Speakman gone

DJ Doubt said:
Mate who has links to the club text me and he said there's been a massive falling out behind the scenes over the Hume hybrid role. Speakmann and others have been putting pressure on RLB to at least rotate or try something different. RLB is stubborn and refused, leading to this.

Not good, especially after the strong season, but I wouldn't be too concerned cos everything I just typed is completely made up.

Is your mate off his nut all the time then?

If i ever see him in a pub down here in Perth, i will buy him a pint of the finest Bush Chook that's on offer. We wouldn't be where we are without his leadership, and for that I will be forever grateful.

My bet is he will be snapped up by Birmingham or Wrexham. A new project for him.

Those were the two clubs I thought of straight away.
 
KLD obviously has a plan and people in mind. Not strange that we haven't ran we effectively 2 x DOF and the writing has been on the wall, obviously wanted January out of the way.
Speakman hasn't been all roses but did a decent job on most things, don't think he will have a problem getting a very decent job. Given the reputation the club has gained for recruitment this year not a surprise to see a prem club hire him.
Good luck to the lad though.

Surprised they announced it before the press conference rather than after the weekend
 
Got no issue with this at all if the club believe it’s the best way to progress further. Ghisolfi has basically been the main man since the summer anyway.

He’s done an absolutely outstanding job overall though and I wish the bloke all the best. He’ll land a decent job imo.
 
Oh my days, some reet fannies in here 🙄 People are looking waaaay too much into Speakman leaving.

It was probably agreed in the summer, between KLD and Speakman, that we'd get a DoF in. I'm guessing that a handover period would have been agreed between both, plus Ghisolfi (results depending).

I doubt both have clashed, especially given our position in the table and success in market. If they had, then one of them would have moved sooner, right?

I think the biggest shock has been the timing of the announcement tbh
