Next manager?

[Mister E]

Maybe we're bringing in a new Director and he gets to bring in his manager/coach, hence the delay in Bruce going.

I agree.
Or, a slightly different spin - they're awaiting the DoF's arrival so they can triangulate their thinking with him.
Either way, if the new investors are sensible chaps and have an enlightened view of things, absolutely they'll want the DoF to have a significant input since - from a footballing perspective - the relationship between manager and DoF will be pivotal.

Why the clamour for Wagner? Has anyone seen Huddersfield play? They can't score a goal at home and are looking nailed on for relegation.

Huddersfield play desperately poor football.

very possible. No point hiring someone who is hopefully modern and progressive and then handcuffing him to this fucking Neanderthal*






*my apologies to any Neanderthal's out there who I might have offended by suggesting Steve Bruce is one of you. It's very possible he is more primitive.

ugh ,apology accepted unga munga

The first job of any new director of football is to identity what type of football Bruce is trying to impose or if it is actually football at all.

They don't really play football at all, they just set out to stop their opponents playing it.  I understand why they do it, it's got them where they are, but it is bloody awful to watch.

That sounds like at least a tactic.

Fair comment.

Depressing though, isn't it? All that celebrating they did at the end of last season made me puke. There's no glory in what they do, no joy, precious little entertainment, what's the point? (Mind, it is a rugby town, if they'll watch that they'll watch anything).

There's a stat where they've failed to score in 60% of their games. I appreciate where they've come from, but it's football nihilism that McLiesh would be proud.

They deserve everything they are getting for playing a weakened team against the Noses, saving their bacon.  Pun intended.

In the PL games played at Huddersfield Harry Kane is the top scorer. Which is some stat.

You'd think/hope that if the DoF is the hold up that conversations would still be happening.  The DoF could/should give the wink to the new owners to appoint his preferred manager whilst his notice period is served (or whatever).

As a short term we could go with Mr Drinkwater. I know he only did Cottesbrooke junior school, and it was a while ago. But we did alright, when he said you were number 3 you knew where you were playing. And if you wee number 7 you knew where you wee playing. He sort of got us playing to a system. We won more than we lost, even if we played at Henry rd playing fields, were you were always uphill, both halves. But anyway I think he would do it for about £200 a game, until someone better came in. H couldn't do any worse, could he.

We need change now. This minute.
