Life is beginning to get a bit depressing for poor old John over here…
I've now reached that stage in life when my team's manager is younger than I am… #pnefc #AlexNeil

It is the start of a new era at Deepdale, and several Preston fans were quick to welcome Alex Neil to the club.
A new era begins @pnefc. Time to get behind the new manager. Welcome to Preston North End, Alex Neil #pnefc

Some Preston fans are a big fan of the tenacity Neil has shown, and are thrilled to have him at the club.
A young hungry manager working with predominantly young hungry players…good appointment this #pnefc

The quick appointment has also pleased fans, who want preparations for the new season to begin sooner rather than later.
Impressed by the swift nature of Alex Neil appointment. An assistant perhaps to join then all sorted and time now to look forward for #pnefc

Neil was not this supporter’s first choice for the job, but he is willing to get behind the team nonetheless.
He wouldn't have been my choice for Gaffer,but we've got to get behind Neil & give him our support. #PNEFC
