My personal take on it is that he doesn't agree with the strategy the club want to take with signing younger players. In a previous press conference he said that there was no door to break down cos he kept banging in it to sign players. I've lost a lot of respect for him for doing this the day before a game which is live on Sky. The atmosphere will be a lot different than it would've been before all this

Mate you can dress it up all you like but neither side of this come out well.

IF we haven't delivered on a promise then name one manager who has got everything he has been promised?

IF he was that unhappy then why hasn't he walked away without another job?

There is more than just the club to blame here

Only hope is that Speakman learnt his lesson from last time and has a list ready to go

If its true we offered him a really low deal last week and thats why he's going, then we should be ready.

You know in the first instance I feel he was taken not for the long hall
However he has done a good job and wants rewarded with a big contract and rise
Maybe we have changed our stance on him and now want him
We shall see

Maybe he was not taken on for the long haul
Maybe we have some one lined up now
Or it that wishful thinking

This is about him not committing to the way the club want to work. He wanted more control but the club have their approach and wont change for him.

Is that a definite, mate? I'm fine with that. I'm not okay if we haven't matched Stokes offer.

Speakman has to go for me. Twice he has left us in the lurch due to his piss poor planning which is one of the main roles of his job.

Recruitment is in place with scouting systems and a head of recruitment who imo has done well with the players we have brought in. AN was backed in the window and it's simply incompetence from the DOF that has put us in this mess.

The way I see this, we were a stepping stone for AN, and the rolling year contract suited us both. Speakman failed to get a better deal in place after promotion and AN didn't like the model and signings that were being made.

Stoke are owned by bet365 who recently paid their owner £1 million a day.

Society is funked over by gambling and so is SAFC...

I'd like to thank AN for getting us where we are today and especially the win in my lifetime at Wembley. I'd also like to give Speakman a few days to sort the managers job out.

The club will always be in my heart, roll on the good times and looking forward to the match tomorrow. Hhhaaawwwwaaaaayyyyyyy the lads
