Kristjaan Speakman

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

Like I said earlier this week, this needs to be got over the line asap to put all this garbage to bed. When will people cotton on that Donald has zero interest in running the club, and just wants his second payday down the line?

No problem with Donald doing that at all. Problem is, from what it seems, his mate has other ideas.

Brum are Fookin shoite....

It’s a start and move forward at last

If this is the structure we're looking at, who does your gut say will be head coach? Any of the names mentioned or someone completely out of left-field?

What are we?

Actually, don't answer that.

I’ll just prepare to be disappointed!

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Would I be right in fearing you "know" the Cowleys aren't coming here.

If Speakman is coming, the head coach (I'm using the phrase deliberately) will not have full control. Either the Cowleys have had a step change in attitude, or they're not coming.

So we are appointing a Technical Director and a SD?

Looks that way, both involved in picking the manager.

 

[Scotlands number 9]

I like how he likes to have 5 academy products in the match day squad, massive fan of that and something we could easily do at the moment. Hume, diamond, Neil, embleton and gooch for a start. Then more to come through.

Schwarz still on the cards as SD? Can't see these appointing Cowleys personally?

Succession planning strategy, player progression pathways? What is this madness?

Absolute wizardry.

Good, isn't it? You'd almost think it wasn't Donald making the decisions.

Johnson, For me he's the only actual coach left amongst all that are rumoured to be interested. Cowleys are managers. Cook is a manager. Johnson is a coach first and foremost.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

There's an interview with him on the Player Development Project Podcast, no idea how insightful it is but I know some might be interested.

 

[thecloughywobble]

Absolute wizardry.

I can't decide if it's extraterrestrial or alchemical, so I'll compromise with heretical, Jacky, la.

I knew all along it was too good to be true. Good news for Ipswich Town though unfortunately. I found the fans on their message-board particularly obnoxious even by the standards of fans on football message-boards.

Depends how experienced they need to be - plenty out there who have coached but no managed, for example.

 

[Billy Batts]

Fuck, we're gonna end up with Gary monk ffs.
