Whats Tatey got to do with this thread?

An experienced manager who knows how to build a team….no need to mention any names but I have one in mind and I’ll be amazed if he hasn’t been interviewed

Oooh you are awful but I like you.

Just to be clear - we have scored 15 goals this season, and even that number surpasses our XG of 12.5. The number of times we touch the ball in the opposition area is also a league low. Sheehan was riding on a hot Vipotnik streak - otherwise we would be down in the relegation zone.
Looking at the next appointment - we desperately need someone who can set us up to create chances and score goals.
Honestly I look at Galbraith Franco Yalcouye Stamenic Cullen Ronald Innoussa Eom Idah and Vipotnik - and while they all have some areas for improvement - this is the most potent set of midfielders wingers and strikers I have seen post relegation.
In short we were MASSIVELY underperforming - and I can see a very quick improvement being entirely possible.
I am excited for Hellberg for all the reasons stated above.
Time to ditch caution and seize this division by the throat.

No we wouldn’t have as has been proven.

This opinion continues to baffle me. He was a coach that was given a the manager job on a temp basis. There was no track record of actual ‘management’ it was a punt based on a run of results nothing else behind it.

Alan Tate did a great job filling in as a goalkeeper I wouldn’t then make him stand in keeper.

If it was a handful of games I’d agree. But his 2 caretaker spells lasted almost half a season between them. That’s a pretty big sample size when you look at the average length of a time a manager lasts in the Championship.

I’m not sure comparing Alan Tate’s 70 minute clean sheet where he touched the ball with his hands twice is really comparable either.

Those who expressed doubts about Sheehan's appointment have been very vocal recently, which to be fair is hardly surprising given how it turned out. I do believe they tend to be the type who'd also slate the club for not appointing Sheehan in the summer if we'd appointed someone else who also failed.

Totally understand the reservations as I had some but as time went on last season it became harder for them to make any other decision. Clearly it was a mistake based on this seasons performances and recent results.

However, I don’t think it’s a stick to beat the owners/board with or any manager who was interviewed but wasn’t appointed in May for that matter.

Well no unless you have zero integrity.

I can only speak for myself but I was ridiculed for my opinion at the time so I can’t just let it slide.

So you’ve just twigged how being a football fan works?

I said Sheehan was not the man to take us forward but I conceded to popular opinion that he had earned his chance and supported him, and ultimately felt sorry for him when he blew it.

If any of our fans seriously think the board wanted Hellberg but went with Sheehan because the fans wanted it then they are quite simply demented imbeciles, cognitively malfunctioning, as demonstrated already.

Hellberg may well turn out to be a genius and he will get my support if he comes here but make no mistake, he was considered second best to Sheehan and that was nothing to do with what the fans wanted FFS.

FACT.

If not the Swede, then Lee Johnson would be agood shout ahead of our next game. Proven Championship manager.

And a former Bristol City player and manager. Spicy!

Hi Sunshine. You are one of the few posters on this board who make me look nice and fluffy and sweet.

Playoffs.

I was skeptical of appointing Sheehan but I’ve been impressed by the statement of intent and the board have finally started investing.

So you were so dismissive of him you felt he would lead us to the play offs?

And yet there isn’t a single post of you dismissing the appointment at the time…

Pretty sure Hammarby scored more goals than anyone, that'll make a refreshing change too.

And from highlights I’ve watched they like to shoot on sight as well.

We took a huge gamble on Sheehan and it failed miserably, Hellberg might have been a gamble first time around i doubt very much that the club are prepared to gamble again, completely different circumstances now.
