I think they always knew he wouldn’t come as his wage and other demands would be far in excess of what we could afford. Personally I think he would have been a disaster.

Lets see what happens to the attendances and see where we set the 'disaster' benchmark (And I mean the actual attendance, not tickets technically sold)
 
We can all see that they have made a mess of it.

Yesterday, after all this noises coming out of the ITKs, I started to think that perhaps Keane would be appointed but before that I always had my doubts as I suspected money would be a problem.

The frustrating thing is, on the Sunday we sacked Johnson, we all knew that the shortlist would likely to be Warnock, Neil, McCarthy and McCann (Lennon as an outsider). Had they just appointed one of those on the Monday, they wouldn’t be in this situation of looking total and utter tits

I don’t think that’ll happen. But the superiors will certainly be telt.

KLD and Speakman are very quickly going to learn some harsh lessons. And I hope they do learn. Both of them have been nothing short of utterly f***ing pathetic this week. Liking Instagram posts like a teenager, doing interviews on national radio talking about applicants from around the world, then the DoF talking about fact finding and process and shortlists a week after the previous manager was sacked.

This is as bad if not worse than anything the previous majority shareholder did. They’re all absolutely miles out of their depth.

The truth hurts. Johnson should still be manager. We should have bought another centre half and a like for like back up striker for Stewart and we would have got promoted.
Johnson failed because of recruitment and injuries.
Club were never going to be able to attract and accommodate anyone any better qualified than him.
Club is a third division club in all respects bar the fans and facilities. Once you remove that the stark facts are credible people will not put their neck on the line to manage in such a high pressure/expectation environment.
Keane was never going to work IMO and we have probably saved ourselves a load of pain. But Iam disappointed with Keane for not seeing earlier it could not work.
The journey would have been exciting for a time Iam sure. Now completely deflated fans won’t give the new guy anytime not when you consider poor Mike Dodds hasn’t been given any understanding.
This has probably broken the back of the fan base for good. The mismanagement is criminal, and it was never Johnson to blame.
We could end up back where we were in early 70s

What you are describing there mate is Speakman's failings it appears to me
 
He was in the studio at Old Trafford for the FA Cup game against Middlesbough and said there are lots of things to consider.
Tellingly he said the most important thing is the correct contract.
My first thought was 'the greedy get isn't coming'.
 
Went to bed reading comments about lights being on at LJ’s old house, lights being on at the SOL, and several of the ITK’s confirming Keane being appointed.

Woke up this morning to see Speakman has pissed off Keane and it’s now 2 horse race between McCann and Neil. How is this even possible?
