Dan Neil


It’s almost like the management and coaching staff knew better than anyone on here.
Yip. There were meltdowns about multiple players leaving over the last couple of seasons. I can’t think of a single one (I’m sure someone will jump on to prove me wrong) has gone on to achieve anything like what they did here. You could make an argument that had Stewart been fit for the last two years we shouldn’t have sold him when we did. But we’ll never know. I get the sentimentality thing for lots of the lads that dug in and got us out of L1 & back into the Prem, but the club have had to be ruthless to progress and not make the same mistakes we have previously.
 
Think Ipswich was probably the wrong move anyways. Their manager chops and changes for fun. See it with Jack Clarke especially most weeks.
 
Dan Neil was a great player for us and captained us back to the Prem. Don’t get the need to have constant digs …
Don’t think anyone from our side is having digs against him nowadays. We’re just of the opinion he isn’t premier league quality.

Nothing wrong in saying that imo.
 
Massive shame. We have seen Neil have some great games in the Championship but his career seems to have stalled. We don't know the money situation but it appears that he should have signed a contract with us and he'd be in a much better position. I can see Hackney moving on and Dan Neil moving to Boro, which would be a good move for him. I'm not convinced there is much between Hackney and Neil. A few weeks ago some on here had written off Chris Rigg as not much more than a run of the mill CHampionship player. Rigg raises his game at every challenge and gets better and better. Had Neil got a chance in the Premier League he may well have worked hard and improved his game as Rigg has. It seems now his career will slide, although, as I say, Boro would be a really good move.
