He makes all the key decisions. He didn't value Neil to a certain amount and Neil did. If speakman did, I am sure KLD would have sorted it. Speakman didn't believe Neil was worth the going rate. Stoke did. Therefore he left. I think that's a poor call from speakman.
Neil left because he wanted to leave, it happens at plenty of clubs. If a manager wants to go no point in keeping him
 
He simply wanted a rolling contract so he could leave as soon as a club nearer his home were interested. Preston to Stoke is half the travelling time of Preston to Sunderland. He could probably get more moneyas well as less compensation would be payable.

Think of the petrol money he'll be saving. Don't blame him really

Surely the only people who know what AN is on or what was offered are him and his agent and people in relevant departments at the club

Ok.

Not going round in circles again mate. Everyone has made their feelings known.
Been biking in the Peak District for 3 days so haven’t seen the whole debate. It’s clear there needs to be an adjustment in the plan, it requires flexibility and a better balance of power but we still need to have a plan and stick to it and the way he has done this is inexcusable. I can’t get why anyone would allow Neil any credit for that.

Like I’ve said before, been there don’t want to see it again, bye Neil, well done Speakman.

Not sure what Speakman has done well?! The club made it clear they didn’t want him to leave and he has left

he’s done well at spinning a line….

In a short time, you have to say Neil was a success. Promotion at the first time of asking. The way he has left has left a bitter taste and there has clearly been some tapping up going on, I thought that was forbidden? Just like Big Sam, we found a fit and everything felt good. Now, who knows what will happen. Never the less, Long live the club
