S.A.F.C. - the future

If Hendo lifts the Worl Cup....I think he'll have won almost everything. And therefore, he might want to come home...

 

I think he'll definitely end up back here.

 

Yep, me too.

 

IMHO I don't think either will happen

 

Enjoyable reading for a Sat morning (apart from the Dog related stuff obvs)

Be good see an early announcement next week then some signings

 

well clearly he hasn’t moved on,

 

Hope so!

It's the 3rd day now isn't it?
Sure read that takes 5 days for the test?

Probably be delayed as well with the bank holidays

 

Lovely part of the world - we have some offices there - the coast line is very underrated.

 

I think he's part of the fabric at Liverpool now mate. They'll look after him as long as he wants to be in football. Deservedly so.

 

I reckon he will manage us at some point in the future as well.

Piece in the Northern Echo about Speakman bringing players in:

“At times this year, we have been too young. I’ve been on record saying that. But in previous times we have been too old and we haven’t quite got the needle right and maybe that has affected our overall performance. We have to take criticism for that, which is fine.

“That’s the difficulty when you go through transition because we only have the transfer windows today and they are six months apart and you need three or four of them. I’ve had three transfer windows here and I’d like to think if people were going to be critical about the group and lowering the age profile, they would have to say we’ve got some really talented players in our group and we’ve got some older more experienced players that are fundamental to that success and we’ve got some young up-and-coming players that are fundamental to that success. That’s the balance we’ve got to get.

Nail on the head mate, you don't have to spend millions on transfer fees in the championship, there will be loads of players leaving premium league clubs on fres or on reduced transfer fee due to being in the last year of there contract.
We will be able to bring in more players of the quality of Pritchard and Roberts because of the contracts we can offer.
I'm not getting too carried away as we have only just managed to get out of league one, however as a club we will still be a big pull, players will now know we are being ran properly, have financial backing and probably pay as much in wages as nearly any other team in the league.
I was very critical of Speakman of the Keane fiasco and even suggested he got the sack, the one thing I can't criticise is the recruitment.
The quality of the players he brought in was actually unbelievable for league one and I think we only realised how good when he brought in the manger to match it.
I really havnt got a clue what next season is going to bring.
But I tell you one thing I'm as excited as ****

 

That’s really well put. I especially like this bit:

“The quality of the players he brought in was actually unbelievable for league one and I think we only realised how good when he brought in the manger to match it.”

 

Much happend?

 

yes been on there well over 10 years, it’s a mad place but I love it. U just have to ignore the wums and idiots.

 

Yes it took you two days to get over a hangover.

 

Update please Sheaaafffff
