Alex Neil - New head coach confirmed

[Realist]

Simple question but what time did he become safc HC, they wouldn’t make any announcement until he’d put pen to paper and we don’t know when that was

Took training this morning, just having a kick about this morning while waiting for the ink to dry was he?

 

[MackemTackem]

Now Neil has been confirmed can some of our fans calm the f*ck down! It has been mental reading the meltdown messages on here today
Welcome to the SAFC Mad house Alex Neil

 

[sofatester]

Itll take a lot more than beating a shite team in Wimbledon to convince me. Beat MK Don's next week and things might start getting back on track.

Can't even see us beating Wimbledon tomorrow mind.

Me too mate tbh

Could be used in a more appropriate fashion. For example, the club exude rank incompetence, incoherence and amateurishness.

But that would be a different subject matter.

 

[bahtat]

Malcolm Crosby maybes?

Later than that, I’m thinking Reid or Bruce

 

[Perryqhill]

All the club had to do was say something like “ Welcome Alex Neil to SAFC. More to follow….. watch this space!!” which didn’t have to involve Alex Neil at all. But they didn’t, until journos, including the normally timid Nick Barnes, started to have their say, after which coincidentally the club issues its confirmation.
Nevertheless they’ve confirmed it now so things move on.

When the likes of Barnes is being critical saying its embarrassing then you know there's issues.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

But that would be a different context.

A more appropriate and important one at this moment in time

@Hettonlass has gone awol

Do you think he was actually LJ?

 

[Perryqhill]

The only manager that has a 12 month rolling contract that I can recall was Fergie during his later years with Man Utd.
That was on a renewable end-of-season to end-of-season basis IIRC.

Mick McCarthy had one here.

 

[70s traveller]

I think we've established that but a win tomorrow and every safc fan on here won't give a fuck what's gone on lately tbh

I reckon an awful lot will recall this shambles though?

I like Scottish managers . Real focus on the job and straight talking no nonsense attitude . If youv`e been in the forces you`ll know what i mean.

Good luck.... Alex the winning streak is on

I know what you’re saying but our last two haven’t exactly been great.

 

[Ambivalent Dave]

This club, man

They’ve absolutely forgotten who pays the wages mind. Bellends.

Wonder if he's called Gooch an 'orrible little man yet?

Two bags of Blue Circle for me like.
