Couldn't get through listening to his interview.
I hope what's on the pitch is a tad more interesting.

A seriously unimpressive and dour interview. Sounds like he has been on the strategy and marketing course of 4 P's - adjusted to include players. 90 days doing one P a month for the first 3 - yawn. Unable to define the role or articulate his responsibilities and measurable accountability. The reference to being a helicopter dipping in and out - oh dear. Hope his next interview is better.

A few weeks back someone posted a list of Neal’s transfers at his other clubs , tbh it scared the shit out of me , especially the strikers he signed . Does anyone know which ones this guy was involved in signing ??

Can't say I agree with the opinions posted above.
He came across as professional and no-nonsense and clearly has good pedigree in the game, here's hoping he has a positive impact and a fast one.

I do despair with Stoke fans sometimes. I am not sure what more he could have said, given the questions he was asked. He came across as a decent bloke, very thorough and professional. Let's see what happens, obviously going to be very hands on in January window.

I thought the same BUT he does seem to be organised and hands on so I'm hoping he can get a much needed structure and some accountability at the club. Only time will tell.

Wise man, he’s left himself 10 days to piss about
If he gets results I don’t care how he speaks

Was at Norwich for years to no great effect
Then he left
Then Stuart Webber came in and things immediately picked up.
Especially on the recruitment side ,where they started to flirt with promotion to the prem , whilst banking some big profits on players . A difficult but highly desirable double whammy to pull off.
Hardly a ringing endorsement, when the new guy ( Webber) has to change everything and everything immediately improves on and off the pitch

I work for the NHS , which to tbf is so big it's probably unmanageable,but the floating around in the sky like a helicopter, dipping into this and that, is the sort of drivel you get from junior managers fresh off an NHS management training course . I honestly think he believes he is here ,to walk around in a suit and get paid lots of money Desperately need this guy to prove me wrong and help bring in a striker and a keeper during January. Nobody is rubbish in both penalty boxes at both ends of the pitch and stays up . Hope he is better in action,than in words , or we are done for .

It's amazing what some of our fans whinge about. Probably best to judge him based on his performance rather than an interview, whilst taking into account that we won't see 95% of things he does/has influence on.

Just wow. What an interview that is. Elaborate please ? Anyone who's worked in any type of management anywhere will instantly recognise the asinine, meaningless bullcrap this guy came out with for 8 minutes there. It reeks of someone trying to justify their position with buzzwords and grand-sounding "timelines" that don't actually involve any action or targets. (Takes one to know one, you could say). "Helicoptering around" ffs give me strength. I can only imagine the looks on the faces of the people that do actual work at the club when this guy comes "helicoptering in" one afternoon with his action points and needs analyses. He literally could not define what his job was in any meaningful way. Unsurprising because the useless dobbins that employed him probably didn't tell him so ever likely he has to make it up on the fly in his interview. Still, the proof of the pudding is always in the eating. Nothing personal, let's hope he proves me wrong and all that

We're now approaching the end of his first 100 days. That was to include the transfer window which he would focus on (4:25). it would be interesting to hear his thoughts on how people, process, players and performance have been affected by him. More importantly how the transfer window went from his view point having acknowledged involvement in it. 4:36 How will you measure if you have been a success? 5:12 Moving up the table. Time for a half term report?

Time for a half term report? First transfer window has seen us with a rolling two players that can't be used and a lack of quality and depth in defence and up front. No wide men at all despite the manager wanting to play 433. Pretty catastrophic all in all.

If this last transfer window is anything to go by, we would have done better signing Ricky Martin the singer!!!!

3 P's...30 x 30 x 30...People, Process, sub Performance for Product We did that one at work about 20 years ago. I suppose its better to have a methodology than not have one but he ought to be able to say what his role is without sharing his methodology. The closest we got was 'helicoptering around and zooming in'Good work if you can get it!

As I said in my original post, how do you know? Maybe he did everything that the manager asked him?
