    Personally think McCann will be a terrible appointment. He got Hull promoted but they had a very strong squad in the weakest League 1 since we’ve been down here. It seemed to be in spite of McCann they went up not because of him. He also struggled with the pressure from fans at Hull so he’ll be way out of his depth here.

    It’s telling that Hull and Peterborough fans speak very poorly of him.

    I think Neil is head and shoulders ahead of him and would be a much better option. I’d rather have an unproven coach such as Kisnorbo.

    Completely deflated it is is McCann. Not the same as Parkinson but just as depressing. Really hope Football Insider are incorrect or I’m proved wrong.

    Alex Neil would be ok.

    If it’s a straight choice between him and McCann then I’d go for him all day.

    It's been abysmal since the announcement that Johnson had been sacked.
    It's a multi million pound business that's employing people not fit for purpose.

    I think Keane's been complicit in that. He led us all on with all that smiling and the suggestive comments...


    Not the first time I've been burnt that way when I think about it..

    From my limited knowledge of Alex Neil - he “fits” in many ways. But as others have said - meh.

    Keane’s ego will love the circus. This has put him back on the map as somebody seriously considering coming back to management, whilst also maintaining his “standards” view.

    The guy loves cash. You only have to look at all the adverts he pops up on now, and TV deals all over the shop.

    My ballanced view is yes he got a leauge one team promoted last season.... with a championship squad, we don't have a championship squad.

    They have tore our season apart only to appoint someone absolutely no better than what we had. Hope I'm wrong but KLD seems like a puppet or just useless.

    For me people are missing the point. It's not even really about Keane, its the whole type of appointment.

    We've tried the lower league experience card and the promotion on cv card and look where its got us, this really needs to give a lift to the whole place which is lower than I think I've ever seen it.

    McCann and Neil don't really do that do they?

    This club hasn't got a ****ing clue. What happened to "the process"?

    Alex Neil. He’s our man. If he can’t do it no one can. :1980_boogie_down:

    If he ever had any it is gone and gone forever. And it IS HIS fault. Either he doesn't go after Keane, or he does. You sort this out in a few days. Every other club does this, often in a day. But not with this amateur chancer.

    This is his responsibility and he has ****ed up in so almighty a way as should preclude him from ever working in football at this level again.

    For all the gobbledegook coming relentlessly from his inane mouth, this is an utterly rudderless ship, and he is meant to be the captain.

    I agree with you to a certain extent. Given what has been said previously, I'm surprised Edwards, Manning, Maresca, or someone else of that ilk hasn't been more closely linked.

    Alex Neil was my choice before the Keane rumours started, I'd be much happier with him than McCann.

    If they didn't realise that Keane would want more control than Johnson they should never have entertained the idea. These people should take up crown green bowling, as they clearly do not have the first clue about football.
