Its very negligent that, after being hammered in a (on paper) winnable game which cost Johnson his job, we've just lost an even more winnable one at home and they're even contemplating having that group of dafties on the sidleines for another.
It really is the death knell of our chances of automatic promotion.
Thry can stick the process up their arse if we finish 5th or 6th and get a harder tie in the play off semis (should we get there)

Just comedy, what a load of shi*e again.

If they were sacking him off you would have hoped they would have a plan, we have again impoded mid season, the starting 11 on Saturday was a reflection of just how thick they are.

I think McCann and Neil both play an attacking, high press so would both fit quite nicely. The advantage of Neil is that he took over Norwich in the January and then took them up to the Premier League via the play offs - pretty much what we want.

Cheers for that, I'd no idea. I'd prefer Keane, more for the lift I think it will give but my second choice has always been Neil, mainly cos I know he's got a decent record. Looks like would be a good fit too.

A scenario could be that they planned to appoint a Neil/McCann, who were available and fitted nicely into our model. Roy Keane may have then said he was interested via David Jones and that threw all plans into chaos. It could be Keane who is holding things up.

Had a spell as caretaker at Inverness last year but he was horrendous at Dundee - I don’t think he has the right qualities to become our new manager.

Never before has a football club botched a sacking like this.

They’ve binned off a manager and then been taken by surprise that they need a new one.

As someone else mentioned the club thought Donny at home was a guaranteed win. 100% thought that.

Backfired f***ing massively on them.

I agree, but they’re not mutually exclusive either. You should be able to get a manager in who can organise defensively, motivate AND play the same, or a similar style - and understand how to do so. I’m just not convinced Keane brings all 3.

That's pretty much my view. Keane is the bigger risk but potentially the bigger pay off. Neil would be a good appointment.

The more I think about it the more I really don't want Keane to come back simply because he should steer well clear of this absolute mess that KLD and Speakman have presided over. Between the cowards in the dressing room and those charlatans running the show he'd be on a hiding to nothing by coming back, all it would do is taint the legacy he has here and would give clubs another reason to think he's not worth touching with a bargepole.

Are you a Roy Keane fan over being an SAFC fan?

I'm only popping in and out of this thread, is it now consensus that KLD is a charlatan then?

Exactly, The narrative that some want to follow is Speakman is an amateurish bluffer who is destroying the club. By the end of today we could have Keane, Defoe and a squad full of young talent.

I mean he absolutely could be. Or we could just be waiting for Keane for some reason. What I know for absolute damn sure is that the volume of negativity towards Speakman would be about 90% less if we'd won on Saturday. People can't separate one thing from another and it leads them into an absolute spiral. It's pretty depressing in all honesty.
