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.[/quote] I won't disagree with any of that but given the mood of our fanbase, whatever you think about that, if it is this chap then he needs to be good i.e. the "honeymoon period" will be very short. If it goes well, happy days, any hint of a Siewert/Schofield and it will be the last straw for many. That might be viewed as being a little unfair/unrealistic but that's what will happen. Had/were we to appoint a more "proven" coach/manager, and been seen to be prepared to back him a little, and it had still gone wrong people would be slightly more forgiving. If this bloke is appointed and it doesn't go well the club is in a real mess. To be fair I wouldn't like to be making the choice, or more accurately "this" choice.[/quote]

After reading Steve Chicken's bit in the Examiner, I can understand why we may be going for this guy and why LB and DH think that he fits the bill. That piece reads to me that they've had to shoe horn 'favourite' into the headline, as it hasn't been announced yet. |

Every appointment is a risk but hope that Bromby and Hoyle have their tin hats at the ready if this is true. On paper, he ticks a lot of boxes that Bromby stated…but football isn’t played on paper is it. The bloke would be on the back foot immediately (much as DS was to be fair) - even if it was a Carrick or a Duncan Ferguson, they’ve played at a high level, represented their countries and worked with numerous top Coaches and Players so have that instant respect of the players. Hoping it’s bull, would get behind the new guy if it is him but such a HTAFC anti-climax if it happens. It's a risky move in an appointment which can't afford another balls up. |

Reads like a press release from town, to head off the discontent this morning, even given chicken access to his references.

In my opinion, Fotheringham is exactly the sort of manager/coach we as fans should be expecting.
Follows the pattern of previous appointments, all of which were uninspiring gambles at the time of their recruitment
Wagner - reserve/ B team coach of a top european team, no experience of managing a first team
Siewert - exactly the same as above
Cowley - lower league manager who worked wonders with a shit team, no experience of managing a championship team
Carlos - u23s coach at a bunch of twats, no experience of managing a first team
Schofield - B-team coach, no experience of managing a first team
NEW MANAGER PROFILE - a reserve/u23/ B-team coach with no experience of managing a first team, OR a lower league manager.

Wagner was a tiny bit different. He was the defensive coach under one fo the best managers the games ever seen?

Whoever we get, we have to get behind him & the team. We are in serious trouble right now so, as fans, we have to give the team the best chance of winning games, we can't control many things but we can get behind the team, even if things are going against us.
The lad only has to win a couple of games early doors & most will get behind him, it is, if true, a risky appointment, yet if it goes tits up the vast majority of discontent will be headed Dean & Bromby's way, not his.
If DW isn't coming back, let's get the boss announced asap & let's get on with avoiding relegation.

Lol town fans on Twitter and a few on here are hilarious, total meltdown that the club are poss not appointing DW who was an unknown assistant manager from Germany when we gave him a chance and instead poss going for an unknown assistant manager from Germany 🤔🤔🤔🤣😂🤣😂 Wagner worked under Klopp and had success with their B team. A B team that got better crowds than most championship clubs. A coach that Klopp would have taken to Liverpool. Do they? Ive been to a Dortmund B game. They play in the little ground next door to the main stadium and there was maybe 500- 1000 people there. |

If DW isn't coming back, let's get the boss announced asap & let's get on with avoiding relegation. I’d say the first few games are vital, few wins and things look very different. It’s daft really because a new coach cant change much immediately but a couple of defeats and it could turn. This team should not be in a relegation battle but right now we are. |

If true and not DW.
We’ve gone from a full house with an electric atmosphere at next home game.
To, mediocre turnout of worried punters thinking they’ve seen all this before.

If true, so underwhelming. Not saying it won't work, but the atmosphere around the place won't change with this appointment.
If it is MF, meltdown on here if we 0 from Reading and Luton.

Can we as a fan base just give the guy a chance. Surely everyone deserves that (well, except mr Monk), especially in his first job in the big seat.
