It's interesting, and quite curious, how quickly the local press have turned on Alex Neil.

It seemed to happen very suddenly and almost in unison a few weeks ago now. I can't remember any other NCFC manager, except maybe Roeder, who seemed to really have got the press offside. It makes me wonder if something else has happened that we on the outside are not privy to. It's very unlike the pinkun/Rob Butler etc to really have a go at our manager so publicly, at least in my opinion anyway. I don't think it can purely be down to results, team selections, etc.

Maybe it's just me thinking about it but it certainly seems very strange.
