I know what you're saying, but Birmingham are in the league above us.

I know we love our club and its the greatest in the world, but we sometimes have to take a reality check of where we are, new potential owners or not.

Responsible for the strategic direction of the Academy and the coaching delivery, Speakman leads an Academy Management Team on the operation of the Youth Department.

According to the article he was going to become their technical director in the summer but they pulled the plug.

He’s been head of their academy for 14 years so will have overseen the likes of Jude Bellingham, Demerai Gray, Nathan Redmond, Jack Butland and Jordan Mutch.
