Alex Neil - New head coach confirmed

[andysafc24]

Apparently he constantly had his better players sold while he was at PNE

Neil would have been my choice at the start of this debacle so why am I so f***ing annoyed hes getting the job?

The time it’s taken?

Can just see him now, on the touch line, hands in pockets in the sleet as we cruise to a 2-0 defeat at home to Burton on a Tuesday night in October.

That;s the spirit mate.

I don't think the sackings have any relevance. Not many managers out there who haven't gotten the bullet at some point.

Well ..apart from those still in their first role.

Again, just in a one because of Keane/how the club has handled this.

It's just so uninspiring, but what we had to do rather than going with someone unproven

A whole boat load of them. A lot of ITKs have been relegated to RAOS or did things just 'change'?

All of them I think

 

[foggyballa]

Preston and Norwich fans both have plenty of good things to say about him. I’ve barely seen anything overly negative.

Now compare that to when Johnson came here. Bristol City fans couldn’t stand him.

Neil wasn’t my first choice, but fuck me, you’d think we’d just gave Dodds a 6 year contract

Have read some of the comments made by fans of those clubs. On that basis he sounds like a potentially decent appointment. This club has my heart so it’s often hard to be pragmatic. We’re in the 3rd tier and outside the automatic promotion spots with a team completely bereft of confidence. The managers I would want ahead of him are unlikely to touch us with a barge pole. If he gets the nod, he’ll have my backing and I hope he does well for us.

Nah, Speakman’s fault

18 month according to Keith Downie

Would seem more sensible, can hardly blame him now if we miss out.

Bottom six budget, had to sell leading scorer and others. The usual stuff. Where would you expect PNE to be realistically?

Fair enough, in that case, I think it’s an improvement on LJ. I’ll make judgement once I’ve seen more.

As a fan with no allegiance to AFCS, I think Neill will be good for you. Better than David Brent was anyway.

Good luck.

 

[suddick mac]

We need income or things could get a lot worse.

There isn't going to be a mass exodus of fans man. This place represents a small proportion of our fanbase and it's so bipolar it puts Kerry Catona to shame.

But we won't be playing Burton in The Championship next season.

Who do you support?

18 month according to Keith Downie

Will last all of 12 months if he is lucky ,obviously no money otherwise they would be approaching someone already in a job

 

[bedlington mackem]

The good old managerial merry-go-round.
Promoted to the PL, relegated, then sacked.
Didn't even make the Playoffs at Preston, sacked 16th in the league.
Helped his mate out at Crewe.
Seems like he's on an upward curve...

With all due respect i doubt that Keano would have took PNE to the play offs….they are just yoour typical mid table championship club a la Bristol City, Millwall, Blackburn etc

Same when he was at Hamilton and did okay there.

No we will be playing them in D1
