Some boy ain't he. Set up completely revamped. Revolving door of staff. I mean, some of them were not up to it but a couple were very good.

It’s not good for us fans who like a bit of advance info but it’s probably good for club integrity that things are so tight now!

Me personally I’d be just as happy just getting the excitement that something was imminent as opposed to finding out their name.

Too early for me. He nearly screwed it all up last year. I know we went up but that was down to Neil and not speakman. I don't want to derail the thread but he got very fortunate. The Defoe carry on, manager lag, leaving it an age to give LJ the bullet, the Keane mess, Ken Dodd and Proc issue, leaving us with 1 fit striker.

Thanks to Neil that all was swept under the carpet.

I’m of similar opinion. I felt he was quite fortunate but at the same time you have to give him credit because it was him who employed Neil and it was him who built a squad that managed to get promoted. This season I think we will be able to make a proper judgement.

The squad was lacking massively. However, it was Neil who come in and proper sorted it. Proper football man.

But aye. This season is a good indication.

My feeling is he seems to have a thorough plan but within it makes errors of judgment. Having a plan makes a massive positive change and I think will likely move us forward - I’m not sure we’ve had one in my lifetime- but in a competitive environment those errors of judgment can mess up the plan.
