    Why should Dodds and Proctor be sacked?

    Hopefully this bad press will force a rethink, KLD should be on the phone to Still and Speakman now.

    I suppose we’ll never know anything for certain but it’ll make sense if we appoint someone on his jack and expect him to work with the current coaching setup.

    Does this not seem like Still's agent playing games? At 1755 (as per Wheatsheaf's post) a French journo tweets that things are at a standstill with Lens and that we have been pushing hard, then at 1804 Walker tweets that things look over for us UNLESS there's a u-turn - I may be clutching at straws but there might be a few more twists to this yet

    Absolutely and this has been said so may times on here, that it would be an issue. And here we are.

    Ridiculous

    Can you cancel it when they have already taken installments?

    Staffing issues but also investment, two worrying areas

    A fair point, maybe he didn't want to take the demotion after stepping in 3 times last season?

    I’m having a meltdown about it and I’m happy to admit it. I’m furious.

    I think I’ve been incredibly fair to Speakman and KLD continuously. I’ve given them the benefit of the doubt always.

    having the national media reporting our first choice candidate has turned us down due to investment and staffing concerns is I think worse PR then many may think. We are about to try to sign several footballers but have had a very very public show that we aren’t the place to be.

    this is genuinely worst case scenario for the club. Instead of being able to just brush off Still and pretend he was one of several candidates, they now have stories in the national media that he was close and turned us down for reasons that’s make us look unattractive.

    so yeh I’m having a meltdown. I’m not even ashamed to admit it.

    my ideal scenario now is that we bring Maric in. I’d even settle for having him with Dodds as first team coach. But Speakman has to go. And I don’t think I’m going to change my mind on that even if he pulls a Steve Cooper out the bag.

    Is this purely Speakman or is KLD adamant with this strategy and Speakman is just following? If the former then he just needs to go, was on thin ice after the second half of last season undone a lot of his prior good work but if we repeat the Beale fiasco after having over 3 months to get it right, then its untenable for speakman.
