That's absolutely true. It's also true that we shouldn't allow SAFC to be bullied by a lower league French club or made to stick another year on the contract by an agent getting above himself. I love how we are now with these issues ... ... people say we're embarrassing as a club, for whatever reason, but I think we were much worse in the past.
Not interested in bait posting mate. I am not like that. I will say what I think or state that I have heard something.
But on the contrary we’ll do the same eventually when PL clubs come calling for our players. I know transfermarkt means nowt really but they have Mendy at €4m. That’s more than a lot of our players we see as more valuable than that and players we’d defo turn our noses up if that was offered for them. Hopefully get a deal done soon this is the one position I would just pay the money for and not expect a financial return tbh it’s the final piece of the puzzle really.
The world needs someone to blame these days mate. Instant gratification. Yes we need a striker Yes we need a bit more experience. But we have a you squad with more talent than I could have dreamt of 5 years ago and a young progressive manager who the players obviously connect with. Speakman might not be the most likeable chap in the world but for me he has done a bloody good job. Time will tell where we end up but i wish some people would just take a step back and enjoy the football
It's very strange how Speakman has become so hated, really is. However, if i had to choose between him being liked by A) Talented players, who may become good enough for the top half of the PL or B) A bunch of people on chat forums who've never spent any meaningful time with him ... I'll go for Plan A. It's not just the signings either. If people really believe Speakman and the coaches are so dismal how on earth do they believe Patterson, Neil, Rigg, etc, are developing, watching clips on Youtube? Why are clubs like Man Utd so keen to allow their players to come here on loan if the coaching is so dreadful. But no logic or reason will change people's minds ... ... Speakman is the bogeyman and him giving every supporter £100 wouldn't change it. "What does £100 get you these days, I spend that on a night out the skinflint"
Considering its euros, its on the high end but reasonable given his last three seasons. Hopefully we meet in the middle.
As Bob would say, 'That's just an opinion' ... ... what if it's actually KLD who's making every decision, who's sacking him?
You're a betting man ... ... how much would you put on Speakman being sacked at evens? Seriously, what would Ballard, Rigg, Jobe, etc think if, having committed themselves to the club, the DOF is booted out.
Ah yes the matete savings when he’s out on loan could return at any time and is coming back at the end of the year
