    Nixon alluded to us meeting our first choice this week apparently, which leaves today and tomorrow you’d think.

    Would hope to have a further update by Monday latest in that instance surely?

    All of the coaches are involved with recruitment from the Juniors through to senior coaches as they all have input at a weekly meeting, however almost all of the staff will now be on holiday with family but you assume that it is only Dodds, Procter and KS or should I say they are the only ones you have singled out that are involved when the truth is it is at team of people from Head scouts, data analytics and coaches of all age groups along with senior medical staff involved in the recruitment so again you are only looking from a perspective of blaming KS for anything you can. I get you don't like him and that's fine but the constant negative back stabbing and snide comments become a bit tiresome especially as they are not well balanced or even well thought out.

    We're on day 80 here since Beale was sacked and we still can't decide on our candidate, never mind trying to agree terms etc...

    Forgive me for saying it but I'm starting to think it's a **** show and I'm struggling for any faith towards appointing the right man

    Vague as ever from Nixon, you’ll drive yourself insane looking for info daily mate, not a dig at you at all but no point worrying about things you can’t control, enjoy the break from safc haha it’ll all ramp up soon enough

    What if for 60 or 70 of those days our top one or two candidates weren't interested in speaking until the end of the season? Just a thought.

    Silence doesn't mean there's nothing going on. And it taking a little longer than some of our fans can handle (the season is barely over) isn't an issue either as long as, and this is the part where Speakman needs to prove his doubters wrong, they get a good end result.

    No it's not. There are many managers who have failed at one club and gone to another and been a success.

    It's all about the fit

    Nixon was quite specific (by his standards) in saying we were talking to our man this week. I would suggest he’s getting a little nervous as the week is quickly disappearing hence the ‘more than one candidate’ line now to hedge his bets/cover his arse.

    100% everything he’s tweeted so far someone here could have said, little substance to his stories but he needs the clicks I guess

    Totally agree with you but, with so little coming out of the club, there's obviously an information vacuum. I think our accumulated experiences of the club over the last few (9?) decades makes it understandable that the vacuum will be filled with negative thoughts. Personally, I don't think the current owners should bear the brunt of that though.

    I definitely trust our ITK fans more than Nixon (all of them) at least their hearts are in the right place, I suspect Nixon winds us up sometimes.

    He’s very good at playing the game I’ll give him that, until you question him like then he gives you the chop faster than a Saudi
