Really-ive not slated him at all but he and KLD do go to under 23 s ( credit to them )
So to give them two the reigns for make me wonder -have they actually been taking note of what goes on ?

Am I missing something here, didn’t Speakman employ LJ then sack him ?
Then at a critical stage of our season dilly dally and tell us we are calm and we are in no hurry ?

Tough question for Speakman that.

Did you
A. Employ the wrong manager
B. Recruit the wrong players
C. Jump the gun in sacking the manager

Surely at least one of the most be true

You are comparing a manager who as a serial winner spent 23 years weaving himself into the very fabric of MUFC, to one who may be parachuted in at stupidly short notice to rescue a single season threatening to hit the buffers.

Keane, if he is appointed, needs to hit the ground winning. The rest can wait.

As the self appointed, detached sage of this forum you don't half come out with a load of bollocks.

I’m happy if we just see players without that she’ll shocked look that we have seen too many times in recent years
I want to see aggressive faces who want to win -sick of being an “ easy touch” .

Different opinion = dickhead?

To be fair, I don’t rate Speakman at all but no way do ppl talk like that to someone with a different opinion face to face

:lol:

The amount of folk jumping to conclusions here man.

What's to say it's delayed due to RK's legal advisors / RK himself having logistical or other issues due to ITV commitments/his contract with them...whose to say RK has said he wants it announced Monday out of respect for his media duties today?

I am not taking any side here or however you want to put it, I'm just trying to look at it a bit more openly and objectively.

Highly doubt we'd have got the soundbites on Friday and earlier if it was at a stage below that to be honest. Just my opinion anyway.

Not claiming to think what I've said is likely the case, just trying to look at it from a glass half full perspective...

Probably Seb - not scrolling through 700 pages to check - but did like this in an article by Sunday Times writer David Walsh today, remembering a relatively recent conversation with Keane in November:

"He’s not arrogant, nor modest. He thought if he was somebody else scrutinising his CV he would wonder, “Why doesn’t that guy get another opportunity?” I wondered if there was a level of club beneath which he wouldn’t go? It didn’t work like that, he said. He was hoping to get another chance with a Premier League or a club close to the top of the Championship but then it wasn’t as cut and dried as that.

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. What is more, during his 2½ seasons at the club Keane felt he belonged. He liked the people at the club and felt the fans were fair to him. Hardworking people, he said, who liked footballers who worked hard."
