As much as it was right to get rid of LJ this just shows how much of a knee jerk reaction it was and now they’ve placed some absolute numpties in charge until we actually appoint someone else. There’s no time for this shite man we’ve got till the end of the season to finish as high as possible what’s the fannying on about?

I'm torn to be honest. If we've sacked Johnson to end up with McCann then we're no further forward and it wasn't the right decision to sack him. Regardless of wrong or right it was bad timing to sack him the day before the window shuts. regardless of what they say in their interviews it was a snap reaction to another bad defeat. If we'd lost 1 or 2 nil they'd have waited and got their ducks in a row before making a decision and we'd likely have beaten doncaster with him at the helm

Honestly I reckon you’d have given this response if he’d said “it’s 7th Feb today”. 😂

I’m sick of the shite these journos are peddling like.

Yeah that's what was rumoured last week and nothing new in the article. I'd hope things have moved on since then as why would Keane give up his lucrative punditry work just to the end of the season with no guarantees after that, totally justified to tell us where to stick it.

Tin hat on, that doesn't sound as bad. It doesn't sound like there's a rigid process they're determined to follow with interview after interview etc.

It reads as if they want Keane, they're negotiating with him, and whilst that is ongoing they're doing a full process with the others to identify a back up should it fall through. What I like is the part that says the situation could change if agreement reached. Sounds very much like once Keane says he's good to go, the second interviews would be fucked off and he'd be appointed. God knows what the current sticking points are, but hopefully they're minor and if he says he's happy today then he could be announced. If we have to wait for him anyway we might as well be thorough with the others

Up to you....I like not one single part of this utter clusterfuck.....

"So Roy - look at this lovely data on the table, what does it tell you?"

"It tells me you've assembled a weak as piss squad of woefully inexperienced players, that's got a penchant for crumbling, and that you need to spend less f***ing time looking a spreadsheets and more time looking at football matches, you glorified organiser of youth team parents' evenings. Now fuck off back down to the academy and do what you've spent your whole career doing - shouting buzzwords at 15 year olds. ".

I wonder if journos have filler timed tweets that get put out if there’s nowt to report/they have no insight?
 
Hi, said I wouldn’t make any other comment from my last quote, however I like Rubberface have been consistent that Roy Keane will be appointed our new Manager/Coach, which still remains the case.

Bookmakers have I believe now suspended betting.

Aye. It’s not journalism it’s speculation, but because he “works” for a media outlet we are supposed to attach credence to his utterings. He’s about as credible as anyone on here. Less so because he’s a mag mouthpiece.

True. Sacking Johnson and bringing in a McCann/Lennon is just totally wrong may as well have kept Johnson. At least we know with Keano it’ll be a different approach. It might work it might not but I’d rather try it than not

None of them have collectively, as a majority, got anything right on this over the last 7 days and most each day seem to be regurgitating things from each other on what they've heard from the previous 24 hour window.

Imo vast majority of them are clueless on this.

They just know because it involves Roy Keane it's bound to get clicks from every harry and joe.

Something that’s been touched on with various issues but hasn’t really come up as a proper discussion…..do we really believe Speakman is the right man for the job? If so, why? Just because he already has it?

He’s making a right farce of this and our squad looks less well balanced than it did a week ago.

This is the issue for me, regardless of whether or not Keane comes in. Speakman was an academy director at Birmingham. He has zero experience of being involved in first team football, let alone running the entire football operation of a club. His time here so far is hardly a glowing endorsement of his ability to step up to a job that is- based on his CV - a level above jobs he would usually hope to get.

Let's put Keane to one side for a moment and pick any one of the underwhelming alternatives - say Alex Neil. Why on Earth would we be outsourcing any of Alex Neil's power over first team affairs/recruitment/tactics/"philosophy", to a bloke who has no experience to speak of, outside running an academy?
