New Head Coach

[Southern A]

Generally love your posts mate but I wont have that. SD stripped the club to the bare bones and pulled in every little bit of cash he could just to keep its head above water. SD only had eyes on a sale and profit.

Sorry should have worded it better. Not the right thing to do for the club, the right thing to do for him. I meant at least he was intentional about what he was doing, rather than having it happen due to lack of ability

 

[Scout73]

Lots will disagree but Stewart Donald loves the club still, and he failed because he did not have the financial backing needed.
KLD has the right intentions, building a solid base, but will not use his own money to fund the transfer kitty we need.
He holds to much faith in KS, who needs to move on.
Our club is to big a job for KS if he admits it or not.

He failed because he didnt have a clue. He had no plan whatsoever, sold talented youngsters for next to nothing and had no vision for us

Kld has a plan, it might not be getting implemented well at the minute but we are in such a better place than your pal

 

[WorkyTicketFTM]

This is really poor mind. I wasn’t even sold on Rosenior but to be binned by yet another manager there’s something clearly not attractive about our proposition and my gut feeling is it’s the staff rather than transfers.

I'm sorry but you know nowt of what went on, and even less about KLD.

I don’t think it matters who we appoint now, all faith has been lost by a fair chunk of the fan base, worried we’re going to end up with someone who is out of their depth and only taking the job because they’ll never get a chance at a club this size otherwise

flat as **** about it all

 

[smithy in nl]

I'm sure he is happy, he's been getting opportunities etc but it's already been mentioned he is stalling on a new deal possibly due to the manager appointment delays.

Any agent would be advising that their client waits to see who is appointed, a disruptive environment is not good for a young player as promising as Rigg, same goes for Dan Neil. We could well end up with Dodds at this rate and that would essentially guarantee a relegation fight in my eyes and I wouldn't blame a single player for wanting out if that happens.

I just see it as the lads are on a break and they'll talk about ****e when they get back? He's had plenty game time and I'm sure he'll get more next season. I very much doubt the club and players are going on like some of our fans tbh.

 

[CR17]

Maybe we pushed Rosenior for an answer and that's why he has pulled out because he wants to be interviewed by Burnley. Our club could have saved themselves the headache by making a shortlist of coaches in Europe used to this set up rather than going for coaches that aren't

 

[J Flash]

I'm just devastated really that this is almost certainly the end for Chris Rigg.

We're losing a generational talent due to rank incompetence.

At least Stewart Donald sold them because he thought it was the right thing to do. This is losing ones we want to keep because we're too arrogant to do things properly

There’s no indication it’s the nearly certain the end of Rigg at all tbh. Situation is hurting him staying of course but nowhere near certain he won’t sign a deal.

Can’t disagree more about Donald, he didn’t think he was doing the right thing, he was selling our future to help fund the club because he had no business owning a club like ours with his wealth (he used the parachute payments to even get his shares which I’m not even convinced he repaid). Bloke was a disgrace

 

[Thunderwing Doomslayer]

I've always dismissed the rumours that KLD wants to sell up but i'm starting to wonder if these managers are turning the job down with any knowledge of a potential sale coming in the future and they think it's too much of a risk?.

Surely he knew this before he decided to take on the club? That being the case he gets no sympathy from me for being an inept businessman.

 

[alcoauth]

Rank these managers in order of what makes you the most furious:

Alex Neil
Chris Hughton
Graeme Murty
Gus Poyet
Sam Allardyce w/ Kevin Phillips as assistant

Yeh my wording was bad re: Donald. I meant he was acting intentionally rather than letting things thru the cracks

 

[Brainy Dose]

Mate, it’s absolutely pointless looking at the betting faves.

we’ve had Still, Maric, Wicky & now Rosenior all big faves for it before drifting out (and some coming back in).

Bookies must love us.

They love everybody mate...they always win!

Applaud your optimism mate, send some this way please

He was away regardless, from what I was told. Trust the bloke too, very close to the family.

Cheers mate no problem Its a touchy subject really hate some people re writing history to make SD look good and slag off KLD.

 

[APC]

Yeah there is. The model and approach and staff imposed by Speakman. KLD needs to grow a pair and bin him off. Self sabotage at best. If he can not see this, it's weak, ineffective leadership.

If he cannot see this pattern that has been forming for donkies of managers not wanting to work in these parameters set by Speakman then he truly is the thickest business man in the world

 

[flandersmackem]

Even tho he s hit on us from a great height.. I wouldn’t have a problem with Alex Neil coming back

tin hat on

Way way way out of his depth, and he was the author of the Oxford kidnap story during lockdown, which was absolutely pathetic.

 

[Brainy Dose]

I'm sorry but you know nowt of what went on, and even less about KLD.

So,please enlighten us.
