The point is this:

He asked Albion about assurances for money if we went up or stayed down.

Him signing a new deal at Preston tells you everything.

Personally didn't want him and that are better candidates out there IF we give assurances and pay the going rate.

If not, we will continue making ourselves look idiots and clueless.

Do we know this is a fact?

He said himself that there had been no contact between the club and him and this bit about wanting reassurances is reported but not quoted.

Delighted with this. Preston have had a few good results this season but are as close to 17th as they are the playoffs. They were awful yesterday, totally inept and their overall play was dire. Might as well have kept Big Dave if Neil is the answer. Let Shan see the season out and then there’ll be a good selection to pick from. Don’t think we’ll go up but that’s not the end of the world.

Heard a rumour Appleton and Shakespeare are both coming in. Appleton as the front man.

Look it up and tell me.

I do know Everton lost there in the cup though.

It was you who stated it.  Surely you had already looked it up before doing so?

That’s what I thought. Something presented as fact when just guesswork.

who's next cheapest on the list.😮
wasn't fussed about Neil coming because I think he'd be the wrong man for what s needed at the club, wouldn't be against Shakespeare coming in to help out. left it too late now for a new Manager to have much influence this season. it's going to be down to the players more than management how the rest of this season goes. are they up for the scrap of is it tummy tickling time.

We last played them away in the league in 2003/4 and lost 2-0.  This season was the first season since then.   Haven’t had too many opportunities to do well there and even Brunty wasn’t playing that long ago!

Millwall are fighting for their lives right now, that's what matters, they kept going at Sheff U yesterday and might have cost them automatic.  The end of the season does this, teams at the bottom need to get something.

Let's start a rumour that Nigel Adkins is the new odds on favourite and that we'll be making an approach after the match on Friday. Just might unsettle things at Hull and work in our favour!

I was just hoping a manager would come in so they could assess the squad properly before the summer, given the clearout that has to happen whichever league we are in.

He's gathered 80 points but surely much like Moore, he's got easily the best team? Another no from me.

Only Albion could be 4th in the league with a chance of promotion and a few good players and get turned down by a manager with no budget at a mid table club :) Love it.

Funnily enough, always thought he was very hard done by at Southampton when they replaced him with Pochettino.  Obviously worked out well for Saints but Adkins was doing well at the time.

Sorry - the Cowley brothers’ style of football would be totally rejected by our fans.

That will be what the club say now :)
Similar to when we came out after transfer deadline day and told everyone the manager didn’t want as many players as he had publically said he wanted :)

So now the manager/coach of little old PNE prefers them to us?!!!
I would just like to say a big thank you to Peace & his useful idiot Jenkins for turning my beloved club into a laughing stock. >:(
