There's no bloody race is there? Nobody wants the poison chalice. No say in who you buy, play or set up, but the bullet if you fail

What are Speakman's credentials for wielding so much power over potential managers/coaches? Does he have his FA badges? It's like putting me in charge of surgeon recruitment at Sunderland Royal.
Ludicrous.
Apparently so.
 
You know what. I am sick of it. Sick of lord Speakman causing this absolute mess.

How much more screw ups are we expecting to take from a footballing structure and operational POV?
KLD needs to grow a pair, how can he sit there and look at the constant theme going out, it always reverts back to one person, his wonderful sporting director, just thick

Is there any point in getting my hopes up we could even tempt cifuentes? Or just wait for the inevitable Lampard appointment?

Thing is I can see Lampard being desperate enough to get back into work he will work within the restrictions Speakman has set
 
This is all in your mind.

Aye mate. Screwing up

Neils contract
Falling out with Mowbray

Appointing Beale

Promoting Dodds to assistant manager

Having multiple head coaches be out of the running due to a over complicated process and rigid staffing model.

That's just the operational side of football management. Not player contracts and fallings out etc.

But aye. All in my mind.

He needs to be binned off.
 
Surely people can now accept we have the model of the front bench wrong. It's seriously limiting and completely our own doing.

Not our. Speakmans. Absolute joke.

It's one thing accepting it, something entirely different doing anything to change it. Posting on forums might increase the pressure on the club by a tiny amount but they're already under enormous pressure. The club can see last season was a failure and they need to put it right.

The Championship is a drain on resources and we need promotion ...

... we're literally just spectators.

When people say 'this is unacceptable' it sounds profound but it's basically meaningless imo. The only signal we can really send is to not to go to games but, as we all know, half a dozen good results and it's all forgotten. We went to Wembley twice and won twice, we were promoted once and almost twice ...

... if we're challenging, and in the top six, people will accept virtually anything in my view.

Did you not know every manager we’ve had up for talks has just been a baseless rumour and we’re still on track to get our #1 target? :emoticon-0114-dull:

Don’t be silly mate, that’s all called obsession with progression, easy mistake to make
Daft sod ye
 
If Speakman goes, we're getting relegated back to League One, because it means we're willing to forego a plan that has been in place for over 3 years in favour of relenting to a mass of uninformed outrage.
if we stay exactly the same we are heading back to league one young kids no strikers it no good burying head in the sand
