So now you're saying there's never been a deal but your opening post was "Deal on verge of collapse". Must try harder.
Why would it be easier for Norwich, Hull and similar sides being more efficient than us? There’s something up on our club if we can’t get things over the line, probably a combination of things but realistic wages and control/policy will be the main issues. If we can’t get the coaches or the players we need we will plummet.
Lets wait and see, I note you have been very confident throughout and claim the deal has been concluded, I can confirm that it has not. I suggest you re-read the post.
My gut tells me that Speakman is the one conducting the search but KLD heavily involved. I think the rumours from earlier in the summer that Speakman was leaving were tosh.
With the Wicky story breaking earlier, it could well be that the club are pursuing Still but have other targets too.
If we start the season with Dodds there will be hell on from the fans. The hope that he will be replaced by a competent head coach is what dragged me through the last few weeks of this god awful campaign. And also the reason many of fans have renewed. I hope to Christ it hasn’t fallen through at this stage as that could well lead to another panic appointment. We have had 3 months to unofficially talk to candidates, three bastard months. Now other clubs are also looking for head coaches or managers.
Definitely has a say though, not a coincidence pretty much every player they sign fits right into his system. Got rid of some pretty big names at Barca and Bayern too to bring in his own players I think didn’t he?
My thoughts too. The SMB is probably more well known than this board so I find it strange he's posting here but not there.
