    Serious, serious questions need asking now, he’s let flannigan go without any cover and left our defence even lighter when clean sheets were a concern earlier in the season, now this manager fiasco.

    He tries to sound intelligent, but he’s in-fact a brain dead chancer. Get him out of this club.

    Maybe, but as he might say, " the forward trajectory of the project is paramount in our ongoing vision for the achievement our future and interim objectives."

    Blah blah blah blah.....

    Talks well but the last 14 days have been the ultimate incompetence. Normally in the private sectors, heads roll with such performance and outcomes.

    Its a results business. Bin him. I'd stick with the DOF structure personally, but with someone who has achieved things instead.

    To be honest, I don't think he even talks well. It's all buzz words, cliches, corporate group speak.

    In my English, it's bullshit. The type of crap these people use to talk to each other and convince each other it sounds good. Pretentious waffle, and it is the scourge of the country.

    It is a results business but the whole point of sport is that its unpredictable. If it was predictable, no one would be interested.

    you could argue that if the 6-0 defeat was enough of a shock to suddenly sack your manager, the last 10 days has been enough to sack your sporting director

    either way - he’s managed to drag us to our lowest ever point, whether it’s his fault or not

    If KLD wants this club to move forward he should give RK full licence to do a complete overhaul of the structure at Safc. Allow him to bring in a whole new backroom team and have full autonomy to appoint. He knows more about football than Speakman has forgot. Start planning now as if this season is a write-off and go again in August. If we scrape into the play-offs, take it and have a go.

    As far as I'm concerned he's done well so far and this is his first clear mistake. Unfortunately it's a big one and may cost us promotion. Whether it's all on him or not I don't know but Keane should have been managing us well before this game if you believe the ITKs on here, which I personally do.

    He’s blown our season apart in 10 days.
    He’s lost all credibility and I’d love to see the grin on Keane’s face when he returns cap in hand and gives in to whatever he wants.

    If I ****ed up as much as he has in the last 4-6 weeks I’d be chopped.

    And I’m ****ing good at my job.

    He may have done well in recruiting players, maybe, we'll see.

    But his role is wider than that, and as the man who essential runs the football operation he is presiding over a shocking state of affairs.

    We can say with Othello, " Chaos is come again".

    Maybe so, but sport and business aren't comparable.
