Crispy 4 Posted January 8, 2015 So I am struggling to work out if Neil would strengthen our squad aside from being the manager.By all accounts he''s been a consistent holding mid-fielder in Scotland and only usually plays the one. I wonder how Tettey and Johnson feel.So my question is should he concentrate on being the manager with us or can he also bring something that''s missing to our midfield ?

Bury Yellow 2 Posted January 8, 2015 As I understand it I don''t think he is intending to play much first team football if any at all.I am more concerned about the future of Phelan now that its been confirmed AM is bringing in an Assistant Manager.Can anyone enlighten me on this as I hope Phelan will stay as an integral part of the coaching set up.

BOO 0 Posted January 8, 2015 If Phelan goes this farce will go from bad to worse. Hope you''re wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 50 Posted January 8, 2015 my understanding is MP is first team coach not assistant manager - isn''t that Gary Holt/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted January 8, 2015 Dead right re Phelan, he is coach. Have we actually had it confirmed Neil is bringing an AM? It did read as such from the pinkun story about him saying goodbye to the Hamilton players, but that could just be that the story was clumsily written.

STAN 29 Posted January 8, 2015 I''m pretty sure that''s right, Holt is the assistant manager, Phelan the head coach.I feel for Holt if anybody, leaving a management role to assist Neyul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crispy 4 Posted January 8, 2015 Hopefully David McNally can see Phelan''s pedigree and mentioned during interviews for the manager role asked the question:Are you happy to work alongside Phelan? .... and expect a yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bury Yellow 2 Posted January 8, 2015 Nope Branston defo AM coming with him.Thanks for the replies chaps, I didn''t realise Holt is our current AM so it seems that MP will stay which is reassuring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary001 0 Posted January 8, 2015 Cannot see any way Phelan will stay if he did apply for the managers job , if he did not then no problems as long as the new man wants him as part of the set up . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crispy 4 Posted January 8, 2015 am sure NCFC would be pretty transparent with Phelan when he joined out about a possible plan B ... Eg. Neil Adams leaving.I fully expect him to stay.Anyway anybody have comments about the topic I started :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
