Le Bris the yes man

Getting interviewed in northern echo saying happy to go forward with current coaching staff if club can’t find the right candidates. I bet speakman and KLD love him already. How hard can it be to find a no 2 or coach. Load of absolute bullshit. I’m sure I read somewhere else over the weekend he didn’t want to talk about strikers either. Just what Speakman and KLD wanted someone who wouldn’t speak out against the model. Let the relegation battle commence.

On second thoughts, don’t, your threads are always great entertainment
 

the head coach has the final say, according to speakman, but the name is only proposed to the head coach after it has passed harvey, and then speakmans scurtiny. So the final person to express a view is the head coach, but no well run club any more lets the head coach make the decisions in isolation.
So afaik Speakman has never said that. And it would contradict what every manager who has worked under the new regime has said, as well as what Speakman- has said himself.

Speakman has described the decision making process as an 'absolute collaboration'- between himself le bris and others- but then in the same Interview also went on to say that 'as sporting director you are accountable for all of these things". Which is of course a contradiction. The only reasonable conclusion is that the decision making process is a collaboration, and Speakman makes the final decision. Which is my original point.
 
He’s doing a great job so far and long may it continue. Everyone else who posts on this forum must get every single thing right.
The thing is, you piss your pants before anything actually happens.

Maybe refrain from posting complete bollocks and you may save yourself from looking like a tit, although that ship sailed a while ago.
I bet “as you were “ is delighted to be as wrong as he is and is enjoying this as much as the rest of us …
Nope, probably has a draft ready to go for our next sticky spell.

Accountable and responsible are 2 different things
As sporting director he is accountable for all the signings that doesn’t mean he is responsible for the decision to make a signing or not

Why would he be accountable for a decision he didn't make?
Final decision doesn't mean he is involved in all levels of decision making. Just the last bit.
 
some posters astound me with their bare faced effrontery, arrogance and hypocrisy.
he wrote all aspects of the club off ( players, coaches and owners , directors etc ) before a ball was kicked and steadfastly refuses to admit he was utterly wrong and worse claims that those who pull him up on words have no right to do so and that he was entitled to his opinion and woe betide those who disagree or remind him of his stupidity and mendacity.
he is lowest of low, someone unable to admit error, show remorse ...be a man. his response is that of the lowliest of lowlifes, who slopes off when the heat is turned up and hides behind misinterpreted words and other tricks of the trade of those who excel at being incapable of of shown to be spineless crybabies.
we know who they are, they know who they are
