Kristjaan Speakman

You're assuming Donald has any remaining interest, other than a slug of cash down the line. Take Donald out (abstaining on any vote), and K L-D and JS have to work together.

And Rodders mate Methven?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Hmmmm. That’s interesting. Owt you can expand on?

Sadly no, because I have no corroboration (ie more than one source), so I was reticent about saying anything. It didn't look anything to worry about to me.

We’ll revisit this conversation in 12-18 months and let’s see who’s right

It will be interesting

 

[Nelson!]

Brum fans seem pleased on social media

Pleased he has gone?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

And Rodders mate Methven?

That will be within the gift of the other two, I think they'll be smart enough to keep him on a tighter leash than Donald could.

Speakman is man who speaks well. Comes across well in the interview on safc.com

 

[Coeus]

I'm happy with the SpD and think Johnson is an ok appointment.

But all that is dwarfed by the fact the owners appear to have basicaly just wiggled about a bit, using someone elses money to keep control. Particularly is the 40/40 split between Satori and this other fella is true.

I agree but my head will blow up if I get dragged down in it.

Time has long since passed that people leave the club.

Next best thing is to have someone intelligent creating the strategy and making the decision which is what we have now.

With the amount of shit we have had, ill happily take the next best thing for now.

I hated the lack of responsibility at the club, it was incredibly amateur, looking at the statement, he has been provided free reign which is not going into this half arsed like we have done before.

 

[Carley Hill wanderer]

Rodwell was never being sacked, He's there to do the admin. You seriously think Speakman would be appointed by the current onwership?

Exactly, the current lot wouldn't have the finance, vision or interest in progressing the club to appoint him

 

[Venkman]

Brum fans seem pleased on social media

Rather wish I hadn't read the response to the announcement from Brum on Twitter

 

[Banks]

It will be interesting

Fairly easy to predict negativity though when we have underachieved for decades

Nowts changed other than the fact we've employed someone who's job it is to totally change the footballing philosophy of the club

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

Now that things are happening, certainly. The appointment seems right - as does the remit. I've said all through this that I understand why people are on edge due to the dreadful Donald regime. We know that this type of appointment is not the sort of thing we'd get from Donald. Indeed he's said on more than one occasion he doesn't believe in this sort of system. And while Johnson wouldn't have been my pick, I'm happy to let the new man make decisions based on his own criteria. Basically, from now until I have reason to believe otherwise, Trust The Process

Edit: so long as Methven keeps his incompetent snout out of the road anyway!

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Pleased he has gone?

Aye mate. Doesn’t seem popular

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Very mixed opinions from Birmingham fans

Got a mate who's a coach for a London based club and this bloke is meant to be very highly rated. He's absolutely buzzing with this appointment.

 

[Scotlands number 9]

Bringing in a head of player recruitment too, we are bordering on a proper structure here.

 

[The Rat]

Theres no good mates in business mate, hell get dropped like a bad smell if he makes a big enough boo-boo.

Its not him specifically though, its the fact it means they still have an influence

This is the key for me, the man in charge of footballing decisions is making football decisions of his own accord. Thank the f***ing lord.

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 on the day we appoint a sporting director with total autonomy over the football side of the club? U ok hun?
