No one had said Keano is coming we have all just assumed hoped and wound ourselves up this week over it. Keano on tv last night didn’t help mind.

I still think he will come but I’m so unsure on Speakman and today’s interview was so unnecessary it made a shit day even worse

Money seems to have been spent in jan. Not sure about the start of the season like. Bearing in mind we needed half a team, I think we were working on an extremely limited budget.

Tbh I don't think signing Defoe and Keane could be any more 'Donald'.

Although that being said I'm not saying it's been his decision.

KLD and his brother have fanned the flames on Instagram mind and think it was at that point it turned into a total frenzy.

Bringing Defoe back and making it very clear that they're in talks with Keane are the exact sort of smokescreens I would expect from Donald if he still had some sort of influence.

Sacking the manager and only then commencing the process to find his successor is being labelled as keeping our integrity, but what it really is, is naivety in the extreme.

Look at WBA for example. Sacked their manager and had Bruce in about 20 minutes later, because they did what every other club in world football does and had their current manager's successor ready to go.

I'm sure having our "integrity" will go down well with our fans during the playoffs, or make us feel better about getting pumped by bottom of League One Doncaster FFS.

Then you have the owner liking posts about Keane getting the job earlier in the week, which automatically means if for any reason he doesn't take the job, they have whoever the next manager is pissing against the wind from day one.

I like a lot of what the decision-makers have done, but their handling of this whole episode has been shambolic.

From what I can gather, LJ's sacking didn't come with as much notice as anyone would have expected.
