What a job he has done so far. With other teams needing a new manager potentially they could do much much worse than try appoint AN. We need to tie him down long term.

You can't tie anyone down if they want to leave they do.
I think AN need only remember what happened to SG to realise that he is best off with us.

Another run of injuries like the recent one where our entire first choice defence was out leading to a run of defeats will soon change the sentiment on here. I think it's incredible that he's made the squad we have very competitive in this division. And it feels like his substitutions often lead to goals.
What jumped ship, lined his pockets with a few mill, did nowt at a club Jesus would struggle to turn round, left with his reputation basically intact, now linked with every championship or league 1 job that comes up and no doubt will get one.
Oh yes Neil much better here !!!!!!

Interesting to read his post-match comments yesterday, saying we have a plan, A, B, C and D. Seem to recall folk slating him during our bad run for not having a plan B! Norwich fans also. I think he’s got a point to prove here after his last season at Norwich. Come on Al, take us up!
He's doing a great job. Long may that continue.
Its really good to see that you all seem to have taken Sir Alex to your hearts
As a lifelong Hamilton Accies fan, who is proud to have seen Alex's development from silky midfielder to a very tactically astute manager I am glad that in Preston he has found a club that seems to appreciate him.
As a player Alex did not take any prisoners, he always gave 100%, played through numerous injuries to help the team out and to was not shy in dishing out a verbal battering to anyone who did not live up to his expectations. As a manager he was no different.
I always thought that the fans at Norwich never really took to him. Perhaps he wasn't the big name that they thought the deserved. Nice to see that Preston are well above Norwich just now. (long may it continue)
You'll probably find it weird but at half time during our games, you can see our fans looking at BBC sport to see how Preston are doing. Our fans seem to have adopted PNE as our official English Club.
Look after Alex and I know he'll do well by you.
Good luck for the rest of the season

Thanks enjoyed reading that
I think Norwich may regret not having a little more patience
I certainly hope so🙂
Nice one ACCIES.
We seem to be developing an interesting extended family by employing genuine people, I think that’s Cork City, Motherwell and yourselves now who are following our clubs progress.
Let’s hope we can achieve success which can be shared with all of you.

Like with SG... we've seen it so often with good players leaving us for more glamorous clubs / bigger pay packets... and so often it never seems to work out for them.
OK.. it works out for a few... but I think quite a few must have looked back and regretted leaving PNE.
Nice post, ACCIES, by the way.
Alex Neil's results are excellent. He's probably also a great bloke, but I can't be sure because I can't understand a word he says.

Norwich fans are deluded unfortunately, and believe they should be a premiership team by right. We do love
AN and I personally have a soft spot for the accies as perennial overachievers like ourselves. Is it you’s who have a player called Crawford as he is supposed to be decent?
Ali Crawford and he's not of middle eastern origin. Think it's short for Alistair. Some around here are probably aware i'm a Rangers fan but I was born and bred and lived all my life in Hamilton before moving to the US. Been to more Accies games than any other team outside Rangers.
Accies have no transfer budget to speak of. They have a system of bringing through young boys that's been highly praised. James McArthur is just one notable who came through the Accies boys system.
Was it this time last season Norwich started to have a bad run and the fans got on neils back? I think they then got through that run and were 10th and they sacked him. Well we have had a bad run under Alex with all the injuries but the difference here is we didn't jump on his back and understood the situation. We have now come through that patch and are going well again. Norwich on the other hand have gone backwards, who knows, if they'd have kept him, maybe they would have come even better again. Their loss, or gain.
Difference being Norwich had a bigger more expensive squad to get through a bad run and fans with higher expectations.
Judging by the comments posted on this post match interview video Norwich fans would gladly have him back.
