Well, the one thing that his squad and transfer dealings have delivered is that the ‘POPULATION’ of the top two league positions WILL NOT include the team of players that he has produced for the Head Coach to work miracles with. Speakman stated 3 weeks ago… ‘WE ARE IN A REALLY, REALLY, GOOD POSITION FOR PROMOTION AND BASED ON THAT THE DECISION WAS TAKEN TO MAKE A CHANGE TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN ‘’ POPULATE’’ THE TOP TWO POSITIONS’. Whatever feelings I had, have been lost in the disgust that I have for the present club management, in particular for Speakman who masquerades under the title of Sporting Director with overall responsibility for the size and quality of the squad. Of course, there has been heartache but mostly that has been when the team has been playing in a much higher level than at the present time. Over many years I have enjoyed the successes and cursed the failures at SAFC, meeting some fantastic people who knew the game of football inside out. Neil has failed to impress so far – but will he get a decent amount of time to turn things around? Photo by Michael Driver/MI News/NurPhoto via Getty Images I’m not convinced by anything I’ve seen from Alex Neil so far, but he’s here now and I just hope he can turn things around quickly, for everyone’s sake. What does everyone think? I do think we need to get the ownership sorted out, but I fear it’s a convenient excuse and a source of negativity that just sours everything else. We don't want to be in a Derby situation.Įd’s Note : Thanks for the email Steve - some good questions there. I know it’s frustrating at the minute but we need to get the ownership sorted out properly and get rid of them three leeches sooner rather than later. If we were lucky enough to get back to back promotions the investment would be 10 to 20 fold that of the previous season, and that’s just to stay up.

Are we going to give Alex Neil a decent amount of time to do a job whether it's trying to get promotion from this league or trying to stay up in the championship?Ħ. Where will the new money needed to survive in the championship come from?ĥ. Will Donald and co want more money for their shares?Ĥ. How many of the current squad is good enough for the championship?ģ.

When loan players go back to their club who replaces them?Ģ. If we were to get promotion what would our expectations be? Promotion again, playoffs? Now take a minute and be realistic – answer these questions if you can.ġ. The season isn’t over yet, yes we are in a bad patch, do people not realise the young lads were always going to have a dip in form? It just so happens it’s all at the same time.
