would be my first choice as well I think.

I know it’s easy for coaches and managers to talk a good game but I really like the way he speaks about tactics and the way he wants his teams to play etc.

Might be some time I spent growing up in Belgium but I like the guy.

I'd be very excited if we appointed him.

Need him to commit early. Can’t be carrying on too long. I think he’d be an exciting appointment although I’m somewhat concerned with his clear agitating for a move.

To be fair, he didn't originally want the head coach job but Reims said he would have to buy himself out of the contract. I said it in December when we were linked and will say it again that I think he has serious issues with the Reims board and wants out but can't until someone pays the compo or he's sacked

Final game on the 18th May

I see Reims are on a bit of a poor run anyway. 2 wins from their last 11 games and currently 1-0 down at home…

Surely employment law allows him to quit his role within a notice period as written into the contract???

I know absolutely nothing of what goes on behind the scenes Magnus, but I do know about strategic planning and boardroom politics of big business. I said yesterday that Speakman will be gone in the summer. No owner/chair will accept a backward step in year three of a five year plan. Year three is the tipping point, everything should be in place for achievement in years four and/or five.
I hasten to add that's my opinion only based on my experience in business planning.

I’ve said a few times. A big business in a competitive space will either change personnel or structure or both if there’s a flaw and there is. If had a choice if keep Speakman for some bits but add a person to first team recruitment. Not sure his ego would swallow it like as that’s a demotion so that might mean he’d be off. Those saying he’s done no good are fools though.
