Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

It certainly risks upsetting the apple cart in terms of the dressing room and the feel good atmosphere around the club at the moment if they go against Sheehan.
Maybe with the size of the squad rebuild needed, they feel a fresh manager would be like truly hitting the reset button?

Again, they (Montague and co) ignore this at their peril, especially with this dressing room.

You've only got to look at what happened when Martin left and Duff came in. Regardless of what the fans thought, RM was very well liked in these parts and when Duff came in with his Sgt Major schtick, they effectively downed tools to get him out.

If they choose Hellberg, they'd better be damn sure the squad are likely to like the cut of his jib, otherwise he's on a hiding to nothing.

This isn't me justifying excessive player power by the way - if I had my way, I'd tell the dissenters to sling their hooks - but that's the reality of football these days unfortunately.

Unfortunately easier to replace one man than a whole team.
But I wholeheartedly agree that there is generally far too much player power around in the game.
