6088m canary 0 Posted February 28, 2017 Probably a good move to be honest.He knows the league.He will not have to worry about defending in any game except the Old Firm.He wont need to worry about formations, substitutions or tactics in general. Just stick out an XI and they should see off pretty much every side except Celtic.The current gulf between Celtic and Rangers is so vast that fans probably wouldn''t even get that upset if he lost the derbies.Can he just go now?

Capt. Pants 4,250 Posted February 28, 2017 Regardless if he stays or goes there doesn''t appear much support for Neil anymore, at least on this forum. His days here are numbered.

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted March 1, 2017 What a great set of fans/supporters we have.

At many clubs he''d have been gone long ago.With our squad a top six finish is a minimum requirement and, although we''re still in with a chance, it''s unlikely to happen. If we can get someone to take him off our hands now it saves compensation and all the unpleasantness of a sacking. A win-win surely ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Team underperforms - fans want manager out.That''s how it works. Giving up your season ticket because of it is hilarious. It''s not a sudden new thing, and it''s nothing to do with OUR supporters.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted March 1, 2017 Great Drinkell, totally hear you there.I''m of the opinion that it is far more important for many to be of the ''told you so'' ilk.Well, I''m actually well aware that our season has been quite mixed, as I''m sure all the other non ''told you so''s'' are also fully aware.So, no head in the sand from myself or most others. The facts are that we were getting good results in the first part of the season. The middle bit was atrocious. But of late, I think we''ve only lost 1 in total in X amount of games. 1 loss in 4 away games. So rather than whinging, which I don''t think is particularly deserved of late, I''m going to go to Hillsborough and hope that I can play my small part in unifying supporters with manager and team. Because without overall unity we''re f***ed and I wouldn''t give us a hope in hell of finishing in the playoffs without it. But anyway, onwards... from myself at least.

I wouldn''t want many of the people on this forum as my "friends" in a difficult time that''s for sure.[/quote] Alex Neil isn''t my friend. He has been well paid to manage the football club I love. Over that time he''s had a very successful start when he got promoted, a poor second season when he got relegated, and a very poor third season so far, where he is failing to reach even the playoffs so far, which is the minimum expectation for success this season, and a change is overdue. I suspect he''s being kept on until he definitely fails to achieve a playoff spot at which time the club can sack him more cheaply, but we won''t know for definite until that happens, if ever. There is no room for sentiment in football, but even if there was, AN has long ago exhausted the reservoir of goodwill he had built up in that initial successful period. How many relegated Prem clubs go into the next season in the Championship with the manager they started the relegation season with ? That''s how lucky AN is to be managing us.

hogesar 9,685 Posted March 1, 2017 I think there''s room for sentiment. And I think AN has been given that. Remember, he got us relegated and was applauded off the pitch on the last game. Wembley was special. He wasn''t sacked after relegation when he easily could have been. We''re now failing in the second tier. Whilst I like him, he doesn''t deserve to keep his job at the moment - he''s not earnt that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 132 Posted March 1, 2017 An impulsive reaction is seldom a good one... I feel it ''s time for a change, but a well thought over change! If we want a new manager , there has to be something about him that indicates that he will be a step forward! I have read many names on internet (Rowett, Hodgson, etc...etc...) but I haven''t come by one yet which is realistic AND makes me feel like it would be a real step forward for our club...
