Speakman, his appointment “aligns with our core principles”.

Is this guy for real with his constant pseudo intellectual corporate bullshit? David Brent lives. No wonder he appointed POMO Bomb Alley good between the boxes Johnson!

You imply two things:

1. The club turned Keane down. I think it’s far more likely - basically because that’s what we’ve been told and Keane himself hasn’t denied it - that he turned the club down.

(And probably stringed us along, changed his mind - like he did the first time, considerably delaying his eventual appointment, lest we forget that, made demands etc and generally fucked us about. Probably an unpopular view, but it’s mine)

2. Neil needs to be a ‘football genius’ to be a better prospect as manager than Keane. That’s obviously not true. Keane would have been a risky appointment for league one for all the reasons that have hounded him throughout his career, even whilst playing. We all know what they are.

Point 1. Yes, I agree. I don't blame him if what he saw was that the club wouldn't give him a decent deal, the club wouldn't invest in the players he chose, the club wouldn't give him a decent crack i.e. at least an 18 month contract.

Point 2. Keane already is a genius as well as being well-loved by most people here. OK A 1-1 against the mighty AFC Wimbledon is not Neil's fault. It can't be as it was just a game to let him see how bad we are n.owadays. However, Keane has special qualities. He knows how to motivate, he knows how to speak to the likes of the knacker that is Speakman. He knows what a good transfer is and what could get us back to the Championship for a first step. So yes, if Neil can do this as well but even better than Keane, than fair enough. Time will tell...again.

The faith placed in us by our supporters?

I just wish he'd fuck off tbh. I might get a bit of faith back.

I will support Neil and hope he does well but what a totally underwhelming appointment.

This Club is rotten to the Core

Until those 3 f***ing Conmen are gone the Club is dead. I've never felt as disillusioned & underwhelmed by SAFC in my 50 years as a supporter, and God knows I've seen some shite over the years.

They have taken the piss far too long now and I'm sick of having my weekends ruined by this set of useless, incompetent, thieving Twats.

The sight of that smarmy bastard in the Directors box at Cheltenham made me sick to my stomach and Spackman is the Corporate, data lead, PowerPoint Brent wannabe creep that I despise.

The Club will not move forward even if we go up via the Play offs as they won't invest. I'm f***ing ashamed of them.

They're not getting another penny out of me. I'll be back when they're gone.

Unfortunately not. 2 reasons. I've lived in South Wales for about 6 years so had little chance of a ticket & 2. I wouldnt have felt right taking a ticket I've not earned anyway in place of someone more deserving. I've seen us at Wembley 6 times including the Mercantile thing in '87 I think & not seen us win there live. I was 5 when we won the Cup. I watched it on NOW. I was delighted we went up. I was totally wrong about Neil. I still want Speakman out & I still want the Conmen out.
