This quote from Graham Potter suggests that Neal was a pain in his arse.
"I would say in terms of our relationship as two human beings. I have a lot of respect for Neal, he is a determined character, he knows his own mind, he has got his strong beliefs which is good for a coach because they can test your own," he said.
"You have compromise, you have to respect, you have trust, you have to be honest - all the things that I think are really important for being a coach, you have to be that with Neal."
Sounds very diplomatic to me.
That's aarrrr Graham. Like a circle with the corners smoothed off.
