Can we put the pitch-forks away now?

This place has been a pure lynch-mob for weeks now, it’s horrible to read and enough is enough already.

The way everyone has turned on Speakman and KLD so quickly is crazy.

Speakman is human, humans make mistakes. Much in the same way Jermaine Defoe won’t score with every shot he takes, Speakman won’t get every move he makes right either.

Overall I’d say he’s done a good job here. Under his stewardship we have swapped McFadzeon for Cirkin, Pritchard for Maguire, Stewart for Wyke, we got a replacement for Burge which I didn’t personally think was necessary but each to their own, the new signing Clark looks class and Matete looks decent. In fact almost every player we have signed seems to be an improvement on the player they have replaced. The club seems to have a structure now with a good scouting networks, and on the whole the football has been a lot more enjoyable to watch than under Jurassic Parkinson and Jack Ross.

Alright he’s fucked up letting too many defenders go at once, and something has definitely happened behind the scenes with Lee Johnson being sacked. But be honest now, were any of you that are calling for Speakman head now, not calling for Johnson’s head before he was sacked?

I kind of understood it when peoples knives were out for Stewart, but wanting KLD and Speakman out baffles me.

I just think we need to move away from the toxic atmosphere and try to support our team. Mistakes have happened, that’s life, dust yourself off and go again.

Anyway, come at me bed-wetters :lol:
Seriously ? are you on this feckin planet ? So you think the supporters of this club have no reason or justification to have any anger towards KLD and Speakman. By your own admission hes left us in the lurch defensively as for KLD his honesty and integrity has been seriously been brought into question these last two weeks with his reluctance to disclose the share percentage situation. Add to that his 'broken promise' with regard to getting the pitch the pitch sorted. His entire association with those two chancers has flushed all credibility he had down the bog in one foul flush....
 
Wigan seem to have done ok with 1 transfer window mind, and they are nowhere near the club we are.
Or this could be the culmination of the last two summer windows. They would have used the first summer after relegation to clear out and start building for L1, which kept them up, and the second window to kick on.

Nope, they signed loads of players in the summer just gone. Basically their full squad. I think 20 according to this.

What if he doesn't want to, and makes his own decisions and doesn't pander to some noisy subset of fans who got all upset when Charlie called them names.

This ^^^

There's a growing section of fans who cannot accept that football is a game where you don't always win. When we don't win, it's becoming like a game of who's to blame now.
So you think the last couple of weeks has been acceptable.
 
Not sure why you quoted me as I never said it was acceptable. You are absolutely right - after a year or two of proper planning and strategy you will walk the league. Everything has been reset in January 2022, so it will take until end of season 2022-2023 at least to properly see the benefit of AN building a team in the summer. He may need summer 2023 as well as building a whole squad overnight in one summer rarely works.


Correct. Hence my posts. There won’t be any visible building until Summer, but AN will be working with the players behind the scenes and already planning what is needed in the Summer.
A year or two of proper planning :lol:

They were in administration.

No, the club continues to still f**k up on a weekly basis...
 
There’s a large disparity behind only saying happy things, and constantly demanding somebody is sacked. How many posts have you seen in the last couple of weeks to the effect of “that’s is, so long as KLD and Speakman are at this club I’m not attending another game”
Until a couple of weeks ago it was largely considered that they were doing a good job.
But now they are being seen as liars. They are taking us for a ride!
