    Alex Neil

    Being linked with us if Mason is sacked, not the worst manager, probably what we need at this point in time, Millwall playing good football at the moment, an experienced coach light years ahead of Mason, probably won?t be a popular choice amongst Albion fans
    He could bring Azeez with him, fabulous player

    As part of an interview process the questions should be - front foot - attack - pace and excitement. A strategy for youngsters would be nice ie the next Tom Fellows or thoughts on the 15 year old kid who turned out for Arsenal in the Champions League.

    There could be a vacancy coming up at Port Vale 😂😂😂😂

    Just because a manager does well at one club doesn’t mean that he’ll do well at another, plenty of examples of that. I hate this ‘sack the manager’ policy when in reality, it’s just a relatively few football matches that haven’t been won. If the critics of Alex Ferguson had been heeded and he’d been sacked by Manchester United, a great manager may never have emerged. I’m not saying that Ryan Mason is going to be a great manager, he could be, but people need a reasonable amount of time to make their mark and there’s no certainty that a replacement would do any better.

    Completely agree with this. Frank won one of his first 10 for Brentford.

    Neil is a good manager, but he has also been sacked from every club he has been at. Sometimes a manager just really fits a club and sometimes their players are underrated enough to make managers look better than they are. Sometimes it is the other way around.

    We know that some managers can pickup a team and immediately implement something that makes the team better. But I dont think I have ever seen a manager pickup a team that cant attack and immediately make them more attacking.

    Squad quality or at least having the right composite of players will always be the best determiner of whether a manager is good or bad.

    That said, I think Mason has clearly struggled with in game management and tactics. Things wont properly improve until he smartens up around this.

    Alex Heil has recently just signed a new contract with the Lions so why would he want to go to a team lower in the league.

    A very good point Claw and your football is more pleasing in the eye too. Any chance you would take Wallace back - I will drive him to London with compliments 😂😂
