The reactions on this thread strike me as a bit much tbh...
On the one hand, this guy (if he is indeed the new head coach) isn't a big name... but we already know DH isn't going to break the bank, so I'm not sure what were some people expecting? It was always likely that this appointment would be a relative unknown.
Then there are those questioning whether his achievements as a player amounts to much. When it comes to being a manager that has fuck all to do with anything, and everyone already knows that... so I'm not sure why it's being brought up, it's completely irrelevant.
Sure, he's an unknown... so was David Wagner, so was Corberan. So what?
We're 23rd in the table but it's only September, we've been in far worse situations and got out of it. Hopefully Fotheringham has what it takes to get a tune out of the squad we have, but that job will be far easier if the fans are on board. At the very least we should get behind the team and give the bloke a fighting chance. Grumbling about not having Sean f***ing Dyche in the dugout achieves nothing.

Not sure what people were expecting really. Experienced manager with championship experience who are they? Steve Bruce? Paul Ince? Or do we want somebody who just shouts at players. Surely we would prefer somebody who improves players like CC did.
Comparing this guy to Schofield and Siewert is way off both were second team/youth team coaches prior to being given difficult circumstances to work in.
People saying that this guy hasn’t done anything in football. He’s done the hard yards that’s for sure and worked under some top coaches. Clearly a football man.
More experience than Wagner tbf Wagner had only coaches reserve teams prior. He’s clearly well known in Germany. Maybe Wagner has pointed us in his direction?
Not saying he will be successful as football isn’t straightforward but good players respond to good methods as per Wagner.
We shall see.
Anyway could be worse he could have just managed a team in Sweden and been a journeyman pro.
Or for those old enough to remember football before the EPL we could have got him from team in Japan!
Time will tell, there has been some good Scottish managers over the years

I've listened to the podcast, for which many thanks.
Does sound very very confident in his own ability, though not the most articulate or sharpest tool in the box. Certainly sounds driven.
Having listened to it I can possibly understand more why he's had 15+ clubs as a player and quite a lot as a coach in a very short time.
I suspect we/the players are going to love him or hate him - nothing in between.
His appointment however (if he is to be manager) seems to go against an awful lot of what Mr Bromby was saying on Radio Leeds, which filled me with hope. It's not an original thought but I can't help wondering how much the fact that he's obviously the cheap option played in the decision by DH/LB.

I can’t remember it all but which parts did he go against. Leaving the Wagner stuff aside? |

Bromby wanted someone who's worked with a top coach, works hard and someone who understands the European way of working with a DOF/HOF. He comes across in that interview as a very passionate guy, which is something that Schofield clearly wasn't judging by his demeanor on the touchline. Fingers crossed that he makes a lot of folk on here eat their words in the coming months |

We can but hope Fotheringham’s name has been put out in the domain to gauge reaction from the fans on here and given it’s been largely negative, it won’t be happening 🤞

The lack of excitement if it is him would be warranted. He has no record to excite anyone. He’s a gamble but so was Wagner and he did well. Like anyone who gets the job he has my support. Just hope he’s better than Schofield and he can keep us up.

The outrage on here is only because everyone, for some reason wanted Wagner and thought it was going to be him, if it is this Fotheringham fella, then he gets a chance like everyone else that's been appointed in the past.

The players will be in for a shock with double session training. |

Would people have felt more confident about staying up if we’d gone for Paul Warne? I certainly would.

We need a manager with ambition, to fight for a top 6, not the mentality of just scrapping for survival. We have the players, just needs a manager to do things different with the players. Think thats why the club are looking outside the box. |

Got to back him and give him a chance. Ticks lots of boxes - worked in Germany with a set up that we want to replicate. - worked with top coaches in Germany, Felix Magath for one Excuse me? Magath is a joke, both here after Fulham, and in Germany. |

Think thats why the club are looking outside the box. I don’t buy into the manager for a ‘type’ thing. All managers by default will be chasing success. In our current state, the first phase of the job is to pull us away from the relegation zone. If that’s achieved, then we see what’s left of the season and aim for the highest position we can get to. You scrap for success just as much as you do survival, unless of course you have a bottomless pit of cash and can try and buy your way out. As Art & others have said, if/when announced, we need to get behind the bloke as a collective fan base, not have the mindset that he’s the wrong bloke for the job. It’s the least anyone deserves with a new job. UTT!!! |

Looking at his career record,as player and coach, I'm surprised he got an interview..never mind being appointed. Bromby must see something that overrides the lack of credentials.
However if he's able to gee up this squad, get them organised, fit and motivated.. bawl them out if they don't perform,then maybe it's an inspired choice?
He's only 38 but maybe he's just what some of our under performing players need. Schofield seemed a quieter character,this bloke might be more ruthless and finally get the players to up their game.
Should be interesting if nothing else,and we should give him a chance at least. If it doesn't work then I reckon Bromby will be under massive pressure in his job too

Would people have felt more confident about staying up if we’d gone for Paul Warne? I certainly would. Yes because he’s actually managed before and in this division! Another bizarre appointment where Hoyle and Bromby think they’re being clever again. Hope it works out for us all, time will tell I suppose. |

I certainly would. guessing first priority was wagner but that went on for too long , Barry didn't know about doing this or the world cup, Warne probably wanted to come but derby got more money then it was between Carrick or fotheringham. but I would of gone for Warne |

Having read a lot of posts, I think a lot of people's mind set is for Bromby and Hoyle to fail miserably, maybe it stems from Hoyle wanting his money back and feel agrieved, I certainly want the club to succeed, this next managers appointment is massive for either consequences.

I don’t want Fotheringham, Bromby or Hoyle to fail. If they do the one thing I have in common with all three (Huddersfield Town) fails with them. And no one on here wants that. |

Going into this with no expectations . Don’t know much about the lad and reserved as to whether he can turn the season around .
However, he deserves a chance and fans to get behind him and the team .

I agree, think a lot will be upset if its not Wagner, but cant dwell on it. Needs fans, players and management team all singing from the same hymn sheet or league 1 beckons. |

Heard this a lot about us trying to do things differently.
Absolutely crap.
How about been organised, with a clear style of play, fit and strong and with a good team spirit.
With a manager who leads, gives the fans something to believe in and can motivate. Look at how many different clubs Fotheringham has had as a player and coach.
Tells it's own story.
All of the above will see us do very well.

Siewert and schofield and now this fella!
A great record to fill us all with confidence...lol
It's the blind following the blind on here!
Mark my words...in a few weeks time when we are as good as down and the media are saying..why didn't they pick someone with a bit of experience with this league instead of a complete novice...most on here will then follow suit
There's no pre- season...we aren't in a healthy position...yet we hire a complete novice to stop the rot!!
It's the end for bromby and Dean when this inevitability goes tits up in the next couple of weeks...I no longer have and confidence in this regime
I'm a season ticket holder but will be staying away for the rest of this season now...I'm not prepared to blindly follow this regime
