Hilarious that we have no idea who is going to be managing the team 3.5 hours before kicking off a home game on Sky :lol:

Do these things ever happen to other clubs?
 
Let’s be honest the clubs communication skills with regards to the fans/public are pretty poor, we will be the last to know. I imagine behind the scenes they know he’s gone and have already sorted out who will be in charge for todays game.
 
Someone who has a box at the club told me Neil was on 5k a week which may have gone up after promotion and stoke are going to pay him 15k a week. I can’t believe we can’t pay the best manager we have had in years 15 grand a week! Kevin Phillips is on 5 grand a week at South Shields ffs
“The average League Two manager, per the April 2020 leak, is on £79,462.”

So you are telling me that South Shields in the 7th tier are paying their manager (who had never had a management job before) more than 3 times that?!?!?!

The average L1 manager earns £180k (Sportwetten mit den besten Wettquoten | online wetten 888 sport) which would have put Alex Neil at around 45% higher than the average when we were down there.

Average in the Championship however (same link as L1) is on £870k so if your £15k a week is right he was about 10% below the average. Figures are 2 years old but I can’t imagine they will have gone up massively, especially with the impact COVID has had on a lot of clubs. Given that we are newly promoted and the average will be skewed by some of the managers at the top end who are on lower PL salaries then it would probably have been about right before Stoke came in.

It's a shame we weren't playing stoke today at the Stadium of Light, as Alex Neil could have came out and it would have been like run around waiting to see which dugout he went in.

He has burnt his bridges

Would he turn left or right at the end of the tunnel
 
Not only a farcical situation but one displayed on national telly. Volume button in close proximity I think, I'm not sure I will be able to stand the Sky take on this.
 
The board have put us in this situation, ultimately. AN was given pap contract and for all we know, these pellets weren't going to offer him a better one. As fans it's us lot that have to suffer this sh*te. It's going to be weird come 3o'clock that's for sure.
Aye. It will be very weird 40 minutes after the match finishes.

Sorry but that's nonsense. The club are the victims with this one
 
They need to stump up some cash for someone- I can’t take another Grayson, Parkinson, Johnson appointment. Any surname that ends with on can fuck off.

If it’s come down to wages for the manager they’ve really fucked up with this one.
Parkinf***off, Grayf***off and Johnsf***off. More like it?
