Won’t get any argument me on that front marra.

The club have created a monster with the Keane leaks, as many have said if this fella was appointed within a couple days most would have been fine with it and we’d chance to have 3-6 extra points on the board as well.

No chance. Everton approached him, and he rejected the interview invitation.
He’s made it extremely clear all season that he wants to see it out with Derby, and try to keep them up.
Tbf I didn’t want Keane back. I would have probably preferred a more progressive appointment, but in terms of a realistic appointment with experience of the level above and someone who’s won promotion via a play off, he’s the best we’ll get.
We’d all take that now, although if he can get us up with the state of the current team it will be some achievement.

They would have known his demands from the start though. If they were not acceptable then you move on. It would appear we’ve tried to negotiate for well over a week, in the hope things change.

Fair point mate but sometimes you just have to ask the question.

He’s a much better option than McCann. But the club have made tits of themselves with the whole Keane farce.

Because Derby are a more stable alternative than us?

I dont believe it was ever going to be Keane. They've got into a position and tried to calm it and probably gave him a poor offer ao he knocks it back.

Had Neil been appointed last Monday, I’m confident we would have at least 4 more points

Wouldn’t have been against it myself! We need someone who will demand respect, and also ideally has played/managed at a high level and got results.
Keane, Rooney, etc fit that bill for me. Anyway, we’ll have to do with someone who will accept what Speakman has to say.

Yet the games we struggle in are when teams get at us.

My concern about the play off thing is that I always see them as a bit of a gamble. One bad performance, one daft red card or poor refereeing decision can decide the games, so I'm not sure having been lucky enough to win one (or two in his case) really suggests he's a good shout for any upcoming ones. Maybe not realistic with the teams he's had but I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a manager who has got a team winning consistently enough to get top two. Still, fans at former clubs seem to think he's decent so I guess we'd need to give it a go and hope it works. Enthusiasm will be at an all time low mind, it's not fair on him but he'll have a job just to get a fair section of the fans interested again. Got no faith in the direction this clubs going. If he improves us and we're in the play offs I'll no doubt allow optimism to get the better of me mind

We all hope he comes in and turns this around -tough ask but not impossible

I wouldn’t worry about too much. With us it was mainly because we didn’t have the quality of players. We lacked creativity badly. Your squad is definitely good enough.
