Alex Neil - New head coach confirmed

[Craggsy-SAFC]

Shambles of an appointment.

[hank williams]

Least we don’t have proctor & Dodds for Saturday ( hopefully )

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Someone messaged Total Sport saying why have we appointed a manager who has been out for a while.

How long was Keane out of management man?

 

[Mowgli]

Keane was never going to get the job. Their offer will have been a token offer. Soon as speakman did his interview on Saturday, that was clear.

 

[hank williams]

Hank you wanted Warnock man

So did a few others

 

[nessen]

Read a norwich journo saying his talent was concise and simple messages to the players. So the total opposite in that sense.

Good to know. I personally think he’s a good fit. Did similar with Norwich as Keane did here. Did better at Preston than Keane did at Ipswich. Plays high press football the club wants. Doesn’t come with the diva exit risk of Keane. Other than a boost Keane would’ve brought, he probably edges it anyway.

No ideas, thankfully it’s apparently a contract till end of next season.

Phew. As I say unlike many I am really chuffed with Neil. I was happy with Ross but very disappointed with Parko and Johnson. Neil will be a good appointment (albeit a week late) but a 3 month deal would take the gloss off it. Thanks for the update.

Work with a North end fan and he wanted him out long before he was sacked...clueless substations hm ring any bells, no plan b if other team was winning hm ring any bells..let's see if the bedwetters think so

Every manager who ever gets sacked (which is the vast majority, even the good ones) get those things slung at them man. Also ‘tactically naive’ is a popular one.

 

[chuckyroll]

He’s the best person linked not called Keane to be fair.

But all this shite about “all over the world” Club needs to sack it’s PR…oh.

Agree. The thought of mcann brought a little bit of sick to the throat

Makes the appointment even worse in my view giving him longer .....but like I said previously if I'm wrong I'll hold my hands up .....

I did

 

[suddick mac]

40,000 next home game……….I think not

Does the size of the home crowd matter if we start picking up results again like?

 

[Realist]

Well Ian Wright will be over the moon to be keeping Roy Keane.

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Been corrected by downie till end of next season.

Cheers mate, that sounds much better.

 

[Boo]

Least we don’t have proctor & Dodds for Saturday ( hopefully )

I've grown quite fond of Doddsy and Proctory.

Don’t think he’s been out of management that long

 

[dj_hans]

I don't rate him but he is not odious like some of the other options were. However, I hope that fans understand that we can't expect anything from our current squad. Give him time to have a proper go next season with new players, by which time hopefully Speakman is out of the equation. The problems are higher up than the manager - the last few weeks how shown this.

McCann, Lennon, Warnock. Christ!

Really happy for him.

Wouldn’t say I’m really chuffed but I’m happy with it. If we made it a lot sooner it would have been very acceptable.

Certainly a better candidate than McCann or Lennon.
