Burnley want Alex Neil

Can only think of watmore, mclaughlin and maja who've gone to higher leagues since being in league one prior to this season. Barring Remi Matthews but he doesn't count for me.

Think there's a few in this lot who would attract Championship interest.

He did sign a long one there after the initial one.

All three would walk into our current team and had we had those three we would already be promoted this season.

I’d be surprised if he left us for a championship team tbh. Doesn’t seem like a club hopper and he’s really building something here, so would be surprised if he went for anything less than a spectacular offer (ie a premier league team). Even if we didn’t get promoted.

Ultimately I think it's up to the owner. If we don't go up I'd be surprised if they'd take him. If we do, then I think he'll stay if he knows he's got a chance. But he'll need to know that things are going to be settled, he'll be given some money to spend etc. If we actually show some ambition I think he'd stay
 
Didn't want him here in the first place, so I want to say I don't give a shite. But I can't. Given what he inherited, he's done a very good job so far. Credit where it's due. Just hope he finishes the job this season.

Don't care really he's at a bigger club now and will finish the job here.

less successful club with much less money though...
its great to finally have a manager that teams in higher leagues want..rather than one no one else wants

Burnley won't be challenging or spending any decent money.

Their best defender is going on a free transfer. Cornet will be off. Their squad is aging.

I never said we did... merely disputing the poster saying Burnley had a 'good chance of going up'.

so you think its irrelevant to whether alex neil would want the burnley job ahead of the safc job...?
i think its the most relevant fact of all..

I never once said Alex Neil wouldn't be interested in the job. Again you're jumping in.

I literally only took issue with Burnley having a 'good chance' of going straight back up. Whether Neil would go or not is irrelevant to my posts

Nobody’s queuing up to give LJ a job put it that way.

I’m impressed Alex Neil took us on at all - the team were exhausted, demoralised and streakier than a Jackson Pollock.

He’s done an incredible job, it’s no surprise other teams will be looking at him.

We had minimal expectations of him.

We were on a massive downer after the Roy Keane fiasco, the departure of Lee Johnson and the ownership revelations.

And yet he's brought us back on track against all odds.

I don't think he will leave if we can get promoted as we will have leverage to sign a new deal with him.

But if we stay down here why wouldn't he go to a relegated Premier league team?
