    Speculating what if KLD sells the club with no basis whatsoever, given you pass on snippets you do know about the club, is a little irresponsible for me. The one thing we need above everything else is stability and to see a plan through. KLD as an owner is a good pair of hands. Please let’s not create needless speculation about KLD when there is enough turmoil around the head coach position.

    And we’re blessed to have you on here cheering us all up. If only all our fans in the ground were like you. Imagine what the team could do with all those positive vibes!

    I would be very interested to see him get the job, wanting to see his tactics, in game management, I wouldnt be unhappy.

    Their season finishes 3 weeks after ours, not sure the fanbase has the patience for that.

    to be honest i'd be happy with
    still
    rohl
    heckingbottom

    with heckingbottom though my only concern is he might not have it for the prem

    the other 2 are obviously the same. but the gave me more of, the could grow with the club

    but still is who KLD would like
    his compensation also declines rapidly in the summer aswell

    agree and to be honest i'd feel more comfortable if something was announced a week before the season finishes, on lines off something like 'this is who we'll be going in the new season with '

    I’m not sold on this Will Still fella, I had never heard of him until TM was sacked. I want someone proven and who knows what we are all about. I would still like OGS, whoever it is could be a god here if he gets us back to where we belong.

    If it is still we are waiting for I hope he’s giving us assurances he wants to come and we aren’t waiting on a what if, and potentially lose out on other options waiting on a maybe

    If Will Still is actually the man they've been chasing since Mowbray, and we eventually get him in the summer. Will it appease the fans who believe we've wasted a third of a season? Seen as they waited for the top target? Suppose it depends if he's any good or not <laugh>

    An almost entirely self inflicted bad spell/regression due to mismanagement at senior levels in the club.

    Still is an interesting one and he certainly has the attributes to be a good manager. It’s a risk, but no more than any other appointment really.

    At least he has a better record that Beale.

    I still think we are limited to certain managers due to the seeming inflexibility of the transfer “model”. Hopefully the club can see this too and will be willing to relax it a little bit.

    He must be doing something right if he's early 30s and is taking a low budget team to upper mid table in Ligue 1. The club have probably done the right thing in waiting for him if the compo was actually 5mill in December, although someone has messed up not doing proper due diligence on his contract. Probably shouldn't have appointed Beale like <laugh>.
    I think we'll see a slight shift. Getting some money in for Clarke will see them shopping in a different pool for players, hopefully the correct ones. I still don't think we'll see many 30+ year olds but maybe some 24 -27 who have good pedigree and games under their belt.
    We'll probably see some more expensive younger ones come in aswell. Someone like Nico o'reilly or of similar ilk.

    Got to laugh at ‘plod along as a feeder club’

    Some hungry ****ing clubs waiting to be fed given we have only sold a crock.

    Absolutely bewilders me that craic. Every window we are selling the Crown Jewels, folk get all over it, bite in it and bizarrely hang into it after the fact, when we sell nobody of value.

    We hit the jackpot with Stewart.

    If Cirkin and Huggins had been fit we’d be in a playoff place. Not a doubt in my mind.

    A clean sweep of everything is exactly what we don't need, patience from fans is what is needed

    Exactly this. We have sold ONE of our major assets. Just like every single club in the championship we will sell anyone if our valuation is met. We have done a really good job with contract lengths so we control the market. I think some fans just don't understand football.
