At present we are in a relegation fight after a terrible start to the season.
This is after the last disastrous appointment and cheap option.
We need a manager to lead and inspire, we have good quality coaches in Jon Worthington, Narcis Pelach etc.
To name a few who I would prefer rather than this Scottish fella.
Duncan Ferguson
David Wagner.
Michael Carrick.
Gareth Ainsworth
Paul Warne.

Seems strange to me. Bromby said the below: “The process to appoint our next permanent Head Coach is already under way, and we are under no illusions as to how crucial a decision this will be – in no uncertain terms, we must get it right.“ It seems like it’s far too much of a risk for such a “crucial decision” and one he “must get right”. How long does this inexperienced coach get before been chewed up and spat back out? But he did say someone who has seen different methods and could teach us something. The obvious comparison is that idiot Siewart but they might be thinking he’s more of a Carlos, having worked with a very good manager. Bit harsh on Siewert |

Felix Magath was an absolute laughing stock when he was at Fulham. Stories of him putting cheese on injuries to aid recovery to getting players in his office and just staring at them without saying anything.
If this is what Bromby is hoping Fotheringham can bring to us then we are really, really fucked

I reckon we're going down. Had that feeling since the second game of the season.

If this is true, HUGE risk. Not the time to experiment with another rookie. 90% chance it will end in tears.

Not that he has even been confirmed yet by the club but was just thinking out of our relatively recent “successful” managers how many people had heard of David Wagner and Carlos corberan before they were appointed.
I’m not for a minute saying it would be the right choice I just think the pile on is extremely premature as is the talk of relegation battle.
It may come to fruition that he’s terrible and we do go down and I understand the worry but surely wait and see what actually happens before making any huge sweeping statements about what will or won’t happen and how someone is bound to be terrible.

Carrick, Ferguson, Hughton, Dyche and even Corberan. That enough for you? Dyche and Corberan are not options. Neither would come to us. Carrick and Ferguson have never been a head coach. They would do better than someone who got us promoted out of this league? Hughton hasn’t exactly done well in his last few championship jobs. He's had 4 jobs in the Championship. I'd agree that he was shite at Forest, but in his other 3 he got two automatic promotions and a playoff semi final appearance with Birmingham. If we finish the season as badly as any of Newcastle, Brighton or Birmingham did under his tenure then I'll say whoever our head coach is did a very good job. (although his sides aren't terribly exciting to watch) |

He's had a very transient career, barely stayed 2 seasons at any of his many clubs or coaching positions, difficult character or ambitious? Unlikely to be unlucky over a 20 year plus period.
If he's the new man, let's get behind him, but ive got a feeling that like buses, Danny was run over by the first one and the second one is heading for Mark.

As I said earlier if this chap is the man he better be up to the job. In our current position we cannot afford a slow start, or worse another bad appointment.
To be honest I'd rather have Pelach, who sounded far more capable than Schofield in his interviews, than introduce someone who is a virtual unknown as head coach.
I would have thought that some realism as to where we are might have been needed. I fear this, if it is true, is some idealistic choice and I'm not sure that's a risk worth taking. Rightly or wrongly it will also be seen as the "cheap" option.
Get it wrong and the underlying ill feeling towards those in charge could result in a significant loss of interest and season ticket sales.
I suppose we have to give whoever a fair chance but the window of opportunity to convince is very small.

If true... I'm going to hold off at least until I've seen his interview and see what he does over the first 6 games.
Seems a strange appointment though, but perhaps this guy is taking over as an interim whilst the DW thing is sorted with Young Boys. If that is November then Fotheringham takes the team until then and reverts to one of the coaching staff. DW has an overview until then and can have an input as to our playing style and tactically.

Employed for 6 weeks until the next bus comes along... might not be far from the truth, planned or otherwise. |

Think all those throwing big bets on the Wagner appointment based off a couple internet/twitter rumours from a couple lads from India will be feeling a little silly right now.. They're both from Huddersfield.  Oh dear! My issue with them is they seem to have a cult following of other kids (and some smart adults) on twitter and I’ve seen them sending abuse towards Steven chicken which I think is uncalled for. |

So, I was talking to someone today who is very, very, 'in the know'. I obviously asked them if they knew who our new manager was going to be. No reply apart from a smile. I then asked if their name was the same as mine. An even bigger grin. PS - My name's not Mark. Hope your name isn’t Stan Or Gary. |

Judging by my incoming messages this guy seems to have changed his name to Mark Fucking Fotheringham. At least he'll be able to recall his relation in January, Scott Fucking High 🤣 assuming he lasts that long 😙 |

If he's the man then give him a chance before everybody turns on him. Yes it seems like a huge gamble but every managerial appointment is. Nobody is nailed on to come here and do well. Wagner doesn't really sound like he wants or is able to move back to this country. No amount of foot stomping is likely to get him to leave his wife and kids. Some other options like Carrick or Barry are not really any different to Fotheringham, nobody really knows. People talk about big egos at the club then talk about wanting Sean Dyche ffs. Unrealistic for more than 1 reason but wages would be through the roof and the squad would need a complete revamp. If people put forward viable options then fair enough but I really haven't seen many if any. Not sure we're on the right forum for that kind of idiocy! Every managerial appointment is a big gamble. Recently we've gone for novice managers that almost no one on here would have heard of and its been a mixed bag. From tremendous success to abject failure. But hiring a proven, vastly experienced option is no less of a gamble. Look at WBA now after hiring Bruce.. a man with a fantastic record of success at this level, yet they seem to be going backwards sitting just above us as it stands. Ive never heard of Fotheringham,, but id never heard of Wagner or Corboran either and I dont really get this moaning that hell be a 'yes man'. What club appoints a manager who wont work within the clubs budgets or to the expectations of the owners?? Would people prefer someone who'd refuse to do that? I was really hoping it would be Wagner and hopefully it still will be,, but if it is this Fotheringham guy then so be it. He's obviously persuaded those that have actually interviewed him that he's going to be a success, so as a fan Ill just get behind him and see what happens hoping they've made the right choice this time,, something that despite the tantrumming on here, no one knows yet. |

Anyone else picturing Bromby at the airport bar, disconsolate, drowning his sorrows after failing to convince Wagner to come back. A bloke pulls up a stool next to him and engages in small talk. Don't knock that approach. Got an interview for a job offshore after meeting a bloke on a plane. Asked me if I worked on ROV's, I had an old company polo shirt on, said yes so he invited me for a talk at the company office last Thursday. |

I wrote a list of our managers over the DH era a few weeks ago. It’s a complete myth that employing a guy with a proven track record works. Any manager needs players to buy into his tactics and a huge bit of luck. |

I find it hard to believe that Hoyle would go from wanting a cult hero like Wagner to agreeing to a nobody in the space of a few days. Especially after the Siewert and Schofield appointments. |
