AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[Perryqhill]

People seem to be missing this point that it was he who insisted on the rolling contract, from what he has said in the past it then gives him the option to leave rather than being at the peril of the clubs he manages.

Leaving for Stoke would be very odd though as their constraints are similar to ours despite them being in the league above us for the past 4 years.

He done the same at Preston too, for the same reasons.


Maybe things aren't to his liking in terms of control of feeling hes being supported ( but as you say its unlikely it would at Stoke) maybe it's his family or maybe it's a steaming pile of crap. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

 

[Legend]

nope, means it renews (or doesn’t) each 12 months

I’m not sure that’s true? It doesn’t really make sense for that to be the case, in terms of security, for either AN or the club?

 

[safc_stevo]

Can someone explain why he would go to Stoke when we are prospectively going to be in a much better position than them?

This isn't a step up.

Was thinking the same..unless its for a 4 year contract or something.

 

[rapscallion]

How? Just quoting wht people are tweeting or posting about what this forum is all about? Easy you typing that behind ya keyboard eh??? Nowt funny about it at all you tit.

What, would you expect me to type it to your face like
Away man calm-down

All of who are running through brick walls for Neil?

They’d be gutted if he left. We’d be in serious bother.

Would they not respond to another manager in the same way? Dyche for example?

 

[biggie]

Transfers shouldn't be affected if Neil goes, under our "model" the likes of Speakman sort the transfers out regardless of who the head coach is. Probably one of the reasons Neil is even considering jumping ship.

Course it will, what player wants to come not knowing who the head coach is

 

[Scotty 1978]

Club should be releasing an official statement regarding this like

We will find out at 2pm

 

[Daffy]

Stoke

 

[forever changes]

Permission to talk to Stoke ! Looks like he’s off

 

[THE_MAINSTAND_BAND]

it was said earlier SAFC still saying AN will take the press conference at 2pm, that surely isn’t possible if he’s going to talk to stoke ? Doesn’t add up. Hopefully agreed terms with us

 

[Roker Mackem]

Why haven't the club came out and quashed all of this?

Because its all true?

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Look how much their club shop is open man

Monday - Friday: 9am to 5.30pm

Saturday (Non-Matchday): 9am to 5pm

Sunday (Non-Matchday): Closed

Matchday: 9am up until kick off, then after final whistle for 60 minutes

 

[TheCat99]

Only one way back from this either a new contract or he’s off. Timing is horrendous, Neill should have told his representatives to hold off until after tomorrow game.

 

[kingmonkey]

Are Doddsy and Procter still about?

 

[doon toon]

Was thinking the same..unless its for a 4 year contract or something.

Money !!

 

[KM92]

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

Solidarity fella.

 

[Sleepy]

I’m not sure that’s true? It doesn’t really make sense for that to be the case, in terms of security, for either AN or the club?

Therein lies the issue…there isn’t any. He’s basically a contractor rather than a perm employee if you will.

 

[SOLid]

According to Oddschecker, the odds have shortened dramatically unfortunately
Vic Chandler now goes 1.2

 

[Kevsgreat]

And the recruitment strategy has caused a bit of tension with two head coaches in the space of 8 months.

Seems that way, but it's caused tension with two head coaches who took the role with their stock not exactly at it's highest point and knowing they were walking into the role as head coach and not manager.

 

[Crispy32]

If he leaves, I assume it would be Proctor and Dodds incoming FFS I couldn't cope with them two clowns again
