Do you think most managers that want to manage in the best league in the world

would relish the chance of a relegation battle that could well end in them NOT managing in the best league in the world next year, and being seen as a failure?

Not sure managing us right now at this point in the season/relegation battle would be particularly appealing to any manager guaranteed to be better than Neil

        Ha ha. I might make a lot of the home games. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Mar 6, 22:59:10
        
        Make sure you make the Sunderland and Newcastle games pls. Could be season deciders!! (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:00:30
- The who question..... (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, Mar 6, 22:39:03
  - Let's get Jose. (n/m) (NCFC) - tim berry, Mar 6, 22:55:06
    - Ok! But what if he tries to ban our female doc though? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:08:21
  - Cheers Vivid - can you narrow it down a bit please. (NCFC) - Men without hats, Mar 6, 22:43:33
    - Whoever guarantees us premier league survival forever please (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 22:48:02
  - Which ones are better than Neil and will definitely keep us up (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 22:42:01
    - Well, they are just the ones out of a job currently, Alex Neil was employed when we got (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, Mar 6, 22:50:40
      - I really hope he can turn it around/get us above the two north east teams (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:55:01
      - Do you think most managers that want to manage in the best league in the world (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:10:23
        
        Yes, you're probably right. We should just accept it... (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, Mar 6, 23:12:50
        
        Yes I do expect him to win games, and haven't ruled out ALL hope of us pipping (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:20:18
        
        *helm (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:20:36
    - Kevin Keegan (n/m) (NCFC) - harry boulders, Mar 6, 22:49:18
      - Apart from him of course. He'll be the next sports direct manager (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 22:49:53
        
        Seriously, the club won't sack, because they'll think he'll get us straight back up again. (n/m) (NCFC) - harry boulders, Mar 6, 22:53:00
        
        Good. And then also having learnt about the premiership this season (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 22:58:12
        
        AN deserves longer imo. Even Fergie almost got sacked in the beginning. (n/m) (NCFC) - harry boulders, Mar 6, 23:02:38
        
        Precisely my point. At least 1 season in the prem, a chance to get us back up again (1st (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:06:31
        
        Could use the same rationale for Adams, he's learning his trade, he'll be better next (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, Mar 6, 23:01:54
        
        What had Adams achieved compared to Neil before their premier league debuts? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:04:09
- We are sleepwalking into dropping out of the most high profile league on the planet. (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 6, 22:00:25
  - OK Pit I agree - but same quaestion as SCC ... who? (NCFC) - Men without hats, Mar 6, 22:10:06
    - I dont want AN to get the sack. I never even hinted at that. (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 6, 22:11:52
      - Every failure is one step closer to success. Unless you're a quitter (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 22:31:45
        
        It is wearing though essex isn't it. (NCFC) - Men without hats, Mar 6, 22:37:43
        
        Yes it's disappointing. But there's enough games to stay up. It's far from over (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:14:44
      - Point taken. I don't know how either. (NCFC) - Men without hats, Mar 6, 22:20:58
        
        All good roofers were apprentices once though. That's how I see Neil this season (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:15:34
        
        I'd invest in some buckets if that's the case.... (n/m) (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, Mar 6, 23:16:55
        
        Fair play pal. I will probably have renewed hope on sat ! (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 6, 22:51:47
  - Hardly sleepwalking is it? (NCFC) - lurd, Mar 6, 22:07:27
    - 1 point since Jan 2nd is sleepwalking pal. Like a Valium induced mong out. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 6, 22:08:43
      - No, sleepwalking would suggest we've thought we weren't In any danger. (NCFC) - lurd, Mar 6, 22:11:59
        
        And we've made real attempts to improve the team (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 22:15:48
        
        Would you have preferred we didn't bother signing anyone in January then? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 22:51:24
        
        What the fuck (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 23:03:08
        
        We attempted to improve the team. Good. Glad we attempted to do so (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:16:55
        
        What even after Southampton home game ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 6, 22:14:14
        
        We were going great after that (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 22:17:35

  - Alright folks - if we sack Neil who do we get ? (NCFC) - Men without hats, Mar 6, 21:37:38
    - Very unlikely we'll sack him (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 21:42:54
      - I know you are not the 'sharpest' SCC .... but who do we get ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Men without hats, Mar 6, 21:46:12
        
        LOL getting deja vu here (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 21:52:40

        The stupidity is quite incredible (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 22:01:51
        
        Not stupidity SCC - but you need someone 'better' to replace him. (NCFC) - Men without hats, Mar 6, 22:06:32
        
        Honestly what are you going on about? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 22:12:06

        One thing about the last 9 league games (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 22:33:57
        
        Below par performances from opponents reflects well on how we set up against them (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 22:36:56
        
        Very true - on the Leicester forums they said we played really well (NCFC) - Men without hats, Mar 6, 22:39:15
        
        We played for 0-0 (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 22:45:04
        
        and it's quite obvious Neil and the team want to get the 1st goal (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 23:00:01
        
        I thought we play to stay in the game whilst trying to hit oppose on the break (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 22:53:19
        
        The Swansea game was quite similar actually (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 22:45:46
        
        You don't think we wanted to win? We had chances, and missed them (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 22:54:06
        
        Oh and their goal came from Redmond and pinto charging down the right (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 6, 22:54:35
