Kim Hellberg - Now’s the Time

We did it with Graham Potter… he went on to do ok

Not with us he didn't, couldn't even get us a play off spot with a really decent squad. His faffing about picking that useless keeper Nordfelt probably cost us that.

Yes, but we're not playing about here are we.

All we've been hearing from the Sheehan Out brigade for weeks is how they're worried about relegation. They're all so concerned that that's where we're heading, despite our apparently brilliant transfer window.

So perhaps I'm alone here, but sacking the current incumbent then plonking a bloke in his place who has never even worked in English football, never mind the Championship, doesn't strike me as reducing risk of relegation. Does it?

We are aligned here. I do not think Sheehan definitely has to go now but I think he definitely is not the man long term. Personally, I would hope the club have started their search for his replacement and will be ready to make the move when the ideal candidate is available without having to rush or panic. If that is Hellberg, then fair enough, I know nothing about him and will have to see how it goes but I am under no illusion that he is a guarantee or an upgrade. Like you I have concerns, that only continue to grow, about the squad.

Not seen any of his teams but there was a lot of noise about him before we gave Sheehan the job.

I remember a few articles describing his style as vertical possession but with a purpose. I think Sunderland were looking at him before they appointed Le Bris so that’s a plus as they were a decent championship side at that time.

I also wouldn’t be opposed to someone with experience in the Championship but not one of the typical managerial merry go round.
