Every time he does something like this it just chips away at the credibility of KLD too.

16.00 June 7th statement by KLD.

This is the problem, the statement says something, a lot of fans read it as something completely different.
It's like the word "imminently" wipes all memory of what came just before it.

That in itself is a bit poo, if you dissect the statement.
‘hope’ isn’t a very powerful term. Using ‘expect’ or ‘plan’ etc. would have been more assertive and reassuring.

They wheeled Bruce out before this and we had the 'dont talk about football' supporter meeting. PR is worse than ever and it doesn't look like things are going to get better anytime soon unless a big rabbit is pulled from a hat.
That's because ownership should never publicly say they 'hope' for anything. Just do it or don't!

Unless it’s a manager dressed like a bugs bunny even that rabbit may not be enough
I can’t seriously believe it, it’s so illogical. There has to be something more, like just wages/signings input.
What I can’t understand is Wednesday can find a coach like Rohl in no time and sort it all out.

You'd want someone good enough to improve us but that's unlikely at present. With all this going on our recruitment will suffer. They had a full summer last year to plan ahead and failed miserably. God knows how this fiasco will effect this year

No idea, but the longer the club is in flux, the more any decent existing players maybe thinking time for a fresh challenge, then we have a summer of wheeling and dealing to do. Just no stability or direction atm as we just float along

Agree, they should just ignore the noise and get it done.
I’ve heard “putting Dodd’s development” as a priority but it makes absolutely no business or competitive sense whatsoever. Like none!
The only thing that makes SOME sense is he’s here until Bellingham’s gone but even that’s a stretch.
I can only assume their opinion is Dodds as a coach will he here longer than any Head Coach for continuity but even that is absolutely mental.

Then they should’ve just said “we hope to announce a new manager” which clearly isn’t positive, so they should’ve just said nothing.
It half makes sense if they thought it would force Still’s arm. Like showing how serious they were.

If we lose much more than Clarke we're going down. Even with Clarke away we need to replace him and get other holes in team filled. A huge amount of work to do and any new man should have input.
Exactly, he might be a really good coach, but unfortunately because of decisions made by the owner/speakman, he stinks of failure. If we are losing out on candidates because they are insisting on sticking with The Model and our backroom staff then it's absolutely crackers.
It doesn't need to be positive. I agree with your second point, the statement has achieved nowt, so why say it?

I’ve said it before any coach with any modicum of standing will not be breaking down the door to come here.
There’s too many restrictions only some fucker who’s desperate or a no hoper will get the job.
