New Head Coach

[Smug in Boots]

This bloke is clearly a very poor choice. Speakman has managed to give the job to someone nobody wanted and who doesn't have much of a record.

The enthusiasm is draining away from the club and has been since the day after the Leeds game.

Is this Neil, Mowbray or Beale you're on about?

It’s too early to judge how this is going to go with Beale and the current ownership have got plenty wrong, but there’s a lot of people got very short memories and seem to have forgotten just what a **** show we were in very recent history.

Beale - the other two had been managers with half decent records.

This chancer is seriously unpopular from both of his failed and brief stints prior imo.

This will not end well or last very long I'm absolutely convinced - the vibe around the place yesterday was telling and Beale served up the opposite of a new manager bounce.

Ive read online some supporters saying stuff like 'Get rid of KLD. He just doesnt 'get' the club and is just interested in balancing the books. Cheapskate etc. We need an owner who knows what it means to supporters, somebody who supports the club etc'

FFS! How many owners nowadays actually have a genuine affection for the club they own? I just say that being able to balance the books these days is an achievement in itself and compare the players we have now compared to the ones we had 3 seasons ago. That just smells of successful ownership to me.

Whilst you have taken everything to the extreme of views, people are allowed to question the lack of improvement off the field.

You have dismissed this as people whinging they can't buy a shirt.

In a very short space of time the off the field operations became even more crucial for all clubs and especially ones that aim to be self sustainable. The new ffp and sustainability rules that are incoming I thought only maxed our wages to 70% of turnover


i was corrected yesterday and its actually wages and transfer spend less than 70% of turnover plus transfer income.

So if its OK, I will keep criticising the club tominprove things off the field as its hugely linked to our ability on it

There’s a hell of a difference between criticising the club for honest reasons, and whining and winging on like a tart. I believe you even realise that mate.

The vibe around the place, when McMenemy arrived, was triumphant ...

... how wrong we were

Of course I do, I get frustrated that at times it feels that any criticism results in being labelled a wailing fanny.

On the plus side, wailing fanny had become on of my go to phrases at work

To me this is like the whole TM thing and getting him out. As mentioned careful what you wish for. How would the ‘fans’ feel if KLD sells out to another company in Saudi Arabia? The young lad is doing a good job steering our club to where it needs to be. KS is under pressure at the moment due to decisions over the Summer but I’m quite sure he like everyone else at the club if he is not performing KLD will make the appropriate decisions. Let’s just keep moving forward war with stability and focus HTL!!!

I think KLD will read some posts on here and feel proud, he’ll read others and think what sad bastard wrote that, then he’ll think oh! I know.

Hate to tell you mate, but you’ve got two and a half years to whine in front of you. Personally I hope he’s here the full two and a half years + some.

Back towards league 1 if he is

Any chance you could do the lottery for me?

That's a bit unfair imo.

Reasonable criticism about Jobe being included/excluded is fair enough and reasonably debated ...

... claiming the club is bowing down to Newcastle, avoiding the PL or selling off our stars is worthy of being called a fanny imo.

Sorry if you fall into that category.

I was 17 then and I have never been so excited about a new Sundland manager in my life! Think we lost the first 5 games without scoring a goal iirc. The start of a terrible era.

True but that has nothing to do with the vibe being negative from the get go on this one and it's for good reason.

£100 bet?

He reads here?

Hi Mr KLD,

Can I have 2 free directors box seats for my Dad and Auntie please?

They are both getting on and could do with a nice padded seat and warm bit for coffee and tea.

Thanks

His QPR stint as head coach was good albeit brief, his managerial stint at Rangers was not great but he his biggest downfall was his player signings which he is not in charge of here so his time at Rangers is irrelevant.

The negative vibe doesn't represent the whole of the support ...

... just the whole of those who are negative.

I bet you would find it hard to find a post where they are called a wailing Fanny for criticising the club.

I fall in the category of wanting our club to be the absolute best and I will die on the hill of wanting the commercial side side firing on all cylinders.

The playing side, I like Jobe he isn't his brother but there is a player there (think I have probably said that about every player)

The commercial side is the husk off a peanut compared to what Newcastle have ...

... unless we sell our souls the chance of PL success is absolutely gone forever.
