Barnsley make an approach for Lg One manager/coach

[animallittle3]

About our budget and pulling power

Defiantly works on a small budget Ethel , bit of a clue there I reckon .

[Jules88]

Just why would you….. a decent reputation, some success… why damage all that to come here……?

Nowt against this Cheltenham manager but personally I'd go for Nigel Clough. He'd steady the ship and then some

He looks a tough bleeder.
Resembles a paler Ismael.

I think Hecky will end up back at Barnsley - if not next season then possibly the season after.

The Sheff U team is old so there will be big changes to make next season.
I can’t see the Sheffield crowd allowing Hecky time to sort things out.
They demand - and especially after this season - instant success.
So if they are not in the top 6 by December then he’ll go.

Add to that - the Cryne family always seemed to like Hecky - then any opportunity he will be back here.

Another Keith Hill incoming.

Another Keith Hill incoming.

I am not sure how you can come to that conclusion, he has done very well at Cheltenham having had a very good career as a player , because a young promising coach has done his apprenticeship in the lower leagues does not make him another Keith Hill , Hill moved to us & failed & until Duff has actually moved on to another club then he cannot be judged or compared to anyone . I would welcome him here , he knows the league & knows the players at this level , the fact that we would have to pay compensation to get him shows intent from the new look board .

Sumdi ez to say it--

I hope he is not another duff manager.

Fair points… I initially thought I’d prefer someone with a lo experience, but Danny Wilson and a few more have done well in their early careers.. so maybe I’m harsh here
