He needs binning like. He's the wrong fit for this club - billy bullshitters and management textbook reciters don't go down well in this neck of the woods

When we appoint the HC and he tries to tell us all that he or she was "always our no.1 choice" then I may chuck my laptop out the window.

We’ve been watching him from afar for years is my guess, I don’t think even speakman has the brass neck to claim he was the 1st choice

It's not work permit related, it's down to who controls what,
That's what I've just be told after the England match. A sticking point to be over come. That's all.

If I get no new info, I will keep stumb

It's proof he values Dodds and Proctor as part of our coaching set up and wants to keep/develop them.

Whether that's right or wrong is up for debate. If it has cost us coaching appointments it looks stubborn and foolish if we end up with an inferior coach, if not then it's sticking to a vision which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

While we know as little as we do there are several answers to every question and they range from Speakman being an arrogant savant to some sort of modern day footballing visionary.

But we know **** all and anything that states one way or the other as a definitive truth is pretty easy to disregard.

That they want to keep them as part of the coaching set up is pretty clear and isn’t really up for debate.

Wanting to keep them at the expense of everything else including getting head coaches that the same people have said the owner desperately wanted is what I find more questionable.

It’s not proof of anything as there’s far too many other variables at play and no evidence that wanting to keep them on the coaching team has cost us any head coach appointments to date.

I’d be more inclined to believe him around the sticking to the vision piece if the head coach appointments were easy fits with our vision for our playing approach and the squad he has overseen.

I spoke to him at an event after the league 1 promotion and I enjoyed the discussion and was supportive of what he was saying about approach, vision and interestingly he talked about the ideal of coaches being easy fits with our approach/vision/squad.

personally I don’t think he has delivered on that and has been pretty scattergun, he has also overseen a largely positive position of young players in the English game to a largely poor position of young players from abroad

I’m not against the approach he originally set out but I’m losing faith lost faith in his ability to execute it successfully.

He won’t say number 1 choice but I’d expect there’ll be something along the lines of always admiring him or such like.

What do you want him to say bearing in mind the bloke being appointed, the players and the wider footballing community will also be reading it and that it needs to try and garner some support for the new head coach?
 
Happy to get behind the Le Bris if it is him, but if it does go all ends up then KS position would surely become untenable.

Completely agree. I don't really see much of an overarching football philosophy at this point. Buying young with a high ceiling is only half the job and I'd like to see him show he understands the task at hand quickly... or leave.

can we just agree that many of us will have heard different things regarding whats going on at SAFC, some of it may be right, some maybe poop, some may have elements of both,
no matter who comes they will be given the backing of the fans, surely? we need to be united as 1 going foward, forget what has happened/happening.
Everything happens for a reason.

Honestly I don’t think they will. It feels like the fans will be on a constant witch hunt ever since the Beale situation
