I rate Alex Neil, higher than most and the football under him was tactically great in the first 12 months. But, I know there's sections of our fanbase who would not take too kindly to that appointment, and it all falling apart behind closed doors of Covid left sour tastes in some mouths.
And I'm not sure he'd come back either under the current circumstances.

Yeah, I also liked Neil more than most, but we only just finished paying him, and he also forgot how to entertain. It's a sad no from me.
going back to something that didn't work previously is just plain mad, this seldom if ever works, Neil prostituted himself to other clubs with little thought to PNE, turgid jock too!!!!!!!

Well it takes one to know one Billy 😂
I don't think we should go back over old ground, and that includes the other Billy before his name is inevitably mentioned.

Those harping on about Moyes, Billy etc need to wake up. There is literally zero chance of either of them 2 coming back especially Davies. At least Moyes has been a manager for the past 20 years but he's miles out of our league.
We need a fresh approach but as I've said on another thread who that may be I've no idea.
In all seriousness, I'd take fucking Steve Bruce for a season than have to grin and bear this for another 10 months.

In fairness to Moyes, I think he will be in the know on what’s happening at deepdale.
Would welcome him back (however unlikely to happen) he would certainly not entertain the interference and B/S from Ridsfail and certainly would not have him anywhere near Euxton or looking at potential transfer targets.
It would be a fairytale return, but I think he’s possibly focused on the Scotland job ?
Probably won't be the last.

Last season could be described as awful and we have now scored in one of last nine league games and set a club record. The pre season was atrocious and we start with a lucky loss when it should have been five or six. Our captain has apparently had enough and leaves and star man Miller apparently would not consider resigning. Our performance last night was what could be termed pathetic. I assume that in any other business sphere that our owners would take urgent action to remedy - I always hoped that RL would be a success but assume that most peoples patience has ceased - can we please have what is termed our proud Preston back as we are apparently becoming pathetic perilous Preston.
I notice he shouts at the strikers a lot to close down the defenders, which they then do and the defender just has an easy pass to a free midfielder and they are at the half way line ready to start an attack. All the while Lowe then moans at said striker as the midfielder is free. Lowe then turns to the bench complains and they all sit down doing Jack shit.

If he had the energy, desire and style of play he started with fine. He was more tactically astute than Lowe any day of the week.
However we did end up again with a turgid style of football under Neil and he also lost the plot.
Now a young man who has now been out of work and has failed to secure new positions, might just have had a reality check and think well it wasn’t all that bad at deepdale and may return re-energised.
Lives in the area, no compensation to be paid, someone at deepdale, should be pro-active in sounding him out along with other candidates ?

I’m no fan at all but right now I’d take Alex Neil’s over thinking rather than Lowe’s no thinking in a heart beat. A shambles that Lowe was allowed to continue in May, deary me
No.
Hemmings couldn’t care less.
Ridsdale is just funding his retirement activities.
Lowe is unemployable anywhere else at this level.
Nothing changes.

It's not a choice between Neil and Lowe though. If it was, the answer would be obvious.
It's a choice between Lowe, Neil and every other manager we could attract. And if like to think at lease one of those didn't have a record of failing here.

To be fair he was great for two and a bit seasons. The problem with Neil though was once covid hit the style of football we played was shit.
At the beginning of the 20-21 season we lost five games in a row at home without scoring a goal. I didn’t think we should look back. Once Lowe leaves we need to look for a new manager not an old one. That’s just lazy.

Just ask Moyes to be ‘interim’ manager and step in to steady this shit show.
His CV wouldn’t look like he’s taken a step down just looking after an old friend who’s been ill.
