This is not a thread to advocate that Neil become coach in any way, shape or form.
I would like to salute Neil in the way he has carried himself in extremely difficult circumstances. Sure, at times he has made some moves that have been puzzling but during this time, he has been honest, open and acted with the utmost integrity. He may not get the job next year (sounds like Paul Roos is getting more likely as we go along) but he has impressed me tremendously and I would love to see him stay on as a development coach next year.
