Don’t worry we’ll get the little shit sacked after we tonk you next year. Getting rid of failing managers is our superpower.

First of all he is excellent. 12 hours ago 100% of people on here would have said the same but some are now revising their opinion. He’s adaptable, his in game management is superb he just knows how to manage a football team very well. He will improve you no end and it won’t take him long to do it either. I’m gutted tbh.

And when a bigger team than Stoke come knocking he will bugger off from there too

I don't think anyone's seriously claiming he's a shit manager now. They're entitled to call out his lack of integrity, though.

He did really well for us but there’s no saying another manager won’t. You’re making it sound like we had the worst 11 first team in league 1. We’ll be ok, the same people appointed AN.

Hi. I'm a Stoke fan and all I can say is sorry that it looks like we are poaching Neil! I don't know what to make of it.
My first reaction (and still now) is to be totally honest and say that I don't know why he would swap you for us! I love my club, but I know that you are a bigger club than
we are and you are on the up where we are just treading water! You can pull in 40000 or so fans and we have about 20000 regularly. Maybe 5 years ago when we were in the Prem and had much bigger appeal, I could understand it more, but it seems a strange one now. If it's purely about a bigger contract/money that we will give him then I'd be slightly worried about his reasons for coming - but who knows!
He may well be what we need as we have a very good squad potentially who should be challenging - but we've been absolute dog shite for the last 5 years!!
I feel for you though. Bizarrely, this was how we felt when Steve Cotterill left us many years ago to become Assistant Manager for you guys for those of you who remember that. Football eh!!!

Is what it is mate. Think he will do well for you. Not going to comment about him leaving as don't know the facts about it, so to make any comment is pointless really. However, he done well here and should improve you. Take care mate👍
 
He's a great manager, probably one of the best in the country at the moment but seems to worships money and has the loyalty of a cat. Harry Redknapp light.

The strange this is, Neil will never again manage a club who average over 30k. Very, very strange decision....normally this tension between manager and the board, builds up over a period of time, this seems to have happened very quickly.

I think it's been brewing fella. It's only come to a head because an opportunity has arisen.

Folks - like Monkeys - rarely let go of the branch until theres another within reach...
 
It's the way he has done this that makes me so frustrated and angry....the day before a big game and the transfer window...he must have known about this for some time which makes it worse....yes he got us promoted via the playoffs and a great run of league games....but as fans did we not play a big part in that.....until I hear anything different I feel he has treated us with contempt and disrespect which tells me a lot about him ....can't wait for his return to SOL.
