Just been informed theres a meeting at 9am tomorrow.
BCH to get to the bottom of this, his move was put together after Stoke game and finished with an offer, no extention to his existing contract, so he takes the big money from Stoke, ruthless this game footy except we again are weak.
AN called Speakman a fool in front of staff 2 weeks ago

He flies in tomorrow morning at 7.00am meeting at BCH before the match

Speakman is a fool. AN no time for bluffers.

He has been let down so he went.

Sick of seeing the fanzines try to turn this into AN already.

Totally agree with you on this. Pleased the club stood their ground, we do need to nail this next appointment though

Incorrect. The club screwed up. I would love to defend them. We said we must get it right after LJ too. We did.

We then screwed it. It's ok to say. The representatives of the club screwed up.

its both mate. It doesn’t have to be one or other. Both sides to blame. Speakman definitely the most so (IMO). But Neil has not dealt with this well

We haven't failed to pay his wages or bring in good players tbf.

If he wants the club to do everything he wants then that's too bad.

I doubt Stoke will do anything more than just give him more money.

I know you provide great info mate but its clear at times you arent Speakman's biggest fan. Neil has left us the day before a big game to talk to another club - I cant stand that. Even if he is annoyed or pee'd off how things are going behind the scene then leave before now or at least see tomorrow's game out then go.

We will never know for sure what happened but I would prefer to side with the person who is sticking with the club then the one leaving for Stoke City

I disagree. He was promised a deal. Didn't happen. He had other offers then left. That simple.

If you know for a fact he has had other offers, then he clearly doesn't mind who knows this.

Hardly convincing that we should have moved heaven and earth to keep him if he is

A). Happily telling people about these offers
And
B) not discouraging offers

out of interest you were steadfastly dismissing that he would leave as of last night, so did you learn about all these broken promises today? As otherwise surely you’d have been less confident to the point of dismissive about it last night?

that’s not having a go, I’m just curious. As it’s all a bit of a shock to all of us.

He just wanted the deal he was promised.

It didn't come.

he can wait until the day after the game rather than the afternoon before, for a start.

Why ? Speakman has pissed about for weeks. Why should he wait any longer.

I see it's easy to blame the outgoing manager. It's not the facts though. Probably going against the grain but I am happy with what I have been told and if it annoys people then so be it.

I don’t doubt what you’ve been told, just disagree it absolves Neil of any blame for the way he’s handled it

Anybody know why David Preece was sacked?

I don't think he was sacked, I am sure that I read he left to do a sports science course or similar. In one of the Access all Areas programmes at the end of last season the players were signing a shirt as part of a leaving present for him.

This, no one can condone his part in this, especially if he has been **** stirring with the players. This hasn’t just happened in a matter of hours either, he must have been aware last week
