    There is no proof, anywhere.

    And, to ask the same question, what's the problem?

    You keep talking about concerns, what are they?

    Hey I like and get on with him, sat next to him at Wembley, so I hoped he would stay, but politics at home is his calling.

    Bob mate, what would Mogga or Beale gain from not spilling the beans. We know journalists hoy **** around but heaven forbid they get any back. Downie is a classic example

    the guy brought us KLD and since then we’ve transformed so he can sell and head off into the sunset with more than my blessing

    I agree with a lot of this. I would say as a bit of a counter, that this has turned into a pretty big mistake, one that could effectively have thrown away a promising season. It felt like a strange appointment that had minimal support/understanding (not just from the fanbase but from outsiders looking in) and has gone worse than probably even Beales biggest doubters could have predicted.

    Personally I think its better knowing Speakman recognised the mistake and acted quickly, like you say he put the club first there. But I'd also imagine he will have to answer to KLD for how this has turned out. You cant make too many mistakes as big as this one at Speakmans level without consequence.

    To try and turn this into a positive, KLD is young and new to the role, Speakman is relatively new to the role he has too, mistakes were going to happen and this season will end up being a learning curve from both that will hopefully see us improve even more under their leadership.

    @Bob the Mackem , if you are insinuating that KLD doesn’t want Juans shares, what would happen if some bloke who wants Juans shares also wants KLDs
    Ooh I love a good story

    Why doesn't KLD not just buy them?

    He doesn't need them, it would just be an outlay with no benefit.

    They'd only be useful if he wanted to cash them in after promotion.

    doesn’t need to. Has full control and no extra shares will change that and no new investor can either.

    much more beneficial for him to have other investors and involvement from others.

    only reason he would want 100% is to back himself to maximise his return when he eventually sells.

    You not seen this? The Twitter account of a company linked to Beale has been tweeting and retweeting stuff in defence of him. Such as a still of a camera angle showing he didn't ignore Hume.

    Can't help but wonder if the club has found out about this before the public has and its hastened his sacking.

    Do you genuinely believe that after the footage we’ve seen?

    What's certain is the guy was clearly under an incredibly unhealthy amount of pressure.

    The separation is a mercy for both parties involved I guess.

    Nah mate, it was just the post I’ve replied to that I’ve seen, it’s a still of MB in a training top. So he’s been sticking up do or himself using a different name? He’s gone now anyway, the next chapter begins.

    If its not him posting this stuff, it seems it must be someone associated with him. But yeah, its an account not in his name. It doesn't reflect well on him but after the **** he's taken, I have some sympathy. Ultimately though, it's like you say. He's gone, time to move on.
