The ❌Kim Hellberg❌ Non-Managerial Thread

I hope that you are correct, sincerely.

Same here, not sure I can cope with another false dawn.

I see that Cardiff airport has announced direct flights to Toronto.
Hmmmmm. We can widen our search for a new manager to Toronto and even Niagra Falls area now.
Fabulous news.

This is nice to hear but does it really mean anything? If he had taken over last season with them down and out and put up a good fight and then started this season strongly, then I would be intrigued by him. He has managed 11 league games, won 6 and scored 13 goals. How can that be described as him completely changing things, for a side that has just been relegated and are one of the biggest sides in the country. It would be like saying Martin completely transformed Southampton when they were relegated. That is just a random portuguese fan so no offence to him but he also says their team is of a low Championship level which we know is not true. For better or worse, no executive, fan or anyone in football can be sure he is good based on just 11 games. After 20 games Swansea fans may have been rational to think Sheehan was the man to lead them forward.

I did not think Sheehan was going to be our coach long term but I worried exactly this would happen if we sacked him. Sheehan would not have gotten us relegated, we may have just been stuck in low midtable. Under Matos I think anything could happen and you would be a dreamer to say there is zero chance we end up with a 3rd manager this season.

They got relegated a season and a half ago and finished 18th last season in their current league

Comedy gold….twelve games, aye let’s give him a shot…not happening Coco.

Awful attitude, he might be too young (but same age as Helberg), too new to management, but there's no doubt we need a manager with that attacking mentality and organisational skills (something Sheehan didn't have). You sound like you have the answer to everything, something tells me that you don't. Maybe a touch less dogmatic on your part would work better?

We did that with Williams and that was a disaster , and he had a supposed “track record”.

Are you really saying that you would never consider hiring a manager from League One? WentToSchoolWith made a good case for Challinor (Stockport, 1st in L1) and Skabula (Lincoln, 2nd in L1), so they both have good track records, and are only 7 or 8 places below us.

I have no idea if either would be a good match for us but our recruitment team should at the very least be mindful of them.
