    We're hiring a Head of Recruitment too. Speakman will focus on development whilst overseeing everything. Someone else will be in charge of transfers by the sounds of it.

    I'm sure the "Dortmund Model" had a DoF/Spd , academy director etc... It would seem Do nald and the spiv had a memory lapse some time back, or did they just run out of money?

    Not sure what your point is? His usual trick isn’t missing out on playoffs in league one? It’s floating around the top end of the table in the championship. So I’m sure they will have had to persuade him to drop to league one. But carry on with the negativity marra, nobody is listening to you.

    Appointing a failure and being happy about it isn’t being negative, it’s not being a happy clapping fanny.
    Still, if the cap fits flower you be happy

    Alardyce, Keane, Pearson were always out of our league in my opinion. Poyet was crap by the end of his stint in charge and I was glad to see the back of the crab football. I thought it might be a foreign manager this time, but if Johnson is the man all we can do is hope it works out well.
    I always remember how underwhelmed we all were when Supa Kev signed, but look how that turned out.
    Keep the faith!

    Just watched that and I’m very impressed with what he has to say. I know we have heard ‘the talk’ before but this feels different, he wants to be here and wants success for our football club.
    If you haven’t watched it yet I urge you to do so.

    Spot on mate.... very impressive Speakman interview too. Certainly seems like the ownership group ,as he calls it, is definately thinking along the right lines for which we’ve been crying out for years!

    I enjoyed it. Definitely knows what he is doing and understands the size of the task ahead. He will need time of course but I'm very happy to have him on board from what I've read and heard about him.

    I'm not in the know and I predicted Johnson. And no, I didnt back it financially when it was probably out at 40-1.
