Now which implies either he wasn’t before or they just decided, both are worrying.

He's normally pretty spot on these days regarding us so could be true but us wanting him is one thing, him coming is another. I think he'll turn us down tbh.

Not really. Whoever comes in will have a tough job
Rather get someone who wants to be here
f***ing he'll. Can you remember Moyers? 2 games in and we were ducked. He didn't want to be here but still sat spreading his doom and gloom and picking up his salary. Disgusting specimen

Relagated if true

 

[SebastienELLISbexter]

Properly unispiring. Typical of the level of ambition shown since Short decided he wanted out, and since Bain has been chief exec.

Disgraceful.

 

[Coeus]

Great, Simon Grayson lite. I think panic is starting to set in.

 

[Billy Bob]

How many games has heckingbottom had as a manager?

 

[Sebastien]

I feel a little bit sick.

How many games has heckingbottom had as a manager?

92 apparently

If true it’s a big gamble considering our current predicament.

But I’ve been saying for a while I’d like us to try an up and coming type rather than someone who has failed regularly or who’s career is on a downward trajectory.

Heckingbottom..he's a Barnsley lad and has a good thing going there..why the hell would he leave to come here..apart from the obvious money like.

 

[Wardley Makem]

Seems a really nice bloke who has done a great job with Barnsley. Speaks confidently and intelligently. Why so negative?

Although I think our job should still be very attractive, we will be lucky to get him in our current situation.

 

[Mowgli]

Hard to draw conclusions managing Barnsley but since getting the job permanently I think they've conceding am average of 1.5 goals a game or near enough.

Big gamble of an appointment like

 

[Lord Alfred]

He is NOW number one choice....wonder how far down the original list he is.

He might do a job if given time and backed financially but either of those scenarios look unlikely. Another patsy getting sacked early as he adds his name to the roster of failure is the most likely outcome.

Same reason the Grayson left Preston we're on a totally different level.

 

[box2box]

Surprised that he is number 1 choice as compensation will be required to pay pay Barnsley to release him

Hardly inspiring but it's giving a young manager a go. It's better than appointing a has been who has numerous failures to his name

We were.

We no longer are.
