Parsnip Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 That's a genius move from Stoke. They'll shoot up the table now. I like Alex Neil because he looks like when they fold up pictures of Ross Kemp. Andicis, FlyBritishMidland, Day and 8 others 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So any plan they did have involved approaching Alex Neil. And now they’ve cocked that up. And Preston say there is now absolutely no way they’ll speak to them, and not only that, but they’ve now been reported.

GenBr Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Even if they approached Alex Neil legally why on earth would he want to go from a team that only needs to win its game in hand to go top of the table to a team that is rock bottom. Stoke must been completely out of their minds if they think that would work. Leeds Ram and RadioactiveWaste 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an extremely risky move to go to a club that is so poorly run on all levels and that has already damaged the career prospects of several managers in recent years. He would have to be absolutely insane to go there and Stoke are out of their minds to think they could attract someone like him considering their current situation.

LittleEatonRam Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I understand why they do it, of course, but Stoke really do like stealing other clubs' managers and ruining their reputations don't they? Why any manager currently employed would even consider going there is beyond me. TigerTedd and RadioactiveWaste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're Alex Neil and looking good with a PNE team you've build, the only possible explanation to go yo Stoke is £££££ but it wouldn't be an easy job to take on. Apparently Neil has reiterated his commitment to PNE, so, looking good for the pulis inspired miseryball stonk city fans have been craving.

Gaspode Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 On the verge of being sacked by Southampton after his post-match claims that he was one of the best managers in the game but had been forced to compromise his playing style at St Marys.....

Red_Dawn Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 A PE teacher who somehow stumbled into a Premier League side. Unbelievably out of his depth, yet the only person who doesn't seem to know that is Nathan Jones. scout's dad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like one of those managers that just clicks with a certain club and becomes synonymous with them, making them seem like world beaters, but can never recreate it elsewhere. There’s a good game. Name managers that fit into that category. I’ll start: Holloway at Blackpool. Red_Dawn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name managers that fit into that category. I’ll start: Holloway at Blackpool. Alex McLeish at Birmingham. Funny enough with McLeish, I actually think his situation when he arrived at NFFC was very much the same as what's going on with Jones. Replacing someone who had done pretty well before and was liked by the fans (O'Driscoll at Forest, Hassenhuttle at Saints), nobody wanted him and very quickly lost the fanbase. Some might suggest before his first game. Also shoutout to Brian McDermott at Reading. Edited February 6, 2023 by Red_Dawn TigerTedd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Think Jones confirmed what nearly everyone already knew, that being he's not up to level he finds himself in and that he's a bit of a tw4t. Red_Dawn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won the Eredivisie at Twente and he won the league cup and got runners up in the UEFA cup with Middlesbrough. He's done a good job for at least 3 different clubs as head coach/manager and for even more as part of the coaching team.
