Never said he should be immune. But some perspective is needed.

No need for knee-jerk sackings and throwing clappers at him.

I don't see him distancing himself from players, seems like he's trying to motivate them.

"You wanna stay up, well stop playing crap then or making stupid mistakes etc"

        They do but buck stops with manager (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 09:55:35
        
        Would you prefer Mr Nice (Hughton) then? I don't think he ever fell out with anyone (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 10:05:10
      - ^^^ THIS ^^^ (NCFC) - Old Git, Apr 19, 09:47:40
  - I just can't understand (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 08:51:40
    - It's not that he's immune to criticism at all, (NCFC) - I Am Hoot, Apr 19, 09:25:42
      - So basically (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 09:50:43
        
        Only you can answer that as you are the first person I've seen suggesting it. (n/m) (NCFC) - I Am Hoot, Apr 19, 10:22:56
      - Never said he should be immune. But some perspective is needed. (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 09:50:22
        
        ... just don't ask me to coach you as I've done my best!! (n/m) (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 09:51:52
        
        Not what he said or meant. That's not the context. I watch his press conferences. (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 09:53:32
        
        Ok, I've of seen press conference so am only going on what I've read in the media (n/m) (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 10:00:01
        
        Fair enough. But I see and read them both, the latter tend to be snippets + not always in (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 10:07:06
      - He appears to have had very few questions asked of him (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 09:47:47
        
        Wasn't Bowkett's job to help get us out of a financial mess? (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 09:51:14
        
        Then why was he reelected at the AGM (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 09:53:21
        
        No idea. Sounds like suggesting it was (S)AN's fault though? (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 09:55:12
        
        Not at all (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 10:01:49
        
        Quite possibly. Who handles the media though? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 10:08:27
- Lost interest when as soon as it said "Alex Neil has done his best" (n/m) (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 08:44:21
  - Would you prefer he'd done less than his best? Eg. not bothered to try? (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 09:51:50
    - If he's done his best then it confirms to me that he's not up to the job (n/m) (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 09:56:28
      - His best now. When a kid is at school doing their best and just miss out on passing (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 10:09:15
        
        Are you honestly comparing being a school and being a premier league manager (NCFC) - happy clappy hughes, Apr 19, 11:45:42
        
        I'm seriously comparing how young people progress. Neil is young compared to other manager (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 12:28:30
- i suspect some not too bothered if we get relegated (NCFC) - pab, Apr 19, 08:38:09
- Funny thing (NCFC) - bullsch, Apr 19, 08:36:51
  - I still type SAN cos it's quicker, like GON (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 09:54:03
- The thing is,every year we've had in the prem. since we came up (less so the first) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Apr 19, 08:04:20
  - and lots of conceding penalties because refs love to give them against us but never for us (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 09:54:41
  - indeed. (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Apr 19, 08:30:55
