Alex Neil - New head coach confirmed

Not open for further replies.

I'm not livid, like I was with both the Parkinson and Lee Johnson appointments.

Alex Neil has a CV and track record that suggests he's more than capable of getting us promoted with a decent brand of football.

However, Speakman is about to employ the fella and has already placed him on the back foot with the fans, by the ineptitude he's shown during this whole manager search process.

All this bull about Keane and "will he, won't he" lifted fans hopes, spirits and expectations, thinking/assuming he was the number one target and going to come. Only to have the rug pulled from under their feet, with a far less inspiring appointment.

That's so unfair on Alex Neil I know, as... should Speakman have done his job properly from the outset and appointed Neil straight away without any fuss, the fan base would have been quite comfortable accepting him and given him their full backing.
Now he has to win over sections of fans in the wake of the Keane fiasco and try to make them forget Keane was ever in the frame.

I sincerely hope Speakman has learned something valuable from this whole affair, as next time he needs to up his game or simply f*ck off out of our club.

I wish Alex Neil plenty luck (he's gonna need tons of it) and hope he can turn our slump around to move in the right direction.
We're are just rotting away in this rancid league. 😣

🤞

He hasn't though has he? They moved from Keane to AN, they could as easily switch to McCann or AN Other if AN starts making Keane-esque demands. I don't think our opinion holds a lot of sway with the ownership.

We count for nothing

But the void isn't filled and we've got less than 24 hours of real prep time....

I smell another fuck up
 
They will be doing his first interview with him

“Alex, what do you think about the fans here, haven’t we got loads of fans, aren’t the fans great, can you wait to see the stadium with geet loads of fans in it, can we have a shout out for the fans please, get your cock out for the fans Alex please”.

Pure cringe all of the interviews.

Maybe that’s what KS wanted to do all along? Maybe the 23 year old owner got all excited at the prospect of being a football legends boss and rushed in with the Instagram likes heaping pressure onto Speakman to include him in the equation? Maybe the finger of blame isn’t solely to be pointed at Speakman?
