Alex Neil (footballer)Alex Neil (football manager) – There's a strong argument to say that Neil has already become far more notable for his management than his playing career. The article needs a rename. We could go with a bland compromise (Alex Neil (football)) but much better in my opinion would be to grasp the nettle and go for Alex Neil (football manager).

@Dweller: Alex Neil (football manager) seems fine to me... JMHamo (talk) 16:10, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with above move to "football manager".--Egghead06 (talk) 04:32, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happy with that, or the proposal. The current name is misleading, anachronistic and daft. --Dweller (talk) 11:19, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved. There is a clear consensus to follow our usual naming practices. I would suggest that anyone who wants the convention altered should start a conversation about it at WT:FOOTY. Jenks24 (talk) 05:26, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]



Alex Neil (football)Alex Neil (footballer) – Alex Neil is a footballer, not a football. Convention dictates that footballers more famous as managers remain named as (footballer), except in cases where they never played football professionally, in which case they are named (football manager). Of all the thousands of footballer articles I have seen, I cannot recall any being called (football). EchetusXe 00:27, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is recentism to override a 16 year professional football career with less than one year solely as a football manager. That is besides the point however, surely it is common sense to have the short descriptive title of footballer than football manager? Are we going to start a side project to find footballers who went on to become managers and debate which ones were more famous as managers than as players? I cannot get my head around this at all. It had the correct title of (footballer), (football manager) would be bizarre but at least it would made more sense that (football).--EchetusXe 16:09, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
