We need to go to Europe. Get a man who hasn't been poisoned by that shite. Your actually speaking shite,he has stated about managing doon south is good to get away from the bigots and bringing up his kids in the West coast environment. 1 1 Link to comment

Torry Tosser Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Has anyone actually seen a glimpse of Neil,or the press or Cormack or any fucker. 😅 Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Would have preferred someone a bit different like Thielen, but lets be serious Alex Neil is at worst competent and streets ahead of all Cormack's permanent managerial appointments to date 4 Link to comment

I will get behind whoever becomes our manager - 100%. What we need now is stability and patience. If it is Alex Neil he has the experience that we need at this time. He also had a reputation for developing youth at Hamilton with many going on to very successful careers in England. I hope the club and the fans give the manager time to develop his own team/ style of play. Link to comment

He's been sacked three times in his last four jobs for being a failure. That's the facts. If that's the best we can get then what's the point? Show a bit of ambition ffs. 3 2 Link to comment
thegodfuzzy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Neil is available now,free and a steadying appointment if it comes to pass. Thelin or someone with a reputation for playing and being able to coach the way we have seen in small measures,on the ball and front foot,would be ma own preference. However we are would suggest it unlikely we can coax a Thelin out a good job the noo. At least its not as divisive as a Lennon. Link to comment

Dandys1983 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If it's Neil and I'm not sure it is, then what you can say is he's coming here like Derek did with something to prove, if we got 3 seasons out of him and the club progressed then I'd be happy if he went back to England, but to do that he needs to make us good again.

Did a good job at Hamilton when he first became a manager. Did a good job at Norwich overall, a promotion to the premiership and wasn't miles off keeping them up either. He lasted 4 years at Preston, so clearly wasn't a complete failure there. A perennial mid-table nothing club that unsurprisingly achieved not much while he was there. Got Sunderland (an even bigger basket case of a club than us in recent years) promoted. Didn't get binned from their either, he left to join Stoke. Was shite at Stoke by all accounts. Link to comment
slippers Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Pretty mental if we have taken 6 weeks to appoint someone like Neil. Surely not? 1 Link to comment

It does make a mockery of spending however many tens (hundreds?) of thousands on this review and getting assistance identifying managerial candidates just to appoint a manager who's name has been linked every time we've been looking for a new manager under Cormack anyway 2 Link to comment

Who do you think is going to come here,of all them not in a job Neil is way up the list,or would you prefer Lennon?. Hold on Iv'e just heard that half of the managers in the EPL are interested in coming here,Pep G for one.😅😅😅 Link to comment
Tyzo_1903 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If we haven't got someone in place by the end of this international break then (even more) serious questions need to be asked how this club is being run. Link to comment
