A double act suggets some sort of joint management carry on rather than Hudson being assistant
If Hudson was assistant then I wouldn't have a problem with it.

A double act with Hudson, it will be a double act. I guess if Town has no ambition other than relegation and free fall, good choice. pure speculation, then again what isn't?

I know this forum is split on Alan Nixon so don’t shoot the messenger but he was asked this morning if he had heard anymore on the new HTAFC boss, his reply was: “Hoyle knows who he wants...suspect it will be a double act with Hudson”. Has Buhler actually gone too, haven’t heard anything re the coaching staff, Andy Hughes etc?? Ha, Not a chance a new manager would come in and have his no.2 imposed on him like that, unless it was just a honorary position like giggs was at utd and the real no.2 is chief coach.

That's right, the wording was slightly ambiguous. Most normal people would assume from it that the announcement would be fairly soon after the game (as Sky have interpreted it that way in their story above) but strictly speaking there is no time frame mentioned. It's a bit like 'up to 70% off' in the sales. You hope its going to be pretty close to 70% but in fact it could be as little as 1 or 2% if the shop's being sneaky. With the game being on TV though maybe Town have seized this as a PR excercise and might make the announcement live on TV after the game? In true masterchef final style would be exciting. All the candidates lined up in the centre circle, eliminated one by one. By Rambo of course.

A double act suggets some sort of joint management carry on rather than Hudson being assistant If Hudson was assistant then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I think it is a simple sell, a new head coach and someone as assistant who maintains continuity of the DW legacy. You then have a succession plan where Whitehead moves up the ladder. My personal, gut feeling, is that Whitehead may be a decent manager in the making in the future. If you are a coach looking for a challenge at a club who, despite their current league position, are essentially stable, no financial issues (as far as the club being in debt) and a forward thinking outlook it's a good job. Given the culture created in the past 3 years why wouldn't you want someone with you who has grown up with that, has the respect of the players and is known to be a good guy. It's the sensible way forward to my eyes.

So who is staying behind after our drubbing to find out who the next manager is?

I'm surprised the lad from The Offensive hasn't suggested Felix Grosjean yet ;-)

I'd incline to the Wagner clone end of the scale.

Its a double act of Hudson & Heff coming back as player/managers, that way when we go down a goal we can shove them both up front and we will always remember Wagner (For all the overachievements & genius ideas he came up with, that was definitely an horrendous shout, shoving them two up front)

It's the sensible way forward to my eyes. From that it sounds we'd just get a Wagner clone. Don't we need a fresh approach? I think there is a difference to maintaining a culture and changing your direction completely. The fact we have a change of the man who was almost wholly responsible for where we are (footballing wise) suggests there will be a fresh approach. I would imagine DW was probably pretty unique and the fact he isn't there will certainly be different. I don't see our approach to training and preparation will change. It is interesting that Canalside development has yet to start and would hope that continues as that will move us forward greatly in terms of infrastructure. I don't see us changing our playing style radically but a fresh pair of eyes (on our current squad) may see a change in formation in the short term. My guess is that you will see Hudson adopt a 4-2-3-1 approach on Saturday with Smith coming back in and being linked with Kachunga on the right. Let's face it, we are going to need a miracle to get out of this relegation pickle now, so we may as well go with something that the players are comfortable with. Our new manager is essentially preparing for next season now, unless something very odd/special happens. What we don't need is a radical change in approach or tactics overall. Something different but on the same theme, like a cover version but with a different arrangement if you like.

What are the negatives of Hudson partnering with someone? It'll most likely be an assistant position. Already knows all of the players, obviously a great character to have in there. Only see positives to be honest.

I wonder if the Brexit situation influenced DW's decision, particularly regarding his family - and whether it would influence the decision of future recruits from Germany.

The sky cameras will be searching every inch of that ground. Maybe that's why the announcement will be after, they know that if he's at the game there's no way of keeping it hush

If it did influence his decision he clearly doesn't know enough about what's going on. (btw it didn't)

On the plus side Sky might actually talk about us pre and post match, rather than just fawning over City
