Alex Neil - New head coach confirmed

[Nelson!]

You’ve missed the start of his CV off? Any reason why?

Because it’s the Scottish second division and irrelevant?

 

[SAFC_Jack]

I’d have taken Neil before the Keane saga.

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Looking at his record he came in at Norwich in January, had an excellent half season in which they went up via the playoffs. Relegated next season and done nothing since there or at Preston.

Hardly a glowing CV.

Fair enough mate. I like what I read and what I see. I was very disappointed when Parko and Johnson were appointed. Neil is a good appointment in my view but we will see.

 

[Junior Birdman]

I said earlier that he'd certainly be my choice ahead of the likes of McCann etc. Seems well thought of by most fans of clubs he's been at. I just can't help thinking we've pissed away two weeks and 6 points.

 

[lawe toppa]

Who’ll buy us ???

There will be a few wanting us man...people with ambition

 

[Northumberland Rocks]

Course they are we are all just sick of being treat like shit.
There is only so much people can take.
Speakman should be peddled and KLD and his partners Donald & Salmon pants should sell up to someone with ambition

Speakman has to go.

If KLD wants to keep him he can sell up to. His ownership so far has been pretty much disastrous.

Like I said, it’s good you can chortle.

It is. Keeps you sane. I could be flapping about like a right tatey but what good would that do? Would I look like I care more on the internet?

 

[Helmerroids]

Speaks well enough, I think he’ll steady the ship and see us okay for the playoffs.

You must be logged on to see media items

 

[Haggis Heed]

Because it’s the Scottish second division and irrelevant?

And we're English 3rd division remember

But yeah, the quality is probably similar to league 2 in fairness

 

[chuckyroll]

Hopefully in tonight ready to take training tomorrow and stand down pinky and perky

 

[Papa Smurf]

Why is win percentage important? Because Wikipedia use it?

Surely the division you were operating in is important to factor in the equation. Neil’s had a couple of seasons in the top flight to take into account, LJ mostly in lower league football.

A couple, really…However, Norwich were relegated after a single season in the Premier League. Neil had his contract terminated in March 2017,

Storey ?

 

[Mackem00]

He’s still fewming @Mackem00

He obviously just cares more than the rest of us pal. Doesn't matter that he desperately wanted a fella in who has done no more than the lad we've eventually recruited. Him and @stubber are just better fans ok?

 

[suddick mac]

Have I missed something?? Has Neil got the job??

Not yet, it's 50/50 on here as to whether we want him and Speakman is waiting until it is 80/20 against until he appoints him.

 

[BRMC]

I mean in terms of the times it's taken. They've tossed away 6 points

Or they might have done the right thing by vetting everyone properly.

Let's judge Speakman in the summer.

 

[stubber]

It is. Keeps you sane. I could be flapping about like a right tatey but what good would that do? Would I look like I care more on the internet?

Ah vanity! Some don’t care what they look like.

 

[Papa Smurf]

He’s only 40 you daft blue bastard.

40 and sacked twice already, great record for one so young!

BREAKING NEWS

ALEX NEIL WILL MAKE TOM
NICHOLS HIS FIRST SIGNING

 

[lawe toppa]

Storey ?

Why not?
What is so special about KLD Donald & Salmon pants so far?.

 

[suddick mac]

How is he not young? He's managed 2 clubs, one of which he took to the Premier league. Seems like an up and coming manager to me. Not many managers at 40 with his record surely?

It's git easy to get promoted to the Premier league though. Read it on here earlier.
