This thread is very similar to those from December 2014 when Chris was being linked, the same sort of negative comments which were all wrong (until the end).

[Albion] Phil Neville

Doubt it. Hughton was/is a safe pair of hands. Phil Neville is a joke.

So he didn't have any input to help CH during these months that he was supposed to be helping CH keep his job then. So what was he doing during this time that we went down hill so dramatically

Bollocks! that thread was no where near THIS negative. CH clearly had pedigree, PN has very, very little. Even the negative voices back then tempered opinions with the fact that CH had performed extremely well in the Championship irrespective of his end with Norwich in the PL...
PN can't hold a candle to CH, in any way shape or form. If he wins the WC with the women's team, then that put's him at notch one of the CH scale, of about 10 notches.
You have to be having a laugh with that comparison, have to be.

Go and have a look.

I will, but I can't recall it being so disparaging, especially given where we were at that point, post the Sami revolution :/
Can I ask, are you serious re suggesting PN deserves a chance to be our manager based on his post retirement coaching career? I'd really like to understand what your expectations would be. If it's to survive ermmm just, then why have we bothered replacing CH? if it's to surge up to 10th or better, are you seriously expecting PN to have the nous to make that a reality?
I'm intrigued by this one. Potter I can kind of see as 50/50 in the potential success vs likely failure stakes, but PN has to be more 20/80... or do you have more faith?

You're entitled to your opinion. I thought Southgate was a joke before he got the England job. Fortunately Ashworth thought otherwise.
In fairness, 18k folloers were probably bought.

Honestly, I don't know. But I'm willing to trust someone who is very highly regarded and whose job it is to know these things.

Neville can do one

My biggest worry is that PN has a very decent group of women from which to build his current (excellent) England team - I'm not sure our squad is at the same level comparatively speaking... the job (England), although not easy was/is hardly a poisoned chalice. I agree he's done well to calm the waters post the mess he inherited, and as such has been a great ambassador for the FA. I can therefore see why certain people would favour him as a man... That said, I can't accept he's ready for this one, based on his actual management experience thus far and the need for us to hit the ground running in a division we really struggled to stay in this season gone. He needs to get recruitment spot on, something he (again) lacks actual experience of and there is so much more to day to day management of the players as a club manager.
I'm not deliberately being negative about the two reported candidates, but both worry me in equal measure.
Who would be better?!? I don't pretend to know. It's also worth pointing out the PN might not be interested... what happens then is, I guess, even more worrying.
Overall it's not great really, is it?

Not seen such Bravery!
It seems the World Cup does in fact rule out Neville.
From the article about Potter :

"They are prepared to wait up to a point but want their man in place to have input into what could be a busy transfer window."

I’ve never thought Neville was in the running.
The connection is a lazy one, because of Ashworth.
Secondly if your going to sack your manager the day after the season ends so you can get one in place quickly your not going to appoint someone who has a job till mid July

Maybe Neville IS being lined up for the Brighton job. The Brighton WOMEN'S job.
...freeing up Hope Powell for the senior men's first team job.
Makes sense.
