    Again, this is low resolution, money can be spent on more avenues than transfer fees, which we have spent a fair bit on anyway, but infrastructure and especially coaching are vital if you've got young lads who are literally improving day-on-day.

    You're spiralling and if you had your way you'd be relegating us.

    Not a chance. The current squad is poor and there’s zero trust in recruitment.

    Staying the same in the last 3.5 years has moved us from a team missing out on the League One playoffs (Phil Parkinson) to the Championship playoffs the season before last, we've basically had it good, we hit a bump in the road last season and you want to throw it all away to roll the dice again, nuts man.

    I don't think we'll get relegated but I also don't think we'll be anywhere close to promotion so what's the point?

    He should've been gone in May. Too late to sack him now unless Harvey or someone else within the club can step up to a decision making role.

    Some of our fans are spoiled like, a crappy season after 2 seasons of real progress and we're willing to burn it all down and go back to dice rolling.

    …has been for a while. It’s mental we’re still without a manager but some still believe all is well.

    I just think speakmans run his course, nout personal but if we can upgrade in any department we should, especially if we claim to be ‘obsessed with progression’

    The people kicking off the most are just so inconsistent and contradictory.

    They're believing that we had Maric agreed then pulled out because Still came available and then had him agreed until Lens (a Champions League club this season no less) showed an interest, then had Jansen and Rosenior fairly far down the line (do they keep all the bad stuff secret until the very last minute?). At the same time they're also saying no one will take the job because of the restrictions being imposed, the owner selling, Speakman, lack of investment, seven man selection panel (which no one mentioned or saw as a problem until Nixon said it). I don't know how they reconcile the two.

    Haway man this is shocking journalism. So whoever wrote this knows that we have other candidates (obviously) but doesn't know who they are? Admitting you don't have good sources is an interesting route to take.

    The decisions of the ownership group are burning it down.

    Pieing off Mowbray and appointing Beale.
    Sacking Beale realising it was a disaster.
    Appointing Dodds as interim.
    Taking 120 days or whatever ridiculous number we're up to, to find a replacement.

    Its concerning, it doesnt seem to be organised. It doesnt seem to be progressive at all, we went backwards last season and this current ****uation is giving nobody the confidence that the leadership group can turn it around.

    This is the best option at this stage. Hopefully someone random totally out the blue and it just gets announced out of nowhere to show that no one really knows what's going on and the order preference of the names who've been rumoured. I think the only thing we can be confident of is Still was first choice and we didn't get him tidied down soon enough (Reims contract might be the reason for that) and Lens pouched him away.

    I bet the players are buzzing to arrive back for pre season with their mate Doddsy
