Doubt we'll get him - he's got eyes on the Leicester job! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...new-boss-Enzo-Marescas-departure-Chelsea.html
No way Steve Bruce is a Premier League manager any more. I don't think he'd be a particularly good manager in the championship. One. The game has moved on. Two. He was never better than incredibly mediocre.
This is the thing that taints Speakman for me. I get what he’s trying to do with bringing in promising young players and I prefer that to paying over the odds for journeymen on one last payday. This will not always be successful and I am prepared to accept that for now. However, when Mowbray was sacked, there appeared to be no plan with how he was to be replaced. There should have been a replacement head coach ready to walk through the door, as that’s what Speakman has alluded to with his succession planning. It didn’t happen then and it appears it isn’t happening again. If there isn’t a plan in place that can be acted on swiftly and successfully, Speakman should learn to keep his gob shut. I don’t hold out much hope that he can do that either
We've had 2 or 3 opportunities to do that and haven't. Why do you suddenly think that will happen now, or are you just deliberately trying to be negative?
If he made his final decision on Sunday, it's still plausible as to why we've not heard anything here. Nobody is going to be leaking it. If he's accepted, they may well have needed to dot the I's and cross the t's on the contracts (multiple). They may have also needed him to come over to film interviews etc which might not have even happened yet. You'd think that that would mean news comes out in the next 48 hours though... If he's rejected, we may have moved on to the next person. At which you'd expect the news to not break until much later in the week. For some reason though, people seem to assume that he's still making his mind up. That feels unlikely considering.
Speakman has done a lot of good work, but he lets himself down every time he opens his mouth: We have a succession plan Leon Dajaku was always planned to be the 3rd striker We're not the sort of club that is aligned to a traditional no.9 Obsession with progression Just shut up and do your job.
iirc his head was aparrently turned on the Sunday/Monday and we didn't hear until the Thursday/Friday from the media so even if he does make a decision doubt we'd hear for three or four days and then an announcement probably another 1 or 2 after that
Maybe cutting off my nose to spite my face and all that but IF he is just waiting to see if the frogs offer him the job, I'd be inclined to say **** you and cut him loose.
Seemingly managers/head coaches rated Beale as a coach. He’s just not a head coach and never will be.
Speakman does the job under the remit of KlD Add to the above - allowing Newcastle to desecrate our ground for a penny and hiding the true ownership %s from the fans
Uh huh. Is that just a copy and paste response to questions about every single manager at this point? That said, I think Still is done now.
