ve already fucked up any chance of automatic, so he cannot really do anything in this time here to even judge him on. Anything that happens now this season isn’t his fault, it’s the mess LJ and the owners left behind them, but he’ll get all the stick for that too

🤣 🤣🤣 🤣 🤣hope bed wetters are happy. What a joke this club is, speakman and the rest can go and do one. He will fail at this club because he like Johnson won't have time by the fans. Goodluck Alex you will need it, won't be getting anymore of my money. Another yes man for the clueless owners

Divisive shit like this is what we don't need. I called it out the other way round on Tuesday, and I'm calling this out now. Both "sides" - give it a rest.
 
If you want the players to take notice it should have been a long term contract. The players will just not play for him knowing he will be out the door in 6 months possibly. A long term manager and they have no choice but to play for him. If they are going for Neil it's wrong move giving him short term contract but time will tell.

At least we wont have to sack him in six months time!!!!!!!!!!!....................................................................
Seriously good luck to the lad and lets get behind him and the club at least until the end of the season. Maybe the play offs .

Just what we don't need, an early bounce manager who runs out of ideas in months with a record of consistent failure.

Maybe read the echo article. Element of running out of steam but sounds alright. Couldn’t help thinking he just sounds like LJ though so baffled to what’s gone on to need such a catastrophic change

So is it the fans fault or the clubs fault? You can’t seem to make your mind up.

@Dobblemackem whats your thoughts on this? We had many friendly debates over Lee Johnson.

I don’t know enough about him if I’m being totally and 💯 honest mate.

I wanted Keane so still deflated. When I’ve calmed down at the shit show this club has served up, I’ll have a dig to see what this bloke is like on paper and general opinion.

My initial impressions are, it seems a similar sort of appointment to LJ, minus the warnings we got from other fans and the obvious streaky signs.

Sorry I can’t offer more than that at this point. Still massively pissed off.
