Without doubt, someone is going to be coming for Alex Neil... pretty soon. Let's assume that PNE are prepared to double his wages to try to keep him.
Scenario 1.
The new club offers AN treble his current wage. His head is bound to be turned - even if he feels professionally invested in the current project. Trev/Peter react by offering the max possible salary... let's say double his current wage... but psychologically, the offer to have his wages trebled...presumably by a bigger club, it's going to probably win over his heart/head within the first 24hrs of thinking about it, and our new and still very inferior offer isn't going to change his mind.
Scenario 2.
Peter/Trev proactively offer AN the max possible salary now... let's say double his current wage. Then someone approaches Alex with their super offer (treble his original wage). But this is now only a 50% increase on his new wage. Attractive... but not the mind-blowing compelling case of trebling his wage. Now it's no longer the 'no brainer' and he might choose to stick with us.
This big offer IS going to come Alex Neil's way. So if Trev/Peter would be prepared to double his wages.. doing it NOW could have a huge impact on the outcome..
