What are you agreeing with? I plainly said right now he deserves to stay. If we aren’t ready for the season, then that’s on him.
We did with Connor Wickham in 2011, £8 million we paid for him and everyone was excited. Jobe is worth £15 mil at least
I probably agree but it's small beer and Speakman is rapidly approaching last chance saloon with (probably) the majority of fans. Appointing Beale was a fiasco and Robinson feels similar. So far Speakman has got off lightly. Supporting a football team is rarely a rational pastime.
Really hoping the club has a contingency plan and we get someone in this week. Transfer window opens the 14th and although the manager isn’t a key decision maker in the process, I think they should be consulted.
Aye, but if he shanks the window we are still better off than when he came and have players that have doubled in value, so I still wouldn’t get rid until we are sure we have someone better to take his place. If we have I agree with you
Yeah I was excited about Wickham, he had it all on paper. Fortunately Jobe's a much more sensible lad, he strikes me as the type who likes to stay home with a cup of green tea and an instructive book.
I've never mentioned at anytime who my preferred coach would be and I was a bit "meh" with still but I would've gave him a chance. My preference now would be 1st maric, 2nd rosenior. After that I haven't the foggiest
As soon as it became apparent that Still was playing games, I wanted Maric, I wouldnt go near Still now, I know next to nothing about either of them
I’m excited by the idea of Maric although it’s defineitly a risk. You don’t work with the clubs and head coaches he has by luck. He got overshadowed by Rohl but Cifuentes really impressed me with the job he did at QPR. He has a decent record prior to that and has worked in youth coaching at Ajax. He could be a really good fit. QPR fans are nervous about him leaving so he could be attainable.
I agree to a degree; and have been a big supporter of Speakman. I didn’t expect us to push on last year I said all along the overachievement of the season before might cause us issues and it did. On that basis I don’t say we regressed, but we didn’t improve last year, and in such a strong league that’s a problem, you are regressing indirectly. We were in league one and penniless when he came in so for me it’s far too simplified to say ‘are we better’, but we do need to get this one right. If we don’t on the back of the managerial debacles, we have to look at the decision maker. It wouldn’t be a ‘**** off..’ from me it would be a ‘thanks, but we need a change’. This is my 37th season as a season card holder mate. There’s no time for sentiment. We need to be moving forward. We need him to show he can balance us having good management, a genuinely competitive team and some assets for the club. It is in his control to nail this.
Problem is you know what it’s like to find a coach, I don’t think it will be any easier to find a better dof.
Can’t argue with that mate. Same token of something is on fire you wouldn’t sit back and watch it burn.
