I wondered if he meant due diligence, change of ownership but might be wrong. A couple liked the post. He’s also had a couple so could mean anything.

Prehab and Bob have always seemed to be on the same wavelength and Bob said last night that the club is not up for sale for at least 18 months, so that’s got me doubting if it’s a sale Prehab is on about. Speaking leaving maybe…
 
What happened to the Pritchard/Batth type signings? In the early KLD days it was the primarily youth signings, but also those more experienced pro's who at one point had higher ceilings but had lost their way a bit at their current clubs. We'd give them a chance at a lower level to try and reignite their careers, we've lost sight of that profile.
Costs too much now. Cheap all the way from here on in.
 
Yeah, dont think I'd like us to go for him personally, but hes exactly the type I think of when I think of us signing Pritchard in League 1

As fans, we are quick to recognise that certain players are good enough for a particular level, but have a ceiling on how far up the tree they can go. It should be the same with managers and DOF's. Given how poor Speakmans recruitment has been since we were promoted, it may be time for us and the club to realise that he has reached his ceiling and that it is time to move on.

He needs to, and will articulate things better.

I think he had a good window just after promotion tbf., But I do agree. Was thinking about this the other day, what is a good length of time for a Sporting Director? If they are doing an outstanding job each year then you keep them of course, but do they go stale after a certain amount of time? I think as a collective, over 3+ years, Speakman has been a success overall, but some new ideas might be what is needed to take us to the next level. I think 4 years is a good amount of time for a Sporting Director to come in, set up and implement their project and then the club can revaluate and look to upgrade. I think we're at that point, unless of course this is fully KLD's strategy.

I won't go into more detail but you'll be right.

Me and the Bob have found a message off years ago so we may message. See what happens.

But it is right currently. It's just not good enough. I am genuinely blown away that we have allowed ourselves to go into the euros without a head coach.

Not sure people understand the significance of this.


But Will Still promised to sign then reneged.
KLD and KS can't be held accountable for that.
I can understand concerns from fans but for fook sake, calling for Speakman and Dreyfus to leave before knowing or seeing an outcome is a fooking joke.

It wasn't Stills fault.

And without any replacement plan, ffs if he went let’s hope we have some other benefactor with £9m a year to piss away.
 
He was all but signed then pulled out.
Are you saying you know circumstances that made him pull out ?
Not having a go mate. I'm asking out of interest and I'll take your word ;)

We didnt agree terms
