    Sacked by Speakman because Alex Neil said he didn’t have a connection with him.

    Alex Neil asked him to come in a day early to discuss plans for the season, but instead it was Speakman there who said he was being let go because Neil didn’t connect with him.

    What a scumbag Alex Neil is :D. How do you not have that chat yourself.

    you can tell by the way he’s done this, and the way he then left us on the day of a match, he’s just a little weasel with no honour.

    Didn’t have Neil down as a soft arse like, should have put his ‘big boy pants on’ and spoke to him man to man, ****house

    Was gutted when he left but hindsight is incredible, couldn’t have landed more on our feet with Mowbray

    This seems to sum up Neil. Total snake speak with forked tongue.

    Cracking bloke is Preece. Done a very good job with Patterson from what I’ve heard. Believed in him and gave him a lot of new confidence.

    Tbf I don’t think Preece wanted the job longer term. It was always a short term appointment iirc

    Neil probably wanted his own man in but didn't have the balls to say it to Preece himself. What makes the whole scenario worse is that he ****s off himself weeks later

    This I don't even know ow if Preece was good enough or a loss but it's a ****s trick to have someone sacked cause you don't get on with them, then **** off to a different job a matter of weeks later!

    Awful behaviour that. When you're in charge that is the very last thing you should do. Even allowing such an impression is toxic.

    Fair play to Preece he has stayed professional throughout but still managed to stick the knife in and turn it a bit on a very unprofessional AN who showed his colours when sitting in the stands at stoke whilst still employed by us.
