Next Head Coach

[Bob the Mackem]

Not sure if anyone is interested in this.

I was talking to a friend at the match on Wednesday, who goes with an ex player, At the match they were talking to an employee, who is another ex player, (I know another ex player haha)

They were talking about Snake Neil, it was said. Neil was on 7 grand a week when we were in league 1, then 20 grand a week when he signed the new contract.
Stoke came in and offered him him 40 grand a week.
So then Sunderland went in with 30 grand to try and keep him here. As we know, he turned it down.
Anyway thought I would pass on what I heard.

That last bit is way off.
He was on 7k p week, it went up to 12k p week he wanted 20k they offered 15k, Stoke are paying him 24k p week that's true

Cheers for this Bob. Appreciate these posts.

Saw this the other day, £24k a week pretty much puts AN on a bottom end PL salary if list is to be believed. That means Stoke are definitely paying over the odds. Our offer of 15k a week is £780k/y without bonuses seems reasonable in this context.

He's a dinosaur, one of the reason Blackburn binned him,, look at and read the papers down there.

Blackburn ended up with a fresh approach with new coaching ideas which is why JDT was appointed.

Was his idea to take them into a relegation battle

You'd think so but no, it's just that certain things stick in yer mind.

I posted a while back about JDT and how people were automatically assuming someone young, foreign and wholesome would have radial new ideas about football. That can happen but this dinosaur/visionary thing is a bit daft imo. Whenever someone's in the shyte they turn to dinosaurs like Warnock, Allardyce, Dyche, etc because they know football, outside the top six, is generally a simple game played simply by simple players.

This thread is hilarious, looking back, I dread to think what bollocks I came out with
