    How so? You don't even know what is actually happening so how can you say it's been handled terribly??

    This is my thoughts, until its impossible cause there isn't enough points left to catch up that should be what we are going for. If the board don't have a manager in to take tomorrow's match they have given up and are going for play offs imo.

    Johnson was sacked last Sunday. Here we are 8 days later with Mike Dodds in charge FFS. Should’ve been sorted by now.

    Maybe so but what gives you the impression thats going to happen based on the utter turd of the last 2 games? they should have been free hits due to how poor those teams are but they have shown us up in every department, most worryingly effort being the biggest one for me.

    So you'd rather we had just appointed whoever was available instead if getting the right man in?

    Agree with that bit. Was bizarre to say the least

    Of course not, but this should’ve been sorted last week. Surely they knew who they wanted, get it sorted FFS. Did you watch that shower of ****e Saturday and listen to Speakman’s bullshit? Need to get a move on and get some proper standards into this club.

    If they announce Keane today and had only held off because Keane had insisted on fulfilling his media commitments would that still be your opinion?

    It’s all ifs and buts. Let’s see if there’s an announcement today… Happy days if there is and it’s Keane. Just feel we’ll regret going into another game with that clown Dodds picking the team.

    I agree with that. Still not sure what he was trying to achieve.

    Your previous statement was based on just as many ifs and buts but you were happy to make a definitive assertion.

    None of us know what's going on so it just seems unfair that KLD and Speakman are getting such a hammering. Especially when in 24 hours time we could be in a position with Keane as manager, Defoe and a squad full of promising youngsters and attacking threat (still needing balancing with defensive organisation and discipline admittedly).

    If I was Speakman I'd tell Dodds to **** off and let McGeady pick it or the tea lady!

    We lost 6-0, something had to be done straight away. We could not just keep a hold of him while actively looking for his replacement. It’s disrespectful and sours the club in the eyes of other respectable managers

    <laugh> Be serious man. SAFC have been far too nice for years. There’s no denying this should’ve been sorted by now.

    If we have to wait a few days to sort the right appointment if as @Prehab26 says it's done (which I believe is true), we wait. Having said that I would put Doris the tea lady in change and let her pick the team for Tuesday rather than let the 3 stooges pick the team, after Saturday's **** show.

    That lass at the academy who beat Neil in the table tennis tournament looked like she knew what she was doing
    Give her a go. :biggrin:
    Seriously though looks like Dodds will be in charge. That team needs a complete shake up
    Can't afford to lose this one.
