He's lost 52% of his games as manager then. That has to be as bad a record as any manager in recent times. That beats even Nathan Jones, who until AN , was the biggest loser of all, losing an astonishing 47 % of games as Stoke boss .

Looking at that Percy tweet I'd say he's going It does read like a lot of ground laying for an announcement on Monday doesn't it? A few more tweets tomorrow highlighting a bit more and I reckon he's gone. My mate at Bet365 has told me Lord Dennis's Mamba has gone to be professionally cleaned, so there might be something afoot... There is absolutely no way AN will be sacked in the immediate future. They will give him the January window at least. If he did get sacked in the next few weeks we would be the laughing stock of football.

I think Neal will keep us up. We tend to improve in the second half of the season. What the ambition of the board? Just a quick question about that whole theory. When do we tend to improve in the second half of the season? Actually another question sorry. Who is Neal?

What’s the Percy tweet? Deleted twatter years ago. “ Worrying times at Stoke. Alex Neil’s #scfc record in the Championship: P51 W15 D11 L25 Pts 56 Big turnaround in the squad over the summer, and Leicester obviously very good, but mindblowing record. Owners have backed him 💯 too”

Aye I know that and I didn't pretend otherwise either? I made it clear that my views may have been bias. MON is the only manager to leave this club in a better position than when he came in for a good while. And that's a fact. MON saved us from almost certain relegation, but did little after that. I have every sympathy with MON, he inherited a poor bunch of player left by previous managers, he gave youngsters a chance, he had no money, he had players on long contracts no one else wanted, the pandemic, etc. But at the end of the day MON lost his way and created nothing and left a poor bunch of players himself. Neil has cleaned them out and assembled a bunch of more talented players who seem to want to try, but Neil seems incapable of "getting a tune" out of them. This. I think people forget how bad the situation was when MoN walked through the door. He saved us from almost certain relegation and in his first full season he stabilised the club despite FFP restrictions. We even had a couple of short dabbles around the play-offs. However, by the end of his tenure he had lost his way and looked short of ideas. Ultimately, his groundwork whilst being hamstrung by FFP is why AN was able to bring in 17 players in the summer. It was the right decision to sack him, but we can appreciate that he did a decent job.

Just for a little perspective here.
Around 18 years ago we employed a comical Dutch guy with absolutely no experience of managing in this country ,no knowledge of this league or players and a managerial record that was dubious ,and that's being kind .
He turned up to an almost decimated squad with practically no budget.And he still did better than this clown we have now plus was actually likeable and entertaining!
Off you fuck Alex !

Looking at that Percy tweet I'd say he's going Yeah it’s strange for him to tweet that if he hasn’t heard anything. Neil must be under massive pressure though and it’s not letting up anytime soon.

Football wouldn't care or notice that much and his record deserves him being sacked. In fact I doubt many would think was inevitable and not a shock in any sense

Not with Dublin picking the manager it won't. If he's picking the players and the manager ... what's the point in Ricky Martin? Not being arsey, just don't know how it works. There isn't. David Brent yes man to Neil. Dublin will and should lead the shake up

He goes mad signing an avalanche of attackers and almost no defenders ( unbalanced to say the least ) , then to put the cherry on the cake , ends up playing an 18 year old youth player up top , who was already here .
Good luck to Nathan lowe, I have seen far worst in a stoke shirt.
But is it really necessary to sign about a dozen attackers in order to go with an 18 year old who was already here and playing for Stoke u21 when AN arrived.

I love the fact that a homegrown youngster is in our team. However, it does tell you an awful lot about our summer transfer window that we are suddenly placing our hopes on an 18 year old who has only made a handful of senior appearances.

Honestly think the problem is John Coates.
Since he’s been at the helm it’s been a suit show.
Constantly backs the wrong horse and gives the keys to the kingdom.
Surely Denise is getting pissed off with this, working her nads off funding this circus.

I’d be more willing to give him a bit of time, if I could see an actual plan to the way we play football. Can anybody enlighten me to the style of football we play? All I see is…pass it side ways a few times (and if we haven’t lost possession) pass it back, and then get travers to twat it up front (or out for a throw).

I'll say it: He isn't as mad as Nath - but he's equally as shit. Get him massively fucked off now, the squirming lottery winner. To be fair to Mad Nath he didn’t get the opportunity to build a squad like AN has, and didn’t get to appoint his own technical director either. And whilst he was awful here, he has achieved brilliant things elsewhere with his own players. Something AN has never done.
