Speakman is very impressive and is shaping the club behind the scenes. Despite on the pitch debacles recently, player recruitment and hopefully manager recruitment have been outstanding. The decisiveness in the exit door is equally impressive. You don’t turn around a club overnight but iMHO are the signs are encouraging.over time this will translate to results on the pitch.

Speakman is an asset and we need to hang on to him

He can shape all he wants behind the scenes, without a men’s first team squad performing in the Premier League in the next couple of years it’s all for nothing.

The first team should be all anybody in that business should he focusing on, as harsh as that sounds.

Not sure Brentford worked like that. The seeds would have been sown with the young players before results or impact was seen on the pitch.

They’re not fit. We play three centre halves at the back. Recruitment hasn’t been excellent. Don’t be silly.

Keane is a 442 man. Recruitment for League 1 has been very good. Defoe, Clarke, Matele, Batth all bought in the last 2 weeks! If that’s not a good transfer window in League 1 I’m not sure what you’re expecting!

So Keane was all sewn up before the transfer windows shut was it?

To a degree, aye. But if you employ someone to carry out a role (and we have to assume KLD is happy with this set up) then you should really let them get on with it or we end up with meddling chairman who know nowt about football causing chaos a la Donald and Methven.

Mind, in terms of a manager it will most likely be a group decison anyway.

His boss has told him to recruit a manager

Maybe for the sporting director to do his job instead of post on here?

I mean, if you really think you’re doing a good job then we really are fucked.

There’s a transfer market.

We aren’t poor.

The kids will come through, but that’s a nice to have at this moment.

Sort out the first team squad. Everything else follows.
