As journalists should they not then be addressing “why” nothing is imminent. Investigative, critical journalism - holding the club to account for their readers?

Journalism isn’t just writing down what someone tells you the story is (the club, an agent, a player/manager) and just repeating it.

And they aren’t doing that. Read Scott Wilson’s article today. Highly critical of the process not a puff piece.

Tin hat on, that doesn't sound as bad. It doesn't sound like there's a rigid process they're determined to follow with interview after interview etc.

It reads as if they want Keane, they're negotiating with him, and whilst that is ongoing they're doing a full process with the others to identify a back up should it fall through. What I like is the part that says the situation could change if agreement reached. Sounds very much like once Keane says he's good to go, the second interviews would be fucked off and he'd be appointed. God knows what the current sticking points are, but hopefully they're minor and if he says he's happy today then he could be announced. If we have to wait for him anyway we might as well be thorough with the others

"So Roy - look at this lovely data on the table, what does it tell you?"

"It tells me you've assembled a weak as piss squad of woefully inexperienced players, that's got a penchant for crumbling, and that you need to spend less f***ing time looking a spreadsheets and more time looking at football matches, you glorified organiser of youth team parents' evenings. Now fuck off back down to the academy and do what you've spent your whole career doing - shouting buzzwords at 15 year olds. ".

Correct. Evans scored but he really isn't suited to that forward role. That said Neil was having a terrible game and so clearly needs a rest. For tomorrow night the 2 in the middle should be Matete and Winchester imho.

I’d agree. It means the mythical T.Hume in at right back which I’d be amazed at though. Gooch can’t be put there.
 
Something that’s been touched on with various issues but hasn’t really come up as a proper discussion…..do we really believe Speakman is the right man for the job? If so, why? Just because he already has it?

He’s making a right farce of this and our squad looks less well balanced than it did a week ago.

“It tells me you just got beat 6-0 off Bolton and then 2-1 off a relegation threatened team. Get to fuck.”
