Alex Neil and Stoke have acted disgracefully

I don’t think the location was a huge influence to be fair.

£££££? Aye, most likely.
He’s basically said it was off field stuff and his requirements( I took it as issues around recruitment)
 
Think Stoke have just taken advantage of a hole, in a competitive environment. Like if a player was on a similar contract.
The disgrace is with Neil. It wouldn't be extra decent of a manager to have a least taken the Norwich game if a PL club had come in for him. Just the way he couldn't wait to bail out, not agree to talks on Sunday or something, very slimey.
 
What goes around comes around. Karma is a bitch.

He didn’t want a long term contract, he wanted the same rolling contract so he could get out of it quickly when someone offered him more money. Keep up Tom lad.
I’m just repeating what Nick Barnes has said.
 
Why though?

They offered him more money with no other obligations on his own part. Even if he asked for more years but they said no, then why not sign the deal anyway? It didn't entail any long commitment from him, it was free money, and he retained the right to seek value elsewhere.

I mean if he wanted a 5 year deal @ 20k and they offered him a 3 year deal @10k, you could understand not signing it, because 3 years is a long time, but what we offered him was a no brainer to sign even if he didn't think it was right overall.
Tl;dr but it's bollocks anyway
 
No one did anything wrong…other than us in not being able to tie AN down to a long term contract after promotion.

We move on. This is our 20th permanent manager in 20 years. Sometimes we need to look inwardly as a club and blame ourselves ?!
 
You’d think they’d at least have the decency to tell him behind closed doors.
That report is wrong. Dean Holden was fully in the picture on Saturday morning. How any ‘reporter’ can lip read that conversation from there, given John Coates has his back to the stand is incredible.
