Initial talks, first interview, second interview. Anyone would think the club was appointing a new head of IT rather than a football manager.
How can a club get to the point where the current manager is on thin ice (i.e. before the Bolton game) without planning and preparing for the scenario of needing to find a replacement? Are the people running the club deluded enough to think that they are serious about getting back to the big time?
Sometimes I think that SAFC are the club that never learns from mistakes, repeating the same ones again and again. Occasionally we exceed expectations and find new and innovative ways to mess up.
Whether it's Roy Keane or not, we need a manager who can organise a team on the pitch. Not someone good at PowerPoint presentations and management buzzwords. We need that manager fast.

Or anyone could think it's all bollocks and no one has a clue what is going on.

I've never really believed it since the day he rocked up. That's not to say I think he's the wrong man, but the jury is well and truly out, and it was always gonna take a bit of time to fathom it out.

The appointment and prolonged backing of Johnson were questionable. Our business in the transfer windows has been questionable. The club on paper being no further forward than it was four years ago is questionable - irrespective of all the bluff and bluster about philosophies, long term plans, and whatever other shite they come out with.

We're 4th in League 1, behind clubs that finished 13th and 20th last season. Don't talk to me about progress.

Worth noting you also said selling Flanagan was right and we have more than enough Defenders

Literally totally disproved in the first game

It doesn't mean that at all. It sounds like we've offered Keane the job but the contractuals haven't been finalised yet. We'd be daft not to keep speaking to other candidates while that is sorted. If it falls through for whatever reason we need to have a second choice ready.

Now I have no idea how football recruitment works but, second interviews? I can't see Roy Keane being at all receptive to that.

I'm increasingly convinced that's Speakman's game tbh, so that he can end up appointing someone more compliant while claiming they tried to bring Keane in.

Keane wouldn't exactly be the most difficult person to wind up to the point that he tells the club where to go.
