When does everyone think our new man will be in place by?
I'm predicting that he will be announced Friday/Monday

It's my birthday on Sunday so if it is someone really brilliant -Sunday. If it is someone really dire - any day except Sunday

It's my birthday as well on Sunday. And no, I'm not David Cameron.

every manager we've appointed since mo'n except Mr Houllier have at best been out of left field, wagner read lambert, The job is to big for them,

Steve Bruce is the safe pair of hands to get us promoted, give him a contract based on that, with a Brucie bonus for reaching the holy grail. and depending on how he achieves promotion the first offer of an extension to his contract.

Houllier was totally out of left field. He'd been out of front line management for how long? And, as it proved, with good reason as his health couldn't take it. Lambert was a logical choice in my mind. No-one could have predicted the abomination he became.

If it's Bruce (not my choice) they give him a medical. He looks a pork pie away from a cardiac arrest...

Mr Houllier was a stella manager, ie he had got form, and imo if not for his health would have got us right. the rest of the managers have been utter tosh,

I don't feel we can fuck about, Bruce is a safe shout.

I think Bruce has the experience and knowhow to get us in the play offs.

To be fair I saw him on the Europa highlights programme last week and he looked like he'd lost quite a bit of weight

Would we still sing "sit down potato head " if he was one of ours !?

Just reading up on Wagner.

Back in November 2015, his second game in charge, Huddersfield lost 2-0 to Boro. Despite losing, at the end of the game the fans gave the team a standing ovation and Boro manager, Aitor Karanka said, “Huddersfield looked like the top team, not us.” Even after just one month in charge, a Huddersfield fans said that "Wagner has implemented, in a matter of weeks, a new style of football which is very easy on the eye. The team look strong, and so it is a nice time to be a fan of Huddersfield Town."

He left Dortmund mid-season to join Huddersfield on the advise of Klopp. I wonder would he do the same to join us? Sadly, I don't think he will.

Huddersfield > Villa. Paul Lambert looked a good manager at Norwich, and we all know how that ended up.

Some one a few of us on here know of, once said.

the time to worry is when you play well and lose.

Think i'll heed this advice.

I'm amazed that fans are willing to put their faith in a manager who has had a 1/4 great season over a manager with years of proven ability to get us exactly where we want to be, which is challenging to get back into the PL. Bruce won't be a long term appointment but promotion and stabilisation in the year after promotion would be wholly achievable under his stewardship.
