Got the gig with Sheff U
Delighted for him. Didn't work out up here but had a chance to chat with him once and he was a very clever chap, fantastic football knowledge and spoke well of the club.
Hope he does well.
That is actually pretty funny he's got that job whilst we are all squabbling over Jack Ross remaining in charge.
We’re no really though are we?Quote:

4 and a half year deal as well which sounds absolutely mental...

Best coach is a lot different from being a decent Manager. His first signing was Josh Vela (who?) who’s found his level playing for Shrewsbury. He’ll get a good pay off when he’s sacked as he’s got a 4 1/2 year deal! Poor Blades fans.Quote:

Josh Vela was a Hibs signing. Comes up all the time. His name was on the wall when Lennon was there. He had all the credentials for what we wanted at the time. He just didn’t work out. Had Doidge not missed about 20 chances in Heckys time he’d prob still be here. Now we have Nisbet missing so it will be JR that’s punted next. Small margins is the saying I believe.Quote:

Please don't post facts. It really gets in the way of the hibs.net virtual reality show that so many of us love.Quote:

Pleased for him. Never worked out at Hibs but as said if Doidge had his shooting boots on could have been different. He also had Boyle out for pretty much his whole time at Hibs and we know what a difference that makes to us. I think he was very unlucky to get his jotters and if our league form continues as it has then it will be interesting to see how quickly the Board would think about a change of manager. Ross seems competent enough for me and I'd far rather we got into the habit of backing rather than sacking managers
We've had worse. I think he had a lot of good ideas, I don't think you take the lead that often without some idea of how to set up a team. Injuries to key players hurt him a lot.
Gutted (as I used to watch The Blades when I was at college there in the early 90s). Given his track record, it's a poor appointment and definitely a downgrade on Chris WilderQuote:

what I took from that was - he was intense, a deep thinker of the game. He talked about the importance of fitness and sports science - you’re not an athlete you just won’t be considered down South - so if we want to sell there essential. He also acknowledged it needed to be more that fitness and that psychology has a part to play. He didn’t come out and say a lot of the challengers were in the players heads but I think that’s what he was hinting at. Doidge could have been an example of that. Wasn’t Hanlon also injured? Decent hardworking guy. Wish him well.

Anyone got any experience of hiring a plane to fly a banner over the ground to hound the manager out? Just so we can bring him back again naturally.Quote:

There’s a few threads on the Holy Ground you could use to ram your point home a bit more if you like.Quote:
