He is not a healthy influence, so if that is true, then I am a long way from happy with things. The bloke is an obvious chancer.
Good luck Alex, you’ll need it. Biggest club the bloke will ever manage, I’m sure he knows it.
In all fairness, anyone re-locating to take this job must be mad. You'd barely get the cases unpacked before you'd be writing packing notes a again.
Myself and the good lady were both members and will renew again soon. She loves Craighead though I prefered The Balcombe.

book us a round in then! 72 hours notice will work !!
Aye, but you wouldn't say 'im not moving up' in the first intervew though. Id keep that answer back for the sneaky third interview myself.....
Good luck with your new manager. Hope it works out well for you
As someone mentioned above, you may have dodged a bullet re Roy Keane

I don’t get many chancers to go away but I always wonder why our great away following don’t make there feelings heard against him
well, been keeping a low profile since the last game as i honestly had nowt good to say so thought it best to keep quiet.
on keane, nostalgia playing a massive part i feel (for me as well) but i figured we have the players they just needed someone to push them a bit harder and together and keane seemed to fit the bill out of those mentioned although i saw many posts wondering if he has changed, if he will walk away in a huff again or even if his time out has mellowed him, in the end none of that matters as he does not appear to have been offered the deal he wanted...the club are right not to commit to a longer contract and wanting him to locate up here and for sticking to their current policies, keane was quite right to try to get a deal that would make leaving his current line of work attractive so i am not throwing blame at anyone as we most likely will never hear the full truth, good luck to him in looking for a return to management is all i can add.
on the current owners, with all due respect i firmly believe they also got a tad caught up in the nostalgia side of things (along with defoe, going for a fan pleaser) although i do think a faster appointment would have been a major boost and possibly given us a couple more points on the board, again we will never know so pointless crying over it.
on alex neil i admit i know little about him and as yet have not done any searches as others have done that job...seems he likes to play good attacking football so he has the players at hand to do just that, if he can galvanise the defense quickly he is half way there but he appears to be quite straight talking (hopefully a change from all the 'twaddle-speak' we hear these days) and i am sure he will get the support of the owners if/when needed.
i honestly hope he has already been in to see the lads and probably had a 'kick about' or light training session and will be announced tomorrow morning (friday) and spends this evening going over some recent games, would also be nice if we announced one or two new faces to go in the back four when needed even if it is just to give the young lads a much needed break...we may even see alby get his first start.
ok, that is basically my two pence worth and i will, as ever, give the new manager/coach my full backing, welcome him to the club and allow him time to get his ideas across but hoping he can hit the ground running (big ask right now) also hope he is with us for a few years as that will mean he gets it right.

Feel a bit sorry for the bloke. The club have already gave him the worst possible start by their incompetence with this managerial process and now fans are angry because of them. I was going to just give it up for a bit as it was getting me down however this bloke really seems like he has what it takes to manage SAFC. Bit of a no nonsense kind of bloke who has already achieved what we are wanting to achieve. I’m quite excited by the prospect of him taking over. I just wish the club hadn’t messed things up so badly before and he wasn’t under pressure from the off.
That's what we need, the siege mentality, but he's got to tighten us up at the back too. We can't be going out every match day thinking we've got to score at least 2 to win the game.
Evening everyone.
Been to work and kept out of what's been going on. Had time to think about it and I've personally came to this conclusion,
Yes I'd have loved Keane back, but it would have eventually ended up a full blown **** show when he stormed out and left again. All it would have probably taken would have been a disagreement over a player or a fee and that would have been it.
Now onto Neil, why not? Managed in the Championship and the Prem all be the latter for a short time. Seems well liked and from what I remember, I'm sure he plays aggressive football? The truth is we are where we are. Hopefully he can do something with a team that up until a few weeks ago, managed to get 50 points on the board. There's something there to work with. So, let's just wait and see. Sorry if this post pisses anyone off, i just feel in the cold light of day, hearts were ruling head (mine included), but let's face it, by the end of Roy last time, he was having a go at the fans and playing injured players then stormed out.

This is a really good interview. Glad not to hear “respect the point…” haha
You must log in or register to see media
Just one thing. Apparently it was all done,dusted and agreed last Friday, yet a 2nd interview during the week? Then the hold up has been because we have to pay Forrest money for Reid etc? Then it was all done and dusted again yesterday and was going to be announced today but it all broke down between last night and this morning? Im not buying that. Starting to feel we're getting the piss taken out of us. By Whom I'm not sure.
Really like that interview, it's miles away from the "there were a lot of positives to take from the game" BS we got from Johnson come lately.
Seems like he drives that ambition to accept nothing less which is what we need.
It's only rumours in the media and social media that keep that kept saying it was done. Nobody from the club has said it was done
