AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[Fred]

Thought the day couldn't be much shitter after the energy price cap confirmation, hang on though here is safc along to drop kick you squarely in the pods

Add to that it's my first day on strike as a postie, and yeah it's pretty shite all round.

 

[Sweeper]

Guarantee that Neil is far more of a canny operator than Speakman (never done this job before) and KLD (rich kid with no experience either). If he's playing games he'll win.

Or he genuinely does want to go to Stoke for whatever reason.

And yet here we are, with the (by far) most experienced and talented “football person” being third in the decision-making tree.

 

[Wild Card]

Wont Leave IMO

will end up with a better contract here.

 

[rubberface]

OK well I don't believe whoever told you that he's threatened to walk twice this summer. I am surprised you do. Look at his track record he is not one to throw his dummy out as you suggest.

I was surprised aswel when i got told.

 

[The Rolls Royce]

So the fact he is holding the press conference at 2PM means people have gone on like fannies for the last 2 years over nowt, and he isn't actually meeting Stoke today to interviewed for a job which he hasn't applied for?

No it's the multiple journalists and reputable outlets such as the Athletic all corroborating each other's reports

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

He's gone. You don't give another club permission to speak to your manager if you want to keep him.

You also don't believe everything Keith Downey says. He has put out two contradictory tweets.

 

[Red]

I might be being dramatic but no way back for him now imo.

Whats he actually done?

Everything on here, and in the media is hearsay.

 

[Perryqhill]

He'll have taken anything to get back into football. A job is a job when you're unemployed.

No he insisted on the rolling contract.

If you've got belief in yourself you're not going to take any old job as it could he damaging to your future prospect. He obviously had enough belief that he could organise the abortion Johnson had left into something half decent.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

So just shut up then and keep it to yourself. It’s obvious you don’t care if you end up looking like a tit since it’s happened that many times. Nobody on here takes you seriously anymore.

I missed this referendum.

 

[Sweeper]

KLD wants the club to be sustainable, that won’t happen if you have to replace the manager every 12 months for either being shit or a success and someone has poached him.

It won’t be long before people start to read “sustainable” as “cheap”.

 

[Coeus]

KLD wants the club to be sustainable, that won’t happen if you have to replace the manager every 12 months for either being shit or a success and someone has poached him.

Or if you give into a chap playing silly after 6 months of success. Fine lines.

Either way, if he is playing silly, I hope we call him on it.

 

[poisson]

The reasons he is leaving are very simple:

1) More money
2) Longer contract
3) Autonomy to bring in players he wants rather than solely working under a Director of Football model
4) Can move back to his family home in the north-west

99.9% of players and managers couldn't give a shiny shite about how many fans we have or how many trophies we've won before they were born.

The moving back to he with family is bull like. If you take a job on the other side of the country you move there too. Keane/O'Neil/grigg prove that it can't work.

 

[McGregor]

He apparently did exactly that at Preston, then signed a new contract for them.

Did he speak with WBA?

 

[SAFC 2012]

I might be being dramatic but no way back for him now imo.

You’re being dramatic

 

[one armed boxer]

Needs sorting today, not much of the window left.

 

[Hot Since 82]

Add to that it's my first day on strike as a postie, and yeah it's pretty shite all round.

sorry to hear you have had to strike mate. shocking state of affairs all around

 

[FanKhazric]

It's mad how the most reassuring poster on this thread is @OakeyStokie. For what it's worth, I don't think he'll go and this is all a ploy to get a new contract. It's criminal that we didn't offer him one the minute everybody's play off final hangovers ended, this was always going to happen.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

IF this is true, he can fuck off for me tbh. He's chosen to disrespect the club, players and the fans with his timing....would Stoke really have told him to fuck off if he said he'd meet with them tomorrow after the game?

He's tried to make the club look like fools by not turning up to the press conference and fucked the players over for tomorrow's game.

The bloke was out of football for a year before we gave him a chance.....what a tit!

Agree with this, if this is true then it's pathetic, snidey behaviour from Neil.

 

[Pete the Pirate]

Classic SAFC that just when you think things are starting to go well the rug is pulled from under your feet.

 

[john h]

Odds on

What’s mad Bob saying

"The Lanky Jock is shite"....IIRC......he was bang on with that pearler..
