AN Press conference - CANCELLED

Aye mate, I know absolutely nothing. 😂😂😂

You're right, having a manager on a decent length contract is meaningless. It makes you wonder why 90% of teams do it. Very strange.
It’s meaningless when a manager wants to leave. If pep wanted to go tomorrow, he’d be off, regardless of city. That’s the reality of the situation and of football.

What stage you all at???
Went through the first four in about 2 hours. Will be skipping the fifth as there are far worse things that can happen. Started on number 6 and will do a speed run through seven once he’s announced at Stoke.

Nowt any of us can do about it, just got to hope for the best and not dwell on the past.
 
So is this the order of events?
AN wined and dined last Saturday with offer on the table.

AN told Stoke he needed a few days to think it over.

AN says on Thursday morning he’s going to take them up on the offer.

Stoke immediately sack their manager.

Stoke make official approach this morning.

I hope AN was man enough to tell the club earlier in the week his intentions to get a big pay rise and hump Mrs Neil every night (or at least have that option).

Acceptance. I’m not that surprised it’s happened.

I want us to act swiftly and decisively this time. It’s far from ideal we’re coming into two quick fixtures and a transfer deadline as was the case last time we were needing a new manager. It’s inevitable that Dodds and Proctor take over tomorrow but ideally someone else is appointed by Wednesday as I can see nothing other than two defeats with the two mentioned above in charge. Then we’re on 8 points from 6 and the season has a very different feel.
