    Haven’t posted as prolifically as normal today so it’s time for me to pop in and say **** off Speakman.

    Former academy manager out of his depth as basically somebody who runs the whole football side of the club.

    I'm coming to the conclusion that anything outside of Academy Management is beyond his skill set.

    Lurking on here and online makes me wonder how some people survive in the real world.

    Some of the crap that people believe because of the hurd mentality explains why the Sun is so popular.

    Do you take any notice of a head coach still not being appointed?

    Well, I would like to think I called this early. Very early. Got slammed for months , even a year on here. Now seems like everyone else is in agreement.

    Mate if this indeed true and is the reason why we appear to be struggling, then I’m sure KLD will act, however his “release” may be an agreement they have yet to meet. But either way, they are putting their egos before the club if it’s true and I have no reason to think it isn’t.

    KLD doesn’t get off either btw. He’s overseeing this so is as bad as far as I’m concerned. No wonder the takeover took so long.

    Least we expected after the club gave up on the season in February was to have a bit optimism and a new manager by the close of play. Not to be waiting to the eve of pre season and still looking. Got a feeling speakman is trying to be too clever

    Find it beyond belief that anyone will stand up for the ‘ownership group’ now like. They’re taking the piss out of every single one of us

    He is a 27 year old billionaire who isn't that interested. He has other businesses opportunities.

    He pays Speakman to make it work here. It's not.

    KLD needs to step up to the party.

    Something is off though...

    never liked how he came across but thought he was doing a good job of squad building. Which even in hindsight he was to an extent. But hasn’t for the last 12-18 months. And as I’ve said before, way too many “coincidences” of things going wrong or people leaving under a cloud. He’s a problem.

    Oh absolutely. Some long standing posters on here hammered me for it. But , with respect, I knew.

    Needs to sort it now though. Or just leave. Like he was meant to the other month.

    is it one of those contract situations again mate - he’s got a big sign off fee if we get rid before his contract finishes ( apparently beginning sept going off what’s been said on here ) - so he’s playing games ?

    If that is the case kid needs to step in big style immediately- but is he then thinking I havent got a DOF and then potential head coaches are saying hold on a minute I need to know who my immediate gaffer is gonna be
