A quote from over the road If Neil focuses on diffusion, control and a lower block, it may at least sort out our biggest weakness I haven't got a ****ing clue what it means and if it good or bad Can someone enlighten me please?
I cant help but think he wanted clubs to be aware he wanted a job. He has achieved that. Now clubs need to think he is fit for purpose.
Be that as it may. Not meaning or wanting to sound funny, but this isn't the first time I've/we've been taken in but it will be the last.
Everyone's toys back in the pram now? Some of the responses on this thread have been ****ing embarrassing. Welcome Alex Neil, now let's get this wagon back on the road. Roy who?
Good post mate.... Yes we need to get behind this guy, his job will be hard enough without disgruntled fans who won't give him a chance. Good luck Alex...you have my 100% backing... Ha'way the lads.
He is the mastermind behind our excellent media control and fan engagement department. Look how he has us all talking about the club again, it's brilliant!
Maybe they took there time, were not full convinced by any so didnt dive in offering a lomg term deal Appreciate your point about sending out the right message, maybe thats now spun to point out to AN....if your the right man, go show us you are, we are behind you 100% during this KTF we need to look at both sides of how things can appear, hopefully, although i have no clue, the reality is the positive side. win on sat, win against MK & were off running again
The parallels between that and where we are are startling....it could almost be his first team talk to us.
The aim now looks like securing a play off position, I have to admit I did say enough was enough with LJ but he would have had us in the play offs. Seems we have had a lot of upheaval & soured relations for some fans & the club for nothing. Whoever comes in will be up against it because of the clamour for Keane by a large percentage of fans. KLD is going to make mistakes along the way and this looks like the 1st big one but I still feel happy with him at the helm, he will have learnt from this and I bet the next time he sacks / replaced the manager it’s dealt with far better. I will get behind the new manager and team and pray we still go up, if we do all this will have been seen as a master stroke by KLD.
Tbf, I don't think the actual appointment of Alex Neil is where the furore is directed at. I think it's a really sound appointment. It's the whole farce around it and the way it's come about that's got people enraged. Like if he'd been appointed as soon as Johnson got sacked we'd probably be sitting on 6 points and we'd be right in the mix. It's the whole sharade and dangling of the carrot of bringing Roy Keane in and failing, the fact that Speakman and the "ownership group" don't seem to know what they're doing or they're all not pulling in the right direction, throwing Dodds under the bus, talking about processes, leaving us woefully short in defensive areas, still not having an u23s coach in place after two months, being arrogant enough to think we'd just automatically pick up 6 points no matter whos in charge of the team because it's only Doncaster and Cheltenham, the fact you've got a ****er like Methven still lingering in the background like a wet fart. I went to bed Thursday morning after a nightshift, after every man and his dog were saying Keane would be appointed that day, done deal and all that, woke up late morning fully expecting it to have fallen through. Lo and behold that's exactly what's happened. Like I say I'm fully behind Neil and think it's a good appointment, I just feel sorry for him having to work under these people.
He's fortunate that he starts with a 'winnable game' in front of a noisy packed support away from home ... ... win that and the next home game will see him get a good SOL welcome imo.
will do pal! Me, thee, Jarca and one other…. I am planning a wee golfing trip up that way to treat myself for my 50th, May / June time ideally. Watch out!
