This place used to be decent it’s just embarrassing now it really is
Anyone who thinks SD has had anything to do with the new manager, the sporting director of in fact has has Anything to do with the massive restructure that will and is happening is a f***ing idiot
Donald and Charlie will have shares - yes not what we wanted granted however they will do next to nothing at the club
They will hang around until satori and KFD settle in and find someone to buy them both out. It’s a transition
Really is not hard to follow
As for johnson, he will do well, young head coach who can build and work within the new structure that is going to be in place! Any other league one club and the vast majority of championship teams would see him as a good appointment

I’m not foaming at the thought of Johnson, however it’s league 1. After we fucked up Poyet he’s potentially best of a bad bunch.
The January window is key for me as we need investment, salary cap or not. Johnson’s first task is to get a tune out of Grigg, if he can do that we’ve got a goal threat again. Needs 4 wins out the next 5 games like, otherwise fans will be wanting his head.
What’s the massive restructure? The SpD? Or is there more to come?

if he can get mcgeady gooch grigg maguire and o nien in centre midfield that massively increases our goal threat.

Think he means KS. His first job after the coach is getting a head of recruitment in.

I’m hoping for an attacking 433. Grigg in the middle with Embleton and McGeady either side. For me Leadbitter needs to play as a sitting midfielder and I really want to see Neil in. So that’s 1 spot left for O’Nien, Maguire or Gooch. Johnson isn’t gonna please everybody but if he sticks with this defensive setup playing none of the youth we’ve got then just f***ing pointless.
KS you mean?
Thought I had missed a Juan Sartori interview man.
He got me all excited!
Definitely all positive steps as far as I can see, hopefully we see it through and have/get good people.

It's very interesting to say the least! I'm very cautious given the empty promises we've heard before but if implemented the things that are talk about in player development, a scientific approach to analytics and fitness and finally player recruitment at all levels sounds exactly what we've been crying out for!
Very interesting that the Head Coach is seen as one part of the much bigger picture, perhaps this highlights why so many have failed before in the poor set up and lack of structure at the club.

i completely get everything you are saying however... whilst they are still at the club in some capacity, particularly now as we are lead to believe Rodwell (their man) has recruited Speakman, supporters will be sceptical and will struggle to get behind this ‘new era’.
‘Rightly’ or ‘wrongly’ I can understand the negativity, bottom line is they need to fuck off before the trust is restored.
Any appointment made that is tarnished with the Donald/Methvan brush will be met with negativity.

Despite L'Équipe stating two weeks ago that K L-D and JS had got a shortlist together? Rodwell has had bugger all to do with this, nor have SD or CM.

You have missed my point completely mate. As I said whilst Donald/Methvan/Rodwell are still at the club people will be sceptical. Surely that is not too hard to understand given what has a proceeded today?

They can be sceptical if they like, but that doesn't make them right. I'll agree that a clean break would be for the best, but that's not to be.

I get that but for many, anything and I mean ANYTHING associated to MSD will not be accepted until success on the pitch is seen. I don’t blame fans for thinking this and no supporter should be dug out for having this view.
