Can you imagine the second interview?

KS: So Roy, have you had a chance to think about our vision and how you can deliver it for us?

RK: Your f***ing vision? Your vision? You got dicked against Bolton and then at home to Doncaster. I could have done the team talks, watched them, and be planning for Tuesday - instead you’ve asked me to think about your vision.

KS: It’s essential you fit into what we’re trying to achieve here. If you can’t you might not be a good fit for us.

RK: A good fit for you? Fuck off. All I’m willing to do is try to win games whatever it takes. I expect you to move heaven and earth to give me and get me whatever I need to get those wins.

KS: I hear you but it’s very important to us that you understand what your role here is.

RK: Winning games isn’t it. You don’t have a lot of leverage lads. You’re in the shit.

KS: Yes but our plan involves you coaching a team not managing the football matters of the first team.

RK: You going to accept responsibility for the shit on the pitch, tactics and philosophy recently are you?

KS: It’s a project. Our vision.

RK: I’ll stay on ITV. Cheer lads. Nice to meet you.

KS: is that a yes then?

Out of all the tweets they could have picked they chose two tweets one who didn’t want him and the other said they didn’t think it would work. Robbie Savage quite funny about the voicemail though and Sutton at the end baffled we didn’t have a manager lined up.

I find it hard to believe that the club hierarchy are so incompetent to let this circus rock up at Cheltenham on Tuesday without a new manager in situ.

The whole point of sacking Johnson was supposed to be to signal that the playoffs weren’t enough. Leaving this appointment until after Saturday has already made the playoffs a high likelihood. Leaving it until after Tuesday would probably make the playoffs a certainty.

If this is the shambles that rolls in to town when you appoint a “Sporting Director”, give me a proper manager any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

No way we getting top two, playoffs a certainty....dream on.

It’s a sensible scenario but omits some other key details of Speakman’s interview!

Nearly all journalistic sources are reporting stages of interviews, shortlists of candidates and a long process. Our director of football basically confirmed that was the process yesterday.

I really want to believe that’s quite a way down the line and something is imminent. Not just for the sake of sanity but for the sake of the side. We cannot go into the Cheltenham game being managed by the temporary youth coaches. If we lose that our play off place looks in doubt let alone any dwindling aspirations of top two

Yes but these journalists are reporting these things today, a day after Speakman did the interview. I would report about shortlists and processes after listening to him yesterday, so maybe he is buying time. Just a thought anyway, Alex Neil for me all day long.

A very high likelihood of the play offs.

However 13 wins from 16 games (I know, I know, and I agree that we are shit at the moment) would still see us up automatically.

I’m not saying it isn’t a very, very long shot. However if we weren’t still intending to aim for it, sacking Johnson was a pointless farce.

You agreed with me earlier that opinion is what these threads are about. You liked my post when I said it.
Is it because said opinions differ from yours maybe?

When I’m making an opinion I always say “in my opinion” and yep these threads are all about opinions. I’m not too keen on people who say stuff like “speakman is arrogant, he’s against Keane” and don’t follow up with it’s just their opinion cos as far as I’ve seen there’s nothing factual of the sort out there on this.

Sea to shining sea and Andy......
Don't waste your breath on this man. Plank is right.
 
Surely whoever it is, hopefully Keane, will be appointed by 10 bells the morn and crack straight on with training in preparation for Cheltenham on Tuesday night ffs.

And using the example of him chinning KLD (im not saying this happened btw, just using it as an example to illustrate the point) they would have to sack him, no?

This isn't a defence either btw. I just can't see how they had nobody at all identified or why they were backing him so strongly in the market merely days before he was pumped.

I think something definitely happened, outside of the loss at Bolton.
