Rolling contract remember. The weakness of the team in some areas was my concern going into the start of the season and still is. Clock is ticking, I think we'll be OK by the end of the window, but we don't know what AN was promised. We shall see.

That rolling contract has been a big worry I thought we might of had one if not 2 through the door this week we can’t afford the rot to set in

I think he is ruthless / selfish enough for that to be honest. He strikes me as a manager with no room for emotion and if he doesnt feel he has to tools he wont let his reputation be tarnished. Right now his stock is sky high and when it comes to sacking season it wouldnt be the biggest surprise to see clubs like Norwich or Watford press the button early. I bet the 1 year rolling thing is at his behest.

If he is still on a one year rolling deal he could leave anytime really. He is barely over forty, has a lot of life to supoort, and if some club comes up with say, a three or four year deal on similar or better money, he would be daft not to take it.

This is not far fetched either IMO. Clearly, such an offer might come from a club with lesser crowds and all the rest. But it might come with more money and certainty.

I doubt he would have asked for a one-year deal.

The lad desperately needs a change of scene and to focus on his football. There’s a cracking player still in there I’m sure.

He's taking his time to show it. He is no better than when he emerged six or so years ago. Quite a list of good managers have lost patience with him. Possibly They are not all wrong.

PSG would suit him. Show ponies all over the pitch.

With every respect is there a chance that that's a month and not per week?

The numbers dont make sense

Why give him a 52-week extension of £32k per week - at a cost of £1.7million in wages alone? Unless they think they can sell him for a lot, lot more than that?

He might easily have been in £30k a week in the first place. Everton pay high wages, and they will probably have young lads who none of us have heard of who are on over £10k a week and who haven't played any first team football. Very typical in the prem.

Just the way it is.

I think our recruitment recently has been excellent and with still another couple of weeks to go in the window,I'm sure we'll bring in what we need.
With the cards being played so close these days,it's easy for us to get frustrated and think nothing's going on....it won't be the case.
I'm also sure that Alex Neil looks happy with the progress he's made here so far and there will be a permanent longer term contract up for discussion with him at some point in the near future.
