You'd have creamed your pants 20 years ago if Pulis had walked into the G&D 😂 I’d have told him to fuck off 😂 Well I’m guessing you would have posted it on Twitter as opposed to say it to his face.

I think it's the fact they haven't for years makes it remarkable. Macari and TP maybe that's it. And that's absolutely great. Fair play to them. But let's keep it in context. I'm not being negative about them turning up (far from it) but rather, asking people to temper their expectations because of it. I think it's more what it represents regarding club unity and the message it sends about the club's approach to supporter engagement which is the significant positive from this. It's fair to say that Neil didn't make the greatest impression last season, either with our results, performances or his seemingly dour personality. One of the things that I've been worried about is that he has very little credit in the bank and a slow start next season will get the fans on his back very quickly. And the last thing we need is another early season managerial change, especially after so much of our backroom team seems to have been shaped around him, and therefore another written off season. As you say, results will dictate his fate and this may still happen. But little things like this along with some other good things from the club this summer demonstrate a respect for the supporters and a willingness to engage with them and recognise the mistakes and damage that's been caused over the last few years. And demonstrates a seemingly genuine willingness to do something about it and repair those burned bridges. Hopefully it's a small step that helps Neil to build a relationship and rapport with the supporters which hasn't been there at all thus far. And a first step towards creating that togetherness and unity that characterised our best years 10-15 years ago.

You are way too serious I really aren't i love a laugh which is why your negativity bores me. I just want you to try some new material out. Your like a comedian who was entertaining once, but has become stale by repeating the same old stuff. Come on do something new, I believe in you!

I used to like Alex Neil, but seeing he could of had a pint of Bass and went for some frothy lager instead disappoints me.
Neil Out!

This has actually reminded of the Jones badge beating after the Leeds game. So many were suckered in by that and when it was pointed it was hollow meaningless shit the reaction was the same as pointing out that is the same. People don't learn

You've got to have a dream. If you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true? Some people on here are just too scared to have a positive feeling. I know they say it's the hope that kills you, but without hope there can only be despair and misery. You know who you are!

People don't learn Neil is a million miles from Jones. I don't see anything wrong with him meeting a few fans in a relaxed non-contrived situation and getting an understanding of where the fans are at. There is literally nothing to 'learn'.

This got me thinking how many real Stoke pubs could they visit?
Shame the Black Lion went?
We should compile a list on here I’m sure they would read it lol 😂
By the way I think it’s a great initiative.

I know what he means though, if we lose the first three, it will mean Jack. Any fucker can turn up at a pub but that doesn't then make him the new messiah. It's certainly a nice touch on his part and fair play to him for taking the time out to do it but in terms of the season that lies before us, it actually means relatively little. I didn’t say he was the messiah, it’s good that they are mingling with the fans that’s all and it’s a refreshing take. Why do people have to have a downer on it. It’s positive🤷🏻♂️ I actually find it a little depressing that people would respond negatively to to be honest. It’s a bit of fun and certainly a step up from what we’ve endured since we’ve been in the championship re fan interaction “Why do people have to put a downer on it” Are you new here?

seriously? The last thing we need to do as fans is to keep the handbrake on. We've been way too pesimistic and destructive in the last few years. Full throttle! Good grief, blaming the fans now! 🙄 Every new manager we've had, the fans have (initially) been right behind them. Yeah, seriously ... But fans like you will moan and groan at the first misplaced pass, first back pass. So yeah fans do have a roll to play.
