Kristjaan Speakman

[TDalt]

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

Exactly, silence isn’t golden in this regard. They need to make it clear publicly what the structure is and what their plans are.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

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.

Well Sartori was already an owner. He’s been involved here for three years. It’s a shame he remembered he had these headhunter contacts just now because we’ve been shite for the duration of his time here

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

Hope that’s all mate. Like I say he’s made a mess of it so far. Apparently got a big mouth anarl. Not a likeable bloke.

 

[The Rat]

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?

I think if he wanted 100% control of everything mate he'd just buy the club outright

Seems like he is investing in Madrox to me.

No idea how you can have so much faith in Satori, I am genuinely baffled, what has he done to earn this trust? Genuine question.

Yep I think its obviously not Donald and co but some people...

Is anybody disputing that? He is staying isn't he. The question is how much influence will he have. I think Donald is actually less of a concern than Methven now, it's been rumoured he will have a role and Rowell is his mate iirc.

 

[Ashley In!!]

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

You have no idea if this is true. Pure speculation.

 

[rubberface]

Rodwell, Sartori, Donald and Methven can all fuck clean off like. Virtually impossible to get excited by anything the club does whilst those scumbags have any involvement whatsoever.

It is very underwhelming imo after all this length of time talking about 'new era'. Just my opinion tho

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Hope that’s all mate. Like I say he’s made a mess of it so far. Apparently got a big mouth anarl. Not a likeable bloke.

The amount Speakman will be taking on, and that Lowes will still be running finance, that's all that's left.

 

[MadMackem10]

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

No fresh ideas? That is literally what this appointment is a fresh idea, total new structure to the club, one that donald could not afford

 

[Nelson!]

I believe gus has been in the loop for weeks at least, as has the role. That explanation doesn't add up to me.

The quote about being grateful for “autonomy” stood out to me. Poyet only wants to work in a collaborative way, not being told “here are the players, you coach them”.

 

[dcl0sc]

I know- and Pochettino is looking for a job as well and we don’t even interview him. Fucks sake.

We have the chance to employ a progressive coach, who will lead us for the next five/6 years, hopefully to get us within touching distance of the Premier. LJ will not do that. We'll be in this league next year and the year after, then he'll be sacked and we'll be straight back to square one.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

The amount Speakman will be taking on, and that Lowes will still be running finance, that's all that's left.

So aside from a co-owner, the CEO and the head of finance it’s an overhaul?

 

[Coeus]

Going to be years now until Donald etc go.

You know what, fuck it.

I wanted a dof, spd. We got one and I dont think he is a bad appointment.

Most important thing at the club is responsibility, and this chap has just stated its on him.

If he wants Johnson, so be it. Just as long as if it goes wrong, he accepts responsibility and changes accordingly.

Going to stop being a grump and take the good news that we've been given.

 

[Deleted member 13050]

So the restructuring has started. Good.

I'm pleased the structure is being put in place while having reservations of the personnel occupying them. Looking forward to the proving me wrong.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Donald is out, mentally if not physically, Methven will want his fingers in something, but with SD passive, what that is is entirely down to the other two.

I’m not sure to be honest.

Takeover still hasn’t been announced, but appointments being made. What happens if it falls through? Would they risk that?

 

[ir35]

Ah the good old nappy and bed wetting remarks start all over again. Those comments are like a warm returning embrace

If you don’t like it , fuck off. Is that better.

If the nappy fits.................................

 

[the dark one]

Best of luck to him.

He'll need the fucker.
