    I've got no doubt Speakman is a difficult character but a lot of what we're hearing about him is simply hearsay filtered through the prism of other people's (possibly second or third hand) personal animosity.

    Mostly agree. We need someone equipped for running championship first team football not Speakman who does the other stuff quite well but not that and it should have been sorted a month ago, the lack of decisive action makes Speakman what he made Dodds, a lamb to the slaughter.

    Definitely mate, that’s why I’m not in the full blown sack the lot of them mode. We just don’t know and most likely never will.

    Could be right but there is enough evidence change needs to happen. A restructure a clear change of plan and responsibility for it shared with people more certain. I’m not getting the vibe that it’s anything but messy, not assured. Speakman is the main feature in the mess last season at first team level so what’s the delay in sorting it? It’s not even kind to Speakman not to, though I’m sure he doesn’t think he needs it.

    Which would be great if it was a one off mate, just look at the striker debacle and the defensive midfield role, “we tried but……”. It’s a common theme here and there has to be a common denominator whatever or whoever it is

    I do agree about the lack of bringing a striker in mate it’s just that I think the trend has been more positive than negative since KLD came in and KS is part of that. I haven’t been impressed since the sacking of Beale mind and that’s with either of them.

    There's definitely been mistakes made on his watch but there's a lot of assumption, based on rumour, made about him too.

    It has been positive overall mate but that doesn’t mean it’s a trend that continues, they reach their natural level. But most of all, they have not been reading my signature. It’s over to them to deliver and last chance saloon for KS for me.

    Well aye you’re only as good as your last game as the saying goes and it’s not good at the moment. However I have every faith we’ll get it right. It’s blind faith mind. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I agree but the realities of our mess last season at first team level can’t be up for debate.

    If the Muslic link is genuine then I would be keen on him getting the job personally. He has done really well with his club, who arent a big hitter at all. Benefit of Monaco loans but they are young players who he has done well with. Has a reputation for attractive and aggressive football.

    I mean I'd written the weekend off as not much usually happens on weekends. Not expecting anything until early in the week.
