a data driven approach does not fit well will the Keane cultists' "He's the one true Messiah" approach

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the source of some tension between KLD and Speakman.

Nobody is saying Keane is the Messsiah so stop that stupid talke eh?

What we need is someone to come into the club and give some of them player a kick up the arse.

They got the last manager the sack by downing tools and then had the neck to complain to Speakman about the Club sacking him.

Nigh on 40,000 there yesterday and we see an inept and gutless performance. We need someone to come in and set standards.

Because people need someone to blame for yesterday's result and performance and we don't have a manager so he's getting the flack.

To be fair and I’m not saying it’s down to him but we removed the head coach and pretty much the same team was selected with pretty much the same result.

he wont be spending moeny here..transfer window is closed..though his signings record in the premier league era for safc were mediocre at best..
as for managing sdtaff..was horrific at it at ipswich and with ireland..alienated players and engdangered guys long term careers.

the staff he came to safc were good thats true.

I'd say they were better than mediocre in the main mate:
Jones
Reid
Malbranque
Chimbonda
Ferdinand
Cisse
Richardson
Gordon
All good players

Of course he made some bad buys such as Diouf, McCartney and Prica but which manager doesn't?

In fairness he put Dumb and Dumber in position yesterday. Same team and tactics following a 6-0 humping.

If Speakman was doing his job properly we should have had Johnson's replacement lined up to come straight in.

As we're all just plucking stuff out of the air, maybe KLD pulled the trigger and Speakman wasn't expecting it either.
 
kildaremackem said:
the job involves managing assets of many millions of pounds and a large staff..keane hasn horrific record on both those counts..he needs as many interviews as he can get to prove he has changed..and jobs of that seionirty are not given out on a whim

People like you are part of the problem at this club.

hthe club has had a mortagge agisnt it for years..drumaville did it, short did it..everyone did it.

Maybe they did, but the people you mention did it to enhance the playing staff though not to "fix a lift", and theirs was not secured against club properties either.

im staggered anyopne would think a job of that seniority is handed out any other way. and its to keanes advantage they do..he should interview better than nay of the others.

We've just fired the pilot mid flight and are now f***ing about interviewing while heading towards disaster.
