Good luck to him as well. Stepped up when he didn't want to and is clearly a decent coach.
Just hope it doesn't disrupt the coaching set up to much

He's a new poster, similar to the ones we always get on here every window.
What is it with that, always the same crack and only seem to post on the transfer threads
He's been around for a while, pretty sure he gets info around the Neil camp as wellHe's a new poster, similar to the ones we always get on here every window.

We were in big trouble with SD in charge
A joke of an owner that was ruining our football club
Thank God for KLD and KS, they've saved us
Same, just can't see why folk aren't keen on him tbh
this will be unpopular but if that bid came in first week January I’d have snapped their hands off.
harder now.
I'm just thinking the wages we've saved on Connolly, ,Rusyn and Aouchiche have enabled us to sign Isador on a contract?
Think I'd read that they don't think they'll go that high this window and we want him until this summer.
If we don’t go up the summer is gonna be pretty exciting from a window perspective isn’t it 
I reckon we will need a couple of full backs, one or two centre backs, three or four centre midfielders, a couple of wingers at least and probably another striker. Maybe a keeper as well.
and likely £100m+ to do it. Could see record spending in the championship (as a whole, not on one player)

Everything posted this morning was posted yesterday ...
... this is the second class post dropping through the letterbox.
These transfer threads are where we all lose our minds ... and sometimes our will to live
...
Fair play to him. Likely edged out a bit by Ribeiro and time for him to make his own way,,
aye I’m personally really happy for him. Almost a sense of pride seeing him getting a move like this.
I really like Wycombe. I hated their style of play under Ainsworth but all their fans I met at the checkatrade final were great. I’d love to see Dodds managing in the championship next season.
It's not 'buying the club' that's the issue Bob.
The problem people* have is the mess he made of everything and the talent he cashed in on to keep things going ...
... I just can't imagine the shambles the club would be in now if KLD hadn't bailed him out.
There's no way the club would be where it is now with Donald involved.
*These are the people I know and go to games with, I'm not speaking for anyone else.

Imo when he took over we were a mess on and off the field, to take over at sunderland when he did , you needed to be self confident,arrogant and aloofSome people seem to have taken against Speakman and say he's aloof, arrogant and self-centred, fair enough ...
... but I doubt very much that he's shedding tears over Dodds or wanting one of his chums to come to hold his hand.
He wants success for himself which means success for us all.
If he'd wanted someone he knew RLB would've had someone forced on him, instead we waited and brought in a coach we thought was the right man.
All of a sudden the whole club looks professional from top to bottom ...
... I was told last week that Doris, the tea lady, had new castors fitted to her trolley and a designer tabard with the club crest
He's done/doing a cracking job long may it continue.
I’m not saying Hume isn’t a solid player and solid part of a good team. For the team to go up a level though it’s one of the positions I would improve on. At this late stage in the window it’s a risk and potentially unsettling, though might get us Ballard back on the field, but 20million is an unbelievable deal and I’m certain we could get better for half of that.
I couldn't care less if Speakman is an absolute tyrant with anyone who doesn't invest in the club tbh.
The facts are that good players want to come here and stay here because of the coaches and the way it's run ...
... loan players are happy to come and their clubs respect us.
That's a long way from the basket case under Donald, and even Short, when we were a shambles and laughed at.
It's us who are laughing now
We probably could, but it’s about the level of destabilisation for me. Trai is a key player in the dressing room and one we can rely on to play solid every week. It would be a concern if he went now. £20m is a big old deal though.
