Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

[Eric gates hair]

yes that was a bad window-no one disputes that..the head of recruitment is the person who identifies the players..nothing to do with speakman...but the strategy underpinning it was flawed as mowbray highlight about a year ago...
he was fired..and many on this board rejoiced..

Keyboard repaired ?

 

[Walmo]

no player is signed by the club without the head coaches approval..fact.
Speakman has never worked as a scout..he couldnt find a player..no background in it

I see you're back to knowing the exact inner workings of the club again.

You do know it's one full stop to finish a sentence don't you? Also, each new sentence should begin with a capital letter.

Every player who came in had Mowbray’s approval ?

We know Speakman has no background but he approves them

so the new head coach said yes to moore and brown ?

We've signed players when we haven't even had a head coach mind. I think the head coach has little say on who we sign.

Most were surprised and no one rejoiced.

Sounds like a quote from the New Testament.

 

[Football Dinosaur]

Definitely Speakman that.

“Guinea striker, French 2nd division. Talk to me.”

He'd be the Ugandan dollar con artist

Browne said himself in his interview he waited to speak to the manager. Moore doesn’t really matter he’s a backup goalkeeper

not when the position was vacant..but do any of you think dack wasnt a mowbray recommendation?

 

[me is back]

Who is the striker Foshpaste said we had a bid rejected for? Jebbison?

 

[tunstall birdman]

Erling Haaland.

 

[me is back]

Erling Haaland.

Can’t believe they turned down £2.5m. He’s not worth half that

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

despite the fact the club has signed loads of players over the past two years that are good enough to be regualr starters.?

It was obvious I meant in the striker position

 

[Karlsson]

Absolute and utter rubbish he is the DOF, he plays a major role agrees the strategy with the owner. He may require ultimate approval from KLD to sign the player but he as DOF brings them to the club, or are you saying KLD does all the negotiating and Speakman has no say!!

Exactly! Pointless even having a DOF if that were the case!

And do you think tony mowbray knew much of anything about benette and others

 

[scott934]

And do you think tony mowbray knew much of anything about benette and others

Bennette was signed in the last days of Alex Neil IIRC.

This post massively highlights the issue some have with Speakman. They don’t understand what he actually does.

A director of football is essentially a middle man between the owners, the coaches and the recruitment staff. The owners will outline the strategy and budget. Speakman will have nowhere near as much of a say as people think.

This will be why he's overlooking the shoulder of every player in every signing picture since he arrived
What a load of tosh.
I also consider myself a good judge of character. I know a control freak when I see one too.

You've met him personally then to judge his character?
