AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[woodlebert]

Sometimes you can read between the lines

It may well be a big difference of opinion over what was agreed when he was appointed with regards to recruitment. Neil perhaps wanted a bit more experience and it either hasn’t been delivered or pursued.

If he’s been given permission to speak to them I’m now leaning towards a position of replacing him anyway.

If he's on a 12 month contract, can we really stop them talking?

This press conference won’t happen. There is no way the club will put someone else in front of the press and Neil won’t want to answer questions either. It will be cancelled

Pretty cowardly if he doesn't want to answer questions Tbf, would say a lot about what he thinks of us.

Would be a very awkward conference at 2pm if he's there..u less he has signed a new deal.

What broken promises??

Like I say i am speculating, would be around securing his targets rather than Speakman's

 

[Shotton axe man]

sucking your thumb?

Rubbing shit on my face

 

[JL1985]

If it's any consolation, when playing football manager 22, my hotshot assistant, Alex Baptiste, always got headhunted by clubs, I always told him I wanted him to stay but allowed him to talk to clubs.

He told me he respected my understanding and always came back. This was at Exeter too if that helps

Neil out

Baptiste in

I can’t see the presser happening

Or it goes ahead without AN

 

[Gronkowski]

It's a right kick in the cock this like

Who’s the so-called “happy clapper” for the club today

Me, especially if he's asked to speak to Stoke. If he has I'd move him on with immediate effect

 

[rubberface]

Tbf mate, they were hardly arsed with the ticketing/club shop farce were they?

I hate to say this but the club might even see it as a bit of a win. Say £100k compensation and then appoint Dyche who would cost nothing

Dyche

One hour to go

Alex Neil is good at telling reporters that he knows nothing about what they are asking and that they seem to know more than him. If he’s staying, even if there has been talks with Stoke, he’ll act like the reporters are speaking Chinese to him.

They would need to release a statement then surely

 

[CARLOS CLASS]

I can’t see the presser happening

It has to, we have a game tomorrow

 

[Teed]

People have gone f***ing nuts.

 

[super stewart]

Best place the club has been in both footballing and positive mentality our fans..

Basically gone instantly especially if we don’t get a result tomorrow. the sol is going to be toxic

 

[woodlebert]

He's mentioned it himself, the route the club want to go down. He knows and knew what the job was

that's a fair point. our "model" hasn't suddenly changed over the summer

 

[Hank Scorpio]

An optimistic take on things might be this.

Stoke have asked for permission to speak to AN and it’s a condition of his contract that he can speak to clubs who make an approach this way.

The talks haven’t taken place yet.

Once Stoke revealed their interest the owners here schedule an emergency meeting with AN this morning in order to thrash out a new deal to ensure he stays.

No idea what’s going on but here’s hoping..

The problem is mate, a lot of the above can take place behind the scenes without anyone knowing. If Neil wasn’t interested, the club would said something

 

[Superkenwynejones]

He defo is pissed off with our recruitment.

This

Said a fortnight ago we needed 5 in.

Looks like maybe 3 with 2 of them being kids
