New Head Coach

[Teessidemackem]

You have no idea what the reason is other than believing rumours, some fans love to be negative for the sake of it. Why not wait and see who we got before deciding if it's a good or bad appt

And neither do you but rather have red and white blinkering infront of my eyes, lets look at the bigger picture here?

How many days now without a manager? 2 of our finest talent rumoured to have held off from signing a new contract and a new name mentioned every day who none of us have even heard of?

TBH this thread has turned very toxic lately so I am a bit like scout think I will take a break for a bit, and like Smug alluded to will give all the wailing fannies a chance to calm down and look back with a bit more perspective instead of jumping on any rumour out there and treating everything as gospel.

I'm with you there mate. Time to take a break

Give Derek McKinnes a shout, he will sort us out.

Don't have red and white blinkers on, it's called not believing every rumour I read on the internet. I will wait and see who they appt before making a judgement

You’ve lost the ****ing plot Bob. Another ‘mate’ eh?

So do you think the length of time its taking, and to of our main targets turning us down is not a cause of concern then??

Nobody with any real experience of British football will want to work in this set up.

This narrative is nonsense mind. I know a lot of people don’t like Speakman and he rubs them up the wrong way but he can be very charming and is a good salesman. Plus he talks the same language as young coaches.

I can’t believe he’s turning off candidates on initial interactions, when he’ll be turning it on, based on personality.

I guess the argument would be that it’s his reputation that’s the turn off but if that’s the case then how come we’re getting so far down the line with candidates in the first place. They just wouldn’t entertain our approach at all. Besides, where will Jansen or Still be doing due diligence that leads them to believe that a working relationship with Speakman would be a no go?

He’s now just been built up into this bogeyman and scapegoat that is being blamed for everything. There’s a load of valid criticism that can be levelled at him so there’s no need to resort to this.

People elsewhere say he’s hard work and news will travel. You may be right but if a kids coach at Burnley FC says it’s not good. Mowbray and Slaven probably did us no favours but nor did the fall out. Of course even that may not be on Speakman of course, I’m sure it’s on both, but the damage may have been done.

I've kept off it because there are too many RTG style clowns entertaining themselves without adding to any discussion.

There are better things to do tbh ...

... I'm using the close season to work on my novel and really enjoying it.

Unless the Mods start to get a grip on people obviously wumming this board will go the same way as RTG.

Over there the many great posters just gave up bothering and the lunatics are running the asylum.

When there's a total lack of humour you know a forum is becoming toxic ... and that's not for me.

What specifically about the set up? People keep saying 'the model' is the problem but only seem to have vague ideas about what 'the model' is.

Then why even entertain having an interview? His first impressions don’t suggest he’s hard work (thereafter I can definitely sympathise with people who think he is).

The real fans are all having meltdowns, if you're not then you're a happy clapper and Speakman apologist. There is no in-between.

I have no idea if our main targets have turned us down other than rumours. I would I hoped we had a manager in place by now, but I'm not concerned about it as long as they get 1 in place before pre season starts

Maybe they don’t meet him till then !

A lot of here seem to behaving a meltdown believing every rumour in the press. Best just to wait and see who they appt then make a judgement

I then I can shove it up the arseholes otr, when the presser is me and him having another breakfast.
Lol

Bob man, stop pushing people you’ve had breakfast with and make some decent suggestions. Just because he managed his full Scottish doesn’t mean he can manage a football club. He can **** off before he gets here

Not sure why people keep mentioning the set up, it's a pretty common set up in a lot of clubs

Ok a decent shout could be Hecky

You going down the line of self publishing? My cousin in Chicago had to but it worked really well.
