Needs replacing, but lets be honest, what DoF worth his salt, would even consider getting involved with such a set up. None I suspect. I fear we have what we have, and nothing will change anytime soon. Hefele.

Bromby is more of a drag on the club than either the chairman or the coach. Utterly out of his depth, much like with Siewert we'd be doing him a favour if we sacked him. The surprise is that it’s a surprise. He’d only ever coached 15 year olds before joining Town. I’ve done that !!

At the current time, 187 votes to 9, I have a bone to pick with the moderators 😡
How have you let Bromby get through with 9 multi-nicks? I want answers 😜

Most people now call the midday meal lunch I reckon. I'd like to see a poll on this, as I find it hard to believe.

I assume this is said with tongue firmly in cheek........! No. He's doing a Masters in Sports Directorship. Its part-time over two years, so I'm sure he could continue doing it whilst applying his evolving knowledge to the job at hand. www.ucfb.ac.uk/your-degree/executive-education-courses/msc-sports-directorship/Imagine a future where Hefele has a hand in choosing the Town manager. I don't think there's a better person on the planet to fulfil that role sitting between the owner, the team manager, the players and the fans.

I hope there's a spot for him at some point in the future, as you say I can't think of a better choice for creating that link with the fans. The drawbacks of getting him now would be the same as they are with Bromby if not worse- inexperienced and surely even more lacking in recruitment contacts considering the rules on EU signings. We can (heffing) dream though

I've said before, but no time ago Bromby was going around Sheffield trying to get people to sign up as franchisees for his soccer schools. Next thing you know, he's landed the top job at Town. How the fuck did that happen? N.B. I never use the word soccer, but it seems to be that these things are always "soccer schools" Like dinner ladies. Most people now call the midday meal lunch I reckon. Never heard anyone call them lunch ladies. Speaking as a pleb born and bred in Yorkshire its dinner then tea, but I have an in law down Luton way, who has no interest in “soccer” and finds it difficult to hide his loathing and contempt at me for referring to dinner (as you say it was school dinner ladies) but there again he shops at Waitrose and was actually shocked when I mentioned a chip butty in a tea cake - why on earth would you want chips in a bread roll with currants in. Say no more.

I don’t really know enough to be honest Some business has been decent like sarr and eiting. I would credit CC and coaches with pipa and vallejo Things I don’t know though Who got rid of John iga ... the guy who got us fit enough to do gegenpressing with very few injuries. Contrast to this season Who was messing around with Walsall in January Who didn’t take the option on stankovic contract All three dropped balls IMO stankovic wanted to go

Stankovic did the right thing for himself in being proactive, and you couldn’t blame him.

Stankovic did the right thing for himself in being proactive, and you couldn’t blame him. That was what I was told and like I say I believe that source and the whole thing does knit together Firstly, I'd be amazed if we didn't want to retain Stankovic and I also don't recall him changing his contract from the original one he signed (when we ran a lower-end Championship team budget). The contract he signed in July 2016 was reported to be until 2020 with the club holding an option at that point - www.htafc.com/news/2016/july/transfer-jon-gorenc-stankovic-signs/In terms of why it wasn't sorted is anyone's guess. It could easily be a collective thing rather than just one person. In my original post which Positive replied to, I said it would be good to know who behind this one as we let a good player leave In terms of the vote on LB - I've not voted as I really don't know what control he has etc

Irrespective of him signing a pre contract they could just trigger the option couldn't they and "force" him to stay?? (or grab a fee).

Well the club did have an option - as they reported that when we signed Stankovic in 2016. Options expire and if Town let the option expire stankovic was free to sign elsewhere

There's a picture the Examiner has used which shows Phil, looking like he's holding court, at a game this season. Around him are a studious bunch, of which Bromby is one.
It reminded me of that fateful documentary of Graham Taylor managing England with PH as the hapless manager and Bromby as the equally hapless Phil Neale.
"Bold decision boss"......

PH made some fairly bold and needed decisions early on with the likes of JS going then DC coming in. Like it or not his decisions resulted in necessary outcomes. Same could be said, sort of, by staying up this season, albeit less comfortable and a good 10/15 points away from what was likely expected.
As a businessman I’d expect him to do the same again, and make the necessary choices now, for me that includes a clear out of Bromby and co, and making sure we recruit right in that area. IF that doesn’t happen the blame will be pointed to CC and he will be off instead.....big few months ahead....

I have been one of those voting "No", purely because it is the wrong time of year to change this position. 1st Feb and 1st Sep (or whenever Summer transfer window closes these days) are the times to be changing this position.
We saw this when we had the DOF merry-go-round post Webber.

Can I be honest with the Interweb and say I don't know which is the lesser of two evils: 1. Wrong man with targets lined up. 2. Somebody else who has insufficient time to get targets lined up. NB. There is a risk that the "right person" for number 2 would turn down the job because he is on a hiding to nothing and risks his reputation, so you end up with another "wrong man", but I could be overthinking this 😉
