    Apparently so. But there will be a lot of water stll to flow under the bridge. Given PNE's current position, relegation would have a serious effect on the deal. They need somebody in there who can make an immediate impact. I have my doubts that GA would suit their needs.

    Does anyone actually know how much the release clause is as I have been speaking to someone who is in the know at Burnley and seems to think it's £1.2m. They seem to think Preston won't pay that and Burnley wouldn't be interested in Alexander if they parted ways with their manager.

    Seems like you and your little friend from Burnley have answered your own question.

    Robbie Keane, Steve Gerrard and Tom Cleverley seem to be on PNE shortlist.

    I would like to see Cleverley get the gig. Disrupt Plymouth a bit, who are looking good.

    Turning that round a bit. If GA did leave, I would like to see us approach Plymouth to talk to Cleverley for ourselves

    Hope GA will see them flip flopping into a week nearly of looking for a manager and seeing some of those names mentioned....PNE don't know their rear from their pointy bit of their arm.
    He is clearly the man for the job. His impact at city is far beyond anything any of those other names could get close to.
    The fact they haven't gone for him and bagged him already is great for us and hopefully alarm bells for GA.

    That said a big bag of cash...and that dreaded, bottom of league 1 outcome, M62 commute might say otherwise. But it's not exactly a great sign for GA. Robbie Keane? Lol.

    In England no. But Keane has won leagues and cups in Isreal and Hungary (his only 2 jobs) and Gerrard of course Scotland.

    GA currently has a contract until the end of the 2027/28 season. I would honestly give him another extension, even now.

    You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. He’s been absolutely fantastic for Bradford City. Make it a 5 year deal.
