I think TM was not fully aware how strict the plan was with 1 exception [dack], he is injury prone.
The sale of Ross was the right thing to do, but Batth Pritch and Gooch were probs not such a good idea.

Mowbray was perfectly entitled to give his concerns to the club ...

... not to make every press conference a moan about the squad.

I'd imagine he was warned but, perhaps for the sake of a payoff, ignored the club.

It's the easiest trick in the book, Bruce, Redknapp and Allardyce made themselves rich with it ...

... and a fair few agents into the bargain.

Managers like them want to be in control of transfers because of the backhanders imo.

Also:

"On the Head Coach search, he added that the Club consciously had a period of reflection after Michael Beale’s departure and are now engaging in meetings with prospective Head Coaches. This will flow into formal interviews and a decision."

I just can't shake the feeling that one of the main prerequisites will be it needs to be someone either out of work or really cheap.

I hope I'm wrong.

Playing devil's advocate , then surely Beale of Dodds should be sound? All youth and qualified to the hilt?

I think its a tough situation for most to do well in. We have a sporting director who things he is God and has simply too much say in all matters. All coaches have appeared to be critical of the approach he has implemented. Experience etc.

Then we have the absolute insistent that Dodds and Proctor are on the front bench and have their say.

Just those ingredients themselves make the job more difficult.

I think Bob was suggesting we need a football man of experience. Takes no ****. Standards. That experience will make up for the variables mentioned above.

Probably why the likes of Neil and Mowbray had some success over a period and Dodds and Beale have stunk the place out.

Dodds n beale dont have experience of developing players at 1st team level and are both tactically lacking

Bob was having a dig at speakman, and if he wanted to make the points you were made i certainly didnt take it that way

We wont get the perfect manager, if they ticked every box they wouldnt be managing at championship level

We need someone to set the standard off the field, that i totally agree with, doesnt need to be a hard nosed manager but has to be someone the players will respect that sets a high standard

The biggest thing is always their man management style, thats why TM was so good as he motivated the players to play better

Speakman will rightfully get criticised for his performance this season, its been poor but he has also done a lot right with the club since coming in (which some people will always forget because they dont like him)

This summer is make or break for speakman, he has to have learned from previous mistakes - the biggest thing for me is he must sign championship ready players

A couple on here baying for Speakman blood. He’s done some good but has had a nightmare recently. I’m arguing for fresh blood / additions / adjustments in first team recruitment with someone able to organise and energise better players. People like Murty being involved may help, he may know the required standard of player better than under 21 experienced lads.
