I think if you have a manager then yes, it is important that they do have the final say in recruitment. If you've got a Director of Football or Head of Recruitment model like ours, then the only crucial thing is that the Head Coach can coach. I don't see that it matters that much who brings the players in as long as everyone is happy with the arrangement and the players that are brought in are good players.

It very much matters as recruitment is the cornerstone to success. Can be the greatest coach in world but if players aren’t up to snuff then banging head against brick wall.
Nothing I’ve seen from speakman so far shows me he has an eye for a player.

a win on saturday would have bought the club some time but losing to the bottom club, at home, after they were also stuffed in the previous game was too much for the fans.

i firmly still believe in the long term goal as i believe it will only benefit the club in the long term, we have tried the 'rich owner spending money' approach and also the 'quick fix' approach and look where we are.

that said, the club should be in a better place by now, the fans have done as much as they can do in that showing of support but they all have a breaking point and my fear is that we are sailing very close to that point and it could take many years to get them back, if ever...the new regime need to use this opportunity to stamp their name into the clubs history and make 'that' appointment that will keep the fans onside and stop this p1ssing about, even a statement that could put them at ease but this 'silent treatment' with important news is really getting stretched now.

A defeat tomorrow and things could turn very ugly, fans are getting impatient and the worm is turning.
Even the whole non disclosure in regards to how much KLD owns stinks in my opinion.

Isn't that what I just said?
Its not unusual to do things this way. Its quite common on the continent.

i fear you may be right, early season we looked like promotion certainties and are now finding it hard to fathom how that team is now playing.

Which I why it should be left to a manager not somebody pushing a few buttons above him.
I couldn’t care less what they do on continent . The greatest managers in premier league history Ferguson, Wenger and Mourinho managed just fine with their own judgement and that of trusted colleagues.

Doing it the 'traditional' British way has got SAFC a long way over the past 86 years, hasn't it?
