So what do you make of a canny ITK like Prehab over the road suggesting that there is an issue from Keane’s side with the ‘leadership’ group and that he wants assurances that there’ll be no interference from any element of it (he doesn’t name names).

Prehab hasn’t said it won’t happen but you seem categorical with don’t worry. How are you so confident?

Correct - in Reids day we called it 'Hunting in Packs' and we were brilliant at it.

The key to making hunting in packs work is discipline and fitness when closing down the opposition and denying them space.

Without discipline you are exposed to the weakest link and you can get smashed when it breaks down.
However if your fitness levels are super high then you can recover from a hunting in packs breakdown simply by being able to sprint back into position quickly.

It's not new and it's not tactical genius. It's just one way of playing if you have they type of squad that can make it work.
 
Christ if this doesn't happen I think the ITKs need to delete their accounts. A lot of posters are pinning their hopes on the ITKs

Roy will walk away if there’s unrest within the leadership team regarding his appointment.
We need him more than he needs us.

I don't agree with this mind.

Sure, Keane has a great punditry gig, but it's clear from several interviews in which he has made no secret of his desire to have another crack at management.

He's hardly been inundated with offers, and has only really had brief talks with a few clubs at Championship relegation level over the years that haven't really gone anywhere.

Now he has an opportunity to return to a club he knows, a club he will feel confident of getting promoted, and a club with a, quite frankly, ridiculous fanbase, setup and facilities at this level.

He doesn't need us per se, but it's highly unlikely he'll get such a perfect opportunity to get back into management ever again.

"All" he has to do is get us out of League One, a task he'll be very confident in completing, and his hero status here will elevate even further. It's perfect for him.

Just back from a night out and I’m not trawling through the 50-60 pages that have been added since I last looked.

Anyone give me a succinct update as to wtf is going on ?
