Kristjaan Speakman

[BumbleBee]

From Schwarz and Poyet to Speakman and Johnson ......

This is the reality check I needed TBH.

Good luck to them. Have my backing and I have a sneaky suspicion they'll do well.

That's why they put it out to headhunters for the shortlisting. You know, we might just have incoming owners who recognise they aren't omniscient, and use people who have the knowledge to fill in the gaps.

who is ‘they’ then?

 

[CraigSAFC23]

There is absolutely no takeover happening.

How? New Owners wanted Director of Sporting..

One of the owners is already here man!!!! He has been for 2 n half years!!

 

[South Banker Wolf]

Am I the only one who thinks this is positive?

It is compared to hiring Johnson.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Pleased with that. This fella has been identified through what seems to be a proper process by people who have a good reputation. I'm happy to see where this leads - including the choice of manager.

And people still think Donald was behind this

 

[Dan The Man]

They have to say he’s working alongside Rodwell as he’s still at the club. Some nicker pissing here like

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Oh yes.

Well “here” is a loose term in this context.

You feeling a little more at ease when I said a week ago bout this type of stuff mate ?

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Why was rodwell always going to be alongside him?

Hes SDs man, he is working for SD, not the club. If SD is leaving, he wouldn't have a place here, surely?

Going to be years now until Donald etc go.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

K L-D and JS. Do you seriously think this was dreamt up by Stewart Donald. He hasn't got the brains or the imagination.

It’s clear that it’s a redistribution of shares. No fresh ideas, everything still done on the cheap and worst of all SD & CM still involved and integral to our continued establishment of a third tier outfit

 

[jazz]

Rodwell will be reporting to the new lot though and not CM. If Rodwell doesn’t perform he goes

Speakman did say working for the ownership group I take that as the new owners

Why is he still working at the club though? He’s blatantly incompetent and got the job as he’s Methvens mate. Should be peddled imo then people can get excited about a new ownership. No a chance he’s the best person for the job.

When people are saying this proves Donald is staying, there's a crucial announcement needed pronto.

How is it clear?

 

[Gaz]

Thats based on absolutely nothing and not even true

"New lot", one of them has owned the club for 2 and a half years

well Sartori and new fella appointed a company to appoint Sporting Director., it defo wasn’t a Rodwell or CM appointment.

Do you really think this new fella is taking on 40% shares without being 100% certain him and Sartori have full control of everything?

 

[Doberman]

Great appointment, great start to the new era.

He's going to be overseer of the office staff, that's all.
