AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[Sea to Shining Sea]

The short-term employee was a consequence of the strategy, at least in part.

If it is that, that has caused the tension, then perhaps they were not the correct picks, or at least the closest available possible picks at the time.

Strategy is all-important, coaches are replaceable.

It is. But let’s not think for a second that the strategy has always been spot on since Speakman arrived. There have been some clangers and Neil’s appointment was a fortunate consequence of a fortnight of clangers.

I think it’s going to be hard to find a competent coach at championship level as good as Neil that will be happy with ceding control and embarking on a recruitment campaign that predominantly focuses on bringing very inexperienced players.

I hope that whatever materialises here doesn’t derail us significantly. It’s mental that this is even under discussion at this stage

 

[Mackem Mad]

I’ve just done 30 years!

And I’ve done 68 years.

 

[The Rolls Royce]

According to Oddschecker, the odds have shortened dramatically unfortunately
Vic Chandler now goes 1.2

Been that price since the presser was delayed.

 

[Roker Mackem]

All our good managers, we send them to Stoke

 

[Inside Forward]

Stoke

This.

f***ing Stoke man.

 

[SAFC 2012]

Would they not respond to another manager in the same way? Dyche for example?

When was the last time our players ran through brick walls for a manager? Allardyce.

If we won’t pay Neil what he wants why would we pay Dyche.

We’d end up with an absolute journeyman. It’s what’ we do

 

[Zidane]

Has he really got permission to speak to Stoke?

 

[Safc88]

Literally our luck this like

 

[Roy Cropper]

“Hello Mr Keane it’s SAFC, would you like to come in for a 4th interview”

 

[rapscallion]

He done the same at Preston too, for the same reasons.


Maybe things aren't to his liking in terms of control of feeling hes being supported ( but as you say its unlikely it would at Stoke) maybe it's his family or maybe it's a steaming pile of crap. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Did Alec travel there on the eve of a game with his current side in the top 5 does anyone know

Was it as bad Perry?

 

[Mark E Smith]

Would be typical of us to lose our manager on the same day that those bastards up the road break their transfer record.

 

[nelford_safc]

Has he really got permission to speak to Stoke?

Yeah.

 

[OakeyStokie]

Has he really got permission to speak to Stoke?

Nobody knows. There's still nothing at our end. Deathly quiet. Nowt.

 

[Get Into Em]

Is he still scheduled for a presser at 2pm? Going to be interesting.

 

[Maravilla]

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

He's done a fantastic job so far, and that should never be forgotten given the shambles he walked into, but even if he ends up signing a new deal he's gone right down in my estimation regardless of whatever issues there are behind the scenes.

Doesn't Neil's wife live in Stoke too. I don't think she's ever moved.

 

[Angmering]

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

Who the fuck is suggesting that and its becoming clearly apparent that he probably doesn't.

 

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

Is he still scheduled for a presser at 2pm? Going to be interesting.

It'll be cancelled.

They’re only 4pts behind us
