New Head Coach

@Hamish 1973 do us ALL a favour, and p**s off back otr and chat with your mates there. You're not appreciated here with your constant whining and accusations

 

I'd say they didn't play well last season, hence the relegation

 

Cheers for that

 

He lost half the squad that got him to tenth.
Couldn’t replace to due money reasons at the club,
Lorient fans are upset to see him go

 

Completely agree with this. Speakman deserves signficant criticism for some of the things that have gone wrong but a lot of what is said about him is disproportionate and focusses on the wrong things, rather than the things he's actually done wrong. The 'staffing issues' have clearly been an invention, or exaggeration, to try and undermine him.

 

Because they've come over from RTG on a wind up mission. Once we sign the forwards and CM we are looking for they'll disappear again until the next wind up opportunity presents itself.

 

That’s the hope right

 

Why call them out? What is your objective? What benefit are you creating for anyone else?

Folk share stuff they have heard. Football is one big rumour mill. If you dont think people hear things then that would be bizarre. Imagine footballers not having mates outside of the squad. Imagine agents not planting stories. Imagine those directly involved not having someone letting slip. Even worse, imagine people actually making stuff up in front of people they dont actually know. What, in all honesty, do you think they would be trying to achieve? If you think ITKs are fantasists then maybe that says more about your opinion of folk.

For info, my mate is involved with some of the elite agencies. We play golf and he tells me stuff. Mostly about the edges, not individual deals. His words, I could tell you something on the 1st tee, by the time we are drinking a glass of wine in the clubhouse it might have changed.

Just take the lads at face value, or live without it. Dont be smug about it because it reflects worse on you than those willing to share. My opinion anyway.

 

Agreed. Things can get heated, but so what. We are all big boys, wake up and just get on with it. This forum is very very good for keeping a lid on things and not letting it get out of hand.

It's not a surprise that a good few lads have came over here now. This has meant more info/rumours are being shared. I think it's a good thing.

Smug is right too. Me and my brother rocked up to the pre play off meet. Was hanging out my arse but had a good chat and others who were there.

 

So you havent seen his side play then?

You are just going on stats, if you watch a side play you gain a better understanding on that head coach and whether he js good or not

Beale had a cracking win % but i was never a fan because i couldn't see a clear style of play when i watched his teams

 

They havnt though. Well that's what I have been told throughout.

Do you not think it's not crunch time and perhaps, there is finally flex to get someone over the line ?

 

If KS told you that we chased W Still what would you say on here the same as you were told. However if we got a different coach would you run and hide cos you were wrong ????.

Also do you think this was the clubs 1st 2nd 3rd choice or another Beale pick????

 

Hamish I'm getting reports, so ive put a 24 hour thread ban for things to cool down or until your mods are about.

I'm not taking sides (nowt to do with me), it's just a cooling off so i don't get the reports.

 

I reckon that flex will have been there a while mind. Cifuentes for instance you heard fell thru because of staffing issues as recently as this week, so I doubt KLD has just suddenly about turned on that and gone to somebody else in the last few days. If he was going to do a U turn so quickly then he’d go back to Cifuentes surely.

not criticising you as you can only say what you’re hearing, just saying what you heard must have been wrong in this instance.

 

Think we know the answer to that mate.

But I am not going to spend my days slating the bloke before he has had a sniff. Deserves a clean slate.

I know some would say Beale should have had too but for me, it was more of a known situation, he was an arsewipe and players wouldn't like him.

This is different so a clean slate from me, however, I absolutely think it's a huge huge risk.

 

You are welcome to the forum but you need to conduct yourself in a proper manner , you appear to want to attack anyone who does not agree with you or your agenda . The integrity of the forum is being undermined by you and I am of the opinion that due to your lack of civility toward serious posters you should be banned till you have something sensible to say !!!

 

Maybe. I had someone message me and say that info was wrong. May have been. No drama.

 

It is

 

the conflicting messages and stories were always likely to happen considering the vacuum of information. No harm or problem with it. Kept us entertained for a couple of months at least

 

For a day of good news this thread had taken a dark turn.

Come on lads, new head coach being appointed, sun shining all weekend.

We should all be looking forward
