Alex Neil - New head coach confirmed

[Howard the Duck]

I think you have a squad that’s really suited to his system. Metete and Dan Neil in midfield will stand out imo.

What was the blend of his two midfielders in the 4-2-3-1? As in two box to boxers or one sitter etc?

 

[LineTrash]

A quick check. He got 36.4%

Alex Neil got 4.3% by the way and i was one of them.

If you want the best choice, take a poll on here and go the opposite way of the majority!

sauce

How can I do that mate in all seriousness

 

[Summerbee]

It won't be a popular opinion but I think Neil is a better manager than Keane.

Logon or register to see this image

Suppose Neil is a better fit for gifs at least.

 

[Bear]

Waiting for the right opportunity but obviously our club don't match his ambition. I certainly wasn't one of the betwetters wanting Johnson out see where that has got us in a week..certainly won't be getting on this mystery machine as they ain't got a Scooby

Waiting for the right opportunity

If he hadn’t managed here before no one would want him been 11yrs out of management … it’s just sentimental crap

 

[Horace Cope]

They've just shown him again on sky sports news. Guessing they've been tipped the wink

 

[wilberforce]

Skeptical just because of the Keane stuff previously.

I know mate. I would be too.
But this is the talk around the training ground this afternoon, I PROMISE you

 

[Bear]

The amount of people convincing themselves that Alex f***ing Neil is a good appointment is really bleak.

Almost as bleak as rating Hume

some people wanted Kevin Phillips as our manager

It won't be a popular opinion but I think Neil is a better manager than Keane.

He’s certainly done it over a longer period and more recently.

 

[molthemackem]

If its Neil he needs a couple of freebie, out of contract defenders in immediately.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

I know mate. I would be too.

No reason to doubt you like.

I’d be pleased with it, experienced manager who favours aggressive attacking football.

Winston Reid I seen the other day was free

Dangerous sticking your head above the parapet in the current climate

 

[RedFlag1308]

Yea of course, problem is the way this weeks going wouldn’t be surprised if he turns us down

Also worst thing I’ve read so far is PNE fans saying that he will like Gooch

Haha don’t, I think that would tip me over the edge haha.

And I’m going to hope and assume that this is just PNE ignorance to Gooch’s skill set haha, but then again some people are into s&m

 

[seedysafc]

Neil would be a good appointment. So Grant McCann incoming

 

[Janiejones]

PNE fan on page 27 says he plays a 4-2-3-1 with fast wingers.

Yeah, I saw that too. We had one fast winger, Tom Barkhuizen, who I like, but under Alex, the emphasis was on tracking back and this seemed to negate Barky's pace and effectiveness going forward. I suppose people see things differently, but for me, someone like McGeady, wouldn't prosper under AN.

 

[wilberforce]

so how come you didn't get any info from inside the club on Keane mate? I'm not doubting you I just need putting out of my misery

Keane was kept close to their chests mate. Like I say my source is genuine, the players are hearing he's got it. I'm just passing that on
One thing I don't do is bullshit though

 

[molthemackem]

Winston Reid I seen the other day was free

So is Koselniy
