Speakman is clearly the new enemy for our Neanderthals

He’s under pressure to get this right, not just from us but from his superior to. That doesn’t make people Neanderthals for pointing it out.

Our recruitment has left us quite imbalanced and inexperienced and we’re now managerless and drifting in the league. He, like Johnson, has responsibility for that
 
In the Speakman interview yesterday he said that they it wasn't just the interviewee (ie Keane etc) but they also had to talk to their lawyers and agents.

We also have people quoting the 'Rooney rule' and needing to demonstrate we shortlisted and interviewed a BAME candidate.

Watford appointed Hodgson in a day or so after Ranieri was fired. Did they credibly comply with the 'Rooney rule' ?
Did they get around it by saying Hodgson was a temporary appointment while they go through 'due process' for the permanent appointment?.

Many on here talking as if Keane is the only answer and that Speakman and KLD are boxed into a corner that any other appointment is an anti-climax and whoever it is will have negativity from day one and never be given a fair chance.

I seem to be in a minority to want to let KLD do it properly and what ever the outcome (Keane or another) this will be their man for their plan.

Frightening how much clout he appears to have at our club

He is the Director of Football so you'd expect him to have some clout to be fair. I don't think he's covered himself in glory over the last week or so but he's tried at least to bring in some promising prospects. I'm still on the fence about him.

David Walsh of the Sunday Times on Roy Keane & TS Eliot:


You must be logged on to see external links

Snippet:

"What did he mean? It would depend upon the club, he said. And then he brought up Sunderland. The point was that if by some freak of disastrous results, Sunderland lost their place in the Football League and he was asked to become their manager, he would seriously consider the offer. Even if they were non-League, Sunderland, he said, were a club with a fine history, a great stadium, a big and passionate following."

That's lifted me. Only Billy Fuckwit can balls this up now. I think whatever he does, either bring him in or not, he will be gone within 6 months.i despise Corporate Bullshitters like Speakman, I work with some of them every day who then take plaudits for what the people who do the work achieve.

Speakman is probably aware his time is up.
