Would an experienced championship manager be any less of a risk? Liam Manning took Bristol City to the play offs last season yet struggled to get a win at Norwich this season and got sacked... so how can we be sure appointing a manager with Championship experience is a safe option after all...

But as I said Martinez had zero coaching experience when he was appointed yet look what he achieved,Rodgers had not been succesful at Reading and Watford....and had been out of work for a year when we appointed him. So the comparisons are similar neither Martinez or Rodgers had any accolades as...

All managerial appointments are a gamble

Why is this even a debate? The answer is no and has been posted on another fan site it seems it is a non starter from the clubs perspective

It would be interesting to see what was being posted when we appointed Martinez who had zero experience as a coach....he was still only a player at lowly Chester. Yes we were only lg1 then but he had zero coaching experience when he was appointed. Of course he knew the club and the players and...

Was Mel consulted much Lisa? I had nt considered his input...and Curt was around so I suspect HJ might have sought his advice at times I suppose

In fairness though Lisa we in reality had little football expertise ( apart from being fans and playing Welsh League) at board level during our recent "glory" years where we did make a few good left field appointments....and also some disasterous ones. Interestingly the appointment of our last...

Looks a bit like him though

Great article Phil,but are we sure there is no plan B or are the club keeping it under wraps so that that cant be hijacked too? I am hoping that the club were not over confident in getting Hellberg and therefore had no plan B . Hopefully there is and one which is not a knee jerk...

We finished 10th not 8th.....that squad properly managed could have made the playoffs.....are you forgeting that run of 1 win in 23? He rescued his season by abandoning his phillosphy to get some results before reverting to type He also just scraped promotion with a Southampton side that should...

Is this even serious

What time is the announcement?

Apparantly Lidls in Swansea,Norwich,Middlesborough and Southampton have sold out

Add VAR (and the TMO in rugby) where ages is spent analysing a borderline decision made by the ref stopping the game while replays are watched over and over agian thankfully that hasnt arrived in the Championship yet

Given your defence of Sheehan recently thats a low bar you have set

Agree with this Lisa and isnt sort of good to know there is "one of us" that is a fan there in a key post who cares.... As you say Lisa lets judge him on that

Which should tell you something about our manager

He is embarressed with his own performance today resulting in two own goals!

Its amazing how many of fans have been critical of the quality of Cullen yet our manager takes off Widdell and brings on Liam...... I do really wonder if some if our fans have learnt from years of watching us....or maybe too influenced by what they have learnt from Sky et al
