Only problem is he doesn't seem to be able to employ the right manager and when he does he pisses him off within months and he ****s off to a team at the bottom of the table.
Quick question how many managers have we had since speakman arrived and at the moment we are managerless, not much point recruiting the right players if you have no one to lead them

Think Johnson was employed before Speakman came in so he's appointed 1 manager who got us promoted - so was the right decision. Imo its on Neil, if he isnt happy with the direction the club is going then he is best leaving. Yes Speakman has made mistakes but he's got more things right than wrong since joining. We have all been impressed with the recruitment since he has arrived. He is in it for the long term and that has to be his thinking, sounds like Neil wanted more control but the club has to go with what they believe is the right approach

McKenna or Manning for me.

I'm not sure on Manning's style of football, he seems a great coach but think we need a high pressing style of play as it suits our players and supporters. McKenna is a cracking shout, well respected and has done really well since going to Ipswich
 
I don't know about Manning. He's very young and at the end of the day didn't manage to get his team promoted. Maybe he's all about developing youth but I imagine any manager his age would be.
 
My biggest worry about this now is that it’s a “free ride” for the players tomorrow. Easy excuse ifwe lose!

Hopefully if what’s been said Neil had hardly any say there should be no change and they still come in

AS long as we get the right appointment. Would rather take the extra time to get the right appointment than rush it and get the wrong one

But we don't want to be slipping down the league and into the bottom half dozen while the board counts its pennies.

Just heard that audio about the lad who knows one of the players.

Said Neil was gutted and didn't want to go. Said Speakman didn't value him or back him and Stoke have offered him more money. Good luck to the bloke, got us promoted. However if that audio is true, then no matter whats goes on at our club, he was clearly tapped up last weekend. There's us buzzing with a win at Stoke, and there's Neil having secret meetings about taking the job. It was all arranged and sorted. O'Neils arse was barley out the seat and Alex is jumping in. Shocking from all involved, O'Neils still in the job and meanwhile somewhere in the Stadium....Like I say, if it's true.

Absolute bullshit, Neil had the clause put in his contract to be able to speak to other clubs and Neil is the one who had 12 month rolling contracts in his last job at Preston so no doubt his choice. He will no doubt spin it that this is down to the club, but the reality is the c#nt was always going to f#ck off and has done it in a underhand way.

I honestly have no idea but it's a massive appointment again. Critical time and we can not undo our good start.

Sooner rather than later too please. We can not babe Mike Dodds making any main decisions.

The timing is as bad as it could get with two home games and the end of the transfer window all in 5 days.

I’ve done a load of reading on the lad and despite some reservations I think I’d go out and get Manning in tomorrow.
