What has he ****ed up? What difference would it be if we'd appointed a Head Coach the day after the Sheff Wed game? What would he have done in an empty AOL for the last month or so?

Sat in on the end of season reviews with existing coaching staff.

Been part of the discussions around squad composition for this coming season.

Been able to assess free agent market along with recruitment team.

Endless video analysis to ascertain how the existing squad may best be able to be coached.

Assessed whether his preferred style suits the players or he needs to refine.

Work with Murty to get a feeling for who may be best placed to join pre season.

Talk to each and every player in the squad about their feelings, what they think has gone wrong and give them a steer on his plans and expectations for next season.

Plan pre season, based on all of the above.

For starters anyways... Coaches dont go away for 2 months and do nowt.

Unless you have parachute payments or very successful player trading, every club at this level will lose millions each year. Be stunned if someone like KLD with his family and advisors wasnt aware this would clearly be the case for him.

Yeah, I’m sure they would be aware beforehand but the reality of it biting might be cause for a rethink.

Edit - Why not cash out and quit while he’s ahead?

Smug. For you to accuse anyone of stalking is a bit rich coming from you! You're constantly going back through posters past comments and re posting them in bold letters! <laugh>

Hope KLD stays as I think he has done a really good job with us, considering the total mess he came into. I do think someone alongside him to support would be good, not sure what santori brings to the party tbh

I saw some of the abuse he received on social media after the BCB 'fiasco' and it was embarrassing reading those comments. Some want him out, but theyll be the type that want every owner out if we hit a bad run of form. Also heard he was getting abuse at home games so started to stay away from the stadium. Some of our supporters are pathetic (every club has them tho).

Last season was poor (some will say very poor others might say shocking) but it was fixable imo. Getting a good manager in and a good transfer window fixes most things

Think we are all getting drained by all of this, the not knowing can kill supporters at times.

A takeover, or buying of shares, could be the reason its taken so long to get a manager. I do worry if a takeover is happening and does drag on we are in for a long tough season as itll massively impact transfer activity.

Obviously a takeover could bring in better owners but it could also bring in a lot worse

Fed up of everything at the minute n just want some positive news this week to lift my spirits for the season ahead

Busy week of scouting n family time to take my mind off it!!

Hahaha. Shown you're talking ****e so out come the accusations of stalking and name calling, you'll be running to the mods next. I'm not stalking you. The two posts were literally on the same page. I'm not asking for details either merely pointing out you've completely contradicted yourself.

Thing is, him/Sartori have put £18m into the club. We made a £9m loss for 22/23 and that excluded the Stewart sale (and some incomings). We also have quite a few assets with significant value. Clarke and Neil both around £20m, reports saying we value jobe at £20m. Patterson, Ballard and Hume could even bring in 8 figures potentially. Unless our finances bombed in 23/24 I dont see why financing should be that significant in the grand scheme of things if we make one or two player sales.

Tbf not even the financing part of KLD im worried about, its more watching what Speakman was doing last season under his watch and nothing looks to be changing for this up coming season so far.

KLD admitted in his statement that the club had ****ed up last season and were determined to put it right.

Neil and Rigg stalling over new contracts could be seen as a good thing. I'm sure KLD will be aware that if the managerial appointment is a poor one and Rigg and Neil jump ship, two local lads who are firm favourites with the fanbase, then the **** really will hit the fan.

I'm as frustrated as anyone else on here that we still don't have a Head Coach, but I'd rather they were thorough in their quest for a new boss than bring a lesser man in to bring a quick end to the insecurity of the fans.

How do we know they are being thorough? Could be they just can’t attract a decent manager because of wages, working under KS directive, recruitment policy etc.

Not at all, you're guessing at what I mean and getting it totally wrong.

Think what you like, your thoughts are of no interest.
