Very disappointing for those wanting him to crucify Speakman and KLD I suppose

 

[dangermows]

KLD out.

Is that the type of person he is though? I reckon he’s still a bit miffed but is just holding it back in public.

"The model is what it is". He still think its shite but is displaying expected decorum. Good ol Mowbsy.

 

[HABA87]

He was on his way out, the timing was a bit odd.

Even odder when we didn't have a replacement.

The Leeds match was class mind.

Dear me

"My life-work balance was important. At Blackburn, I was two-and-a-half hours away from my doorstep, seeing my kids grow up twice a week for five years.

"I made a call when the Sunderland job was offered; I could live at home, see my family every night, eat with them and, occasionally, take them to school. The rivalry of a local derby went out the window."

Then he goes to brum. Honestly expected him to pack in after us, must have plenty coin.

I'm glad he understands it, because I f***ing don't.
Ridiculous decision.

Explained by the fact as soon as he questioned the owner he was almost immediately jettisoned. The Beale fits the bill.

Says we wanted to make brave decisions - then we appoint Beale!

Absolute weapon you are.

Probably. But let’s not pretend loads aren’t hoping he says something this weekend as ammunition

Tbf, employing a career failure like MB was brave mind

Very brave to appoint someone absolutely shite that the fans don't like tbf.

This.

I'm tempted to believe that it was a mutual decision for him to leave SAFC. He clearly got frustrated with our model and having no input into the players he worked with so walked.

I didn’t want him to leave. But his only signing was Dack…………..

Should have been peddled prior to the start of the season, when he came out with the nonsense he did the night before the first game, the writing was on the wall.

I didn't want him to go either and put his not so good record in the end down to his frustration. I think he'd had enough.
