AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[Private Gomer Pyle]

No he insisted on the rolling contract.

If you've got belief in yourself you're not going to take any old job as it could he damaging to your future prospect. He obviously had enough belief that he could organise the abortion Johnson had left into something half decent.

People seem to be missing this point that it was he who insisted on the rolling contract, from what he has said in the past it then gives him the option to leave rather than being at the peril of the clubs he manages.

Leaving for Stoke would be very odd though as their constraints are similar to ours despite them being in the league above us for the past 4 years.

If Neil stays he’s put himself and the players under a canny bit of pressure for the Norwich game like.

 

[Pete the Pirate]

Can someone explain why he would go to Stoke when we are prospectively going to be in a much better position than them?

This isn't a step up.

He was gone days ago when stoke pulled out of a deal for a defender from Brighton. Great friends with stoke owners and has sat with them when he goes to stoke .he's already turned stoke down once but looks like he's gone and to a club that's chased him for years

Very apt username

Bollocks man

He's.on a 12 month contract, stoke might be offering 3 or 4 years.

Hopefully it just gives the club a kick up the arse to tie him down

He then gets on with the job and becomes a legend.

Not turning up to a press conference on the eve of a televised game is nothing short of insulting to everyone at our club. The blokes lost any credibility he had with his timing of this.

If this is his tactic to get a new contract, I hope KLD has already told him to get fucked!

Should be expecti a club statement soon if hes been given permission then?

 

[Sleepy]

People keep mentioning that he has 6 months left on his contract - surely a 12 month rolling contract means you always have 12 months left on it?

nope, means it renews (or doesn’t) each 12 months

 

[Papa Lazarou]

The board are going to be under massive pressure if he leaves for Stoke mind, and rightly so.

They lucked into Neil after a ridiculously poor process of replacing Johnson, and there's not a chance they'll get that lucky again.

Rediculously poor after replacing Allardyce to be honest.

Like i say, take it whichever way you want with my posts. Not holding a gun to your head..or put me on ignore

You're like a woman

Fabrizio Romano this, and prehab( "otr" ) that. Funny at least

 

[rubberface]

Why haven't the club came out and quashed all of this?

Probably just wait for the press conference.

Same boat mate. Although it’s not my first time, I’ve been at RM a long time.

Only been there 3 years so definitely first time for me. @percy has probably been through more strikes than a set of 10 pin bowling pins

Contract, control, geography

 

[Select coaches]

Nor should we. We have ample evidence that pandering to individuals is a sure fire route to overspend and poor performance.

It’s not pandering to pay someone what they’re worth

Family lives over there. And £££

 

[Perryqhill]

He didnt though, Speakman in conjunction with KLD where instrumental in the offering of that One year rolling contract....

It's not what's been rumoured. He also done the same at Preston.

 

[Deleted member 22162]

Get real. He's gone.

It'll all have been done in the background and now it's just going "official."

Not all clubs take 2 months to appoint a manager.

I generally like your posts, very informative on xG.

You’re being a bit of a melt here, mind. Just calm down and see what happens at 2pm. If he goes, it’s really not the end of the world.

Money is the only thing I can think of.

He knew the model and drill when he accepted the job.

Maybe so, but why settle for struggling or mediocrity, he wants to fight and push us on, his way. Let him do it.

Meant the transfer autonomy bit. All for paying him an appropriate wage - so long as we can afford it.
