Is it a foregone conclusion that Hammy will take the job?

[frogmiller]

Any doubts?

You bloody tease 😂

We seem to be getting a few Chinese Whisperers on this board.

Just a personal view ( with no claim to know insiders, whisperers, stable boys or moles) but I think that Hamshaw and Warrington have already been given the full time positions and that the stand in statement was just to keep the grumbling fans quiet.

As for Evans, well what a balls up he made of the job, so here we are with two hopefuls

I hope they do well and it’s been a terrific start for them but a few defeats might have our fans sticking them blindfold against the wall

If took on full time they are in a similar position to that Paul Warne found himself in. Not regarded as a real manager, same chairman, same set up at the club, dodgy training facilities and as far as we know a similar transfer situation. Most would be happy with a similar managerial success for our two new guys.

Truth be told Grist, that represents the pinnacle of what's possible under the current regime.

They’ve had a solid start though, and I hope fans give them a fair shot even if we hit a rough patch. Like you said, Warne was in almost the exact same spot and ended up doing alright, all things considered. It’s a tough gig, but maybe that familiarity with the club and its limitations gives them a better shot than someone new walking into it blind

I think if you read the last couple of pars in this, it will be obvious that Hamshaw is nobody's mug, and has a realistic sense of his own worth that negates some of the comments above.

And any other regime unless we find a lunatic that is in a position to throw loads of cash at the club

We aren?t an attractive proposition are we?

And therein lies the problem.

On the upside, at least this particular bus isn't being driven by the likes of Chansiri...

I think it will happen for a number of reasons. It will be cheap and ''better the devil you know''! It would be an appointment that is kind of going back but isn't. When MH is interviewed you can almost sense the ghost of Warne hanging over the words! That is not necessarily a bad thing. When management teams are together for years it is not always possible to determine each members individual contribution until the team is broken up.It could be that MH has had more of an impact over the years in 'Team Warne' than people think. In any case he should be appointed on the basis of having a Rotherham accent alone which sounds reassuring during interviews!
