How is he similar to Parkinson

 

[gipetto]

then all i can suggest to those people is be careful of the door on the way out

So fans can't have an opinion and we just happily accept anything even if we disagree and aren't happy? Behave. That shite has helped hasten our drop to where we currently are.

 

[Raich Carter]

Shame it took 2 weeks with Methven leading the circle jerk.

Probably the best of the remaining candidates seen as though we refuse to pay compensation.

 

[wilberforce]

He’s guilty jury not out they’ve gone home !

Not just about the Keane saga for me !
Serious doubts....

 

[Ch1982]

How? Here’s me thinking real people post on the board!

Do you think people go on on here like they would in the real world? Just not worth getting wound up that’s all.

 

[Exile 1968]

He's probably the cheapest. It's like a vicious circle this. Appoint Piss Poor Manager, he's shite & we don't move forward, sack him. Rinse & repeat. GET OUT OF MY CLUB YOU f***ing CONMEN

 

[leerik_canamole]

Anyone know what his style of play is? I've read some things saying it's high press, but wondered if it involved 2 forwards. Ideally I'd like to see Defoe and Stewart together

 

[parsonjohn1985]

How many managers already sacked twice by the age of 40?

A few tbf. Bobby robson had been. Just bwfore taking over at ipswich

 

[Super Ted]

Football is all about opinions there's no right or wrong. You only know how any manager will do good or back after they've left everything else is just conjecture.

I mean 99 percent of safc fans thought O'Neil and Moyes would be great appointments because they had pedigree but look how that turned out. Chris Coleman was the next big thing after his Wales job and he turned out a poor appointment

I dont disagree with anything you’ve said here. Football is about opinions and that’s fine. I just don’t think Neil is a good fit, it certainly doesnt mean i want him to fail.

Think he plays one up top

A couple, really…However, Norwich were relegated after a single season in the Premier League. Neil had his contract terminated in March 2017,

A season with Norwich in the top flight and a season with Hamilton in the top flight (actually half a season, I apologise)

 

[Botchie]

Did he manage Mcgeady?

 

[Mowgli]

I will rephrase for Mr Pedantic. A very select few wanted Alex Neil to get the job, The significant majority didn’t want him until he was confirmed to be in final discussions today.

I do agree that people always change their mind. But do think Neil is probably a better manager than Johnson.

Did he manage Mcgeady?

Nah. Was grayson wasn't it?

 

[70s traveller]

I think he will get the best out of this squad. He is firm but fair, organizes his teams very well and has a good record of bringing young lads on. Deserves a chance IMO

He needs to get a grip on the players because some of the weaknesses in that department have been blatantly obvious. I agree he needs that chance so we'll see what effect he has. I'm happy that we've now actually got someone!

 

[Botchie]

Nah. Was grayson wasn't it?

Aye, now you've said.

 

[sofatester]

Like I say I respect your opinion my opinion of Neil is I've no idea how good or bad his appointment will be no one does. But people calling him Parkinson etc are wrong

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Officially announced?

 

[sofatester]

Not at all. I'm past saying I'm satisfied when I'm not. Of course I want him to do well, but no chance am I going to say I'm pleased with an appointment like this.

That's fair enough hopefully he proves us all wrong
