New Manager

[AusinIsOurHero]

Fotheringham was formerly manager of Huddersfield Town between 2022 and 2023 and has extensive coaching experience in Scotland and Germany. He is perhaps best remembered for a particularly amusing viral press conference during his time with the Terriers.

Please just be for 8 games...

I sincerely hope it's only until the end of the season.

If not I fear we'll be in the exact same position next season as we currently find ourselves now.

We've seen Cardiff do it over and over.

I really hope that there’s a Plan B on the office wall, a plan which kicks in immediately after the end of season and allows the permanent guy to get his feet under the table with recruitment. Please let there be a Plan B.

Will they be welcomed into the quorum easily!?

You can't really knock the Fotheringham call as he seems to have a decent background as a coach.
The Stearman one is a strange one, even if he is a mate of Sheehan's given his limited coaching background.

It does have a feeling of a slap and pritstick.

And they'll do it again when Riza is sacked in the summer.

Probably wants people he knows and trusts working alongside him.

I think it's a little overdramatic of people to get their knickers in a twist over the 2 guy's Sheehan's asked to help put the cones out for the remainder of the season. What were people expecting? Klopp and Alex Ferguson to come on down and help out?

I don't know much about how good these 2 are at coaching players, but it seems most of you have intimate knowledge of how they operate, so I'll have to defer to you guys, but let's not get too carried away by this.

Exactly 2 former team mates, who have coaching badges, Steerman with plenty of Prem experience, it’s better than nothing for the remaining games, this also gives Sheehan a platform to showcase his potential as a manager with his own back room team.

The former youth team manager of Cradley Town was not available at this time.

Totally agree.

Quite normal to surround yourself with people you trust.

I think the reason why people are underwhelmed is because the chances are ( with our past form ) is come the start of next season the three of them will most likely be still here.

Some posters love to write people off before they've had chance to prove their worth.

Assumptions made by others are staggering.

I am obviously in that batch! It's just something I have got used too in the last few years....I used to be one of those who defended managers and so on but I think eventually I have been ground down.

As for Fotheringham, what's the link with Sheehan?
Not seeing an obvious one.
