Today’s performance made me think. We’re in the poo if he has ‘cos Mr. Chairman’s put all his eggs in the one AN basket.

If he went on holiday during the international break he simply should be fired
And who sanctioned that ? Pathetic

If he had, he wouldn't have been the manager still. The team just doesn't have any confidence and it's self inflicted.

I have no idea but would venture that several of the team have realised what a bullshitter and charlatan this cnut is - whether that is tantamnout to "losing" the dressing room I don't know but I think many would recognise the professional need to hold your tongue and the need to suffer fools gladly to ensure the money keeps on coming......

Why are we even asking these questions now? His position is surely untenable. We are getting relegated if we dont sack him NOW

Think the performance this afternoon says it all! This was as bad as everything I can think of. We actually tried to hang on for a point at home against the bottom team of the division! The same as we did against Plymouth by the way with the same outcome. No, Neil's time is up, this is not the man to take us back to the PL.He'll actually take us down instead. He must go now, anything else is really too stupid!  |

Definitely not. He looks as though he's lost them and he sounded a broken man on the radio just. Normally he gives his bullshit excuses as though he himself believes what he is saying but not tonight. I think he knows that's it.

I honestly don’t know, some of those players have never really looked like that they’re bothered.

Junior Tchamadeu's brother criticised him on Twitter during the match today. I am not ITK, or anything like that. But you have to assume he'd keep quiet publicly if he didn't think his brother felt the same way. x.com/237APT/status/1733525081169547336?s=20 |

On the topic of the manager in Dubai, which is a disgrace if true, I’m surprised more hasn’t been made of the ‘christmas do’ after the Plymouth game unless I’ve missed it

Players are entitled to a Xmas do. Churlish to deny them. A few days off in an international window is ok... I think this was the first such break this season. I believe AN is committed to Stoke but it just isn't worling out. |

Players are entitled to a Xmas do. Churlish to deny them. A few days off in an international window is ok... I think this was the first such break this season. I believe AN is committed to Stoke but it just isn't worling out. They’re professional athletes who are so privileged it’s beyond belief and are not performing to the required standard. Entitled to one? That sums up the current bunch, entitled. Having a Christmas do is damn right amateurish given the current predicament, almost Sunday league standard. I’m not surprised we are where we are and what we have done in the past 7 years if that is the standard. How anyone from the manager to whoever makes decisions above him thought that was ok in a results based industry after another 90+ minute defeat in as many days, 3rd defeat of the week, needs to seriously look at themselves. Is this a lads club or a so called professional football club? Shouldn’t Neil have been working with the players we had during the international break? Or is there too much to work on and he escaped the responsibility and went to top up his tan? Isn’t like we’re a champions league club and had 3 quarters of the players are on duty, I’d be more understanding if so. Instead, get on the grass and improve them. It’s what his overpaid job is paying him to do. |
