    I have observed this place for quite some time and have become a little tired of seeing false information passed around, leading supporters down the wrong path.

    Is that to say we’ve never been close to appointing him in the first place in your opinion?

    I’ll tell you what. If they’ve messed this up I want a change. He should have lost some power already Speakman. Why are they trusting him after last year with first team matters?

    No. The club have been in contact with William Still for a number of months but both parties have kept options open during this period. It has never been as close as people have made out with talks of imminent appointments which is completely untrue. Parties have negotiated but are not getting through significant hurdles.

    Doubt “control over transfers” could be an issue this late in the day. It’s been clear as day throughout that our transfers aren’t the remit of the head coach

    I don’t for a second believe talks would have progressed from the first phone call if Still wanted control over transfers

    Just a word of advice. Limiting who can view your profile might lead to some posters questioning your authenticity or motivation or both.

    Not just any scout, ‘the’ scout. Interesting as I thought that would have been some of the very early discussion points. I’m not tied to Still, sounds canny but I know very little about him. I just want a gaffer in place ASAP to have a good crack at pre-season, so we have a chance at pushing on next season.

    Of course managers are going to want flexibility in bringing in players.

    to many it will be KLD if it comes off and Speakman if it doesn’t!

    TBH dont know what I mean anymore. 750 pages of a new head coach thread. Started when mowbray was still here. I just want somebody who tries to play good football and values our academy players.

    Not under a DoF/Head Coach system. Most will know that they might be able to suggest players but won't be leading the recruitment.
