Speakman gone

[WishyWashy]

Are we also allowed to say for the fantastic job he did which is undeniable btw!

He is also not exactly fondly spoken of by the players and ex players due to his erm how can we say it way of treating them from a 'business is business' perspective. It's worked up to this point but we also now know we are in a whole new market and PL level players will not put up with that side of things if it goes west.

I wonder if this and also the fact the one player we recruited on the back of it being his target for many windows (Adingra) has changed opinions if he is cut out to continue us to push forward in the PL.

Not many of the ‘old guard’ left. Bruce maybe the only one?

 

[Weststand]

Back to Birmingham maybe?

 

[Onlyfoolsrushin]

We've been ruthless with players, why not backroom staff etc.

 

[Safc98]

Yep. See the Alan Browne threads too for the same thing.

There’s Alan Browne threads?

Speakman has done an incredible job, the best person running the club in my lifetime. I hope it's true that it's a natural end, and it's been planned since Ghisolfi came in.

I'm sure it's "natural" from the board's point of view but I wouldn't be so sure that Speakman sees it the same way.

 

[Hawkings Boots]

Yeah that announcement reads like he has been pushed to me

 

[Mousehold Mackem]

Explains the Ghisolfi interview this week.

 

[Bacon]

He’ll not be short of a job offer that’s for sure, incredible job he’s done here. League 1 to Premier League on a shoe string.

 

[Randy Savage]

Let's not lose our heads here.

Ghisolfi was seemingly responsible for the summer recruitment and KLD has got involved in some signings e.g., Xhaka. Them two + RLB suggests we are in good hands.

 

[Placid Casual 31]

I think we'll be fine with Ghisolfi going forward

 

[Jasper]

Immediate effect is a bit of an eyebrow raiser.

 

[KathyBatesHammer]

Hes done an incredible job. Not sure why hes left...im sure plenty clubs above us will have a look at him.

I hope this is isnt one of them Sunderland moments where everything begins to go to shit.

 

[sarboas]

Yeah that announcement reads like he has been pushed to me

undoubtedly the case

 

[Shibby Safc]

Part of me loves this - Thank him for the work, but be unrelentless in moving forward.

Change is always scary, but im excited

 

[LurkerSB]

Hes 100% been sacked for Flo. Wow.

 

[Seaham Towny]

Half the board will now claim they always loved him and are gutted he’s gone I’m sure.

This

Not many of the ‘old guard’ left. Bruce maybe the only one?

How’s the bacon did you say?

 

[Jasper]

Not many of the ‘old guard’ left. Bruce maybe the only one?

Like I said on my post, KLD seems determined to wipe the slate clean of the people who got us where we are.

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

any top half championship club with decent ambitions should be straight on the phone to him

He’ll get better gigs than that.
