It's a good appointment but reminds me of that chap they brought in who got Barnsley into the playoffs, that didn't work for them.

After Olympiakos, it looks like Corberan is going to another club where you could argue the supporters need an interpreter as much as the Mgr…
I shan’t bore you with the tale of me seeking directions from someone down there yrs ago, when I thought they were talking about some sort of iron foundry, when they were actually saying eye infirmary…

Bromby be following him shortly............. From BBC : 'The next big issue for Albion is to find a sporting and technical director who gives the club a proper fighting chance of moving forward. Leigh Bromby was a key component in taking Huddersfield, under Corberan, to the verge of a return to the Premier League. He might need to be the next piece in the jigsaw, to get the Albion fans believing that the club isn't the shambles it's been portrayed as in recent days, weeks and indeed months.'

You can see the attraction for Bromby. Masses of uncertainty here, looking like he's picked two poor managers on the spin and he's probably toast regardless when someone else takes over.

If I was him I'd be looking at moving on. It's a step up, he's placed on record that his neck is on the block with regards to MF appointment and the fan reaction to MF so far is poor. Fans have started to turn on Bromby looking for someone else to blame. Hoyle's left now so the blame will only intensity further on Bromby. So yes, I think he'll probably be leaving too. Not what I want as leaves us looking to plug another hole but he'll do whats best for him. I assume people calling for him to quit will be suprised WBA are interested in taking him on and not be complaining if he goes.

He was announced last night by West Brom and their fans are buzzing about it. I would say this is going to haunt us but I doubt it’ll matter when we’re in L1 🤣 Id be shocked if Chico doesn't move there with him. Town bottom, working for a Scottish bloke he can barely understand, club ownership up in the air. Not much worth sticking around here for Well he didn't leave to a club offering European and top-flight football, so not sure why he'd go to a club that could be below Town by Saturday evening 🤷♂️

Also got a big hike on the back of last seasons success. Doubt he'll be going anywhere unless pushed, at which point the whole footballing 'structure' would need rebuilding as pretty much all the staff under him are connections/'mates' of his.

Good luck to one of our most successful and talented managers. I’m sure he will get West Brom playing some good football, and with backing he will probably take them up.

Wonder if he's still got his lucky Chino's. Wonder if his toddler has still got his town kit ? Probably on a stinky Greek rubbish dump by now I should imagine..

They work for his coaching companies too. All West Yorks based.

I would see that as a positive rather than a negative, in fairness. Especially if we're in League One next season.

Similar to those who dont want to get promotion to the prem, but then start wittering if town are on a run of shite form.

Don’t think Emyr Humphries has quite met his level yet in the recruitment department..

That quote about Bromby doesn't say they want him. It's just the local journo saying he might be on interest

Or we may discover he was lucky that all our defenders and GK gelled so quickly that it covered up the turgid brand of football that relied on set pieces to win?

That's what I'm hoping, no rationale to that other than this is football and I take great pleasure in seeing those who leave us for other clubs fail miserably. I'm also delighted that Toffolo and O'Brien aren't currently in the Forest squad and with their mini revival are unlikely to get back in there any time soon. Childish, I know

Childish, I know Toffolo's been missing through injury but he was playing a few games up to then. Last time I saw O'Brien he was coming on for a 4 minute cameo. I'm sure they'll get opportunities as squad players in the future. I know what you mean though, every time you see Knott's Forest and they aren't playing, it feels like a win for Town in a weird kind of way.

If my auntie had bollocks.. What a nonsense post He finishes 6th next season for brom... he will be gone.. finished 14th for us he would have been gone.. not rocket science, expectations are different. It must be rocket science becuase I've no idea what you are talking about, he's never finished 6th or 14th with anyone. It's like saying if Pep finises 10th this season he will be sacked, just non-sensical. Expectations will be higher there, yes. Playing squad will likely be better though... i'm sure he would prefer it that way.

Don’t think Emyr Humphries has quite met his level yet in the recruitment department.. Imagine if Town had appointed Josh Marsh as our Head of Football Operations. The DATM servers would have gone up in flames! Internal hires generally leave room for accusations of nepotism, but Humphreys was surely an obvious candidate to make the step across given his recruitment experience in the academy. If anything, Academy Manager to Head of Recruitment seems a sideways move for him, but perhaps a necessary step if he's regarded as a potential HOF on the succession plan. Seems a bit strange the club (to the best of my knowledge) has never announced his switch though, nor who has been responsible for managing the academy since July.

I think a lot of luck went into it last year. But if we remember the season before, defensively we were awful and shipping goals left right and centre. It’s clear to me following that season Carlos took stock and altered his style of play, keeping us defensively solid and breaking/nicking games with set pieces. He realised he couldn’t proceed with his gung ho style with the players at his disposal, so he altered his tactics to make us successful….the sign of a great manager imo.

We might have got to third and I'm not one of the Town fans that actively didn't want to go up, but my god the football was crap. IMO of course

At least fozza is willing to have a go, backwards, sideways backwards, nick a set piece goal. It's relegation survival football that somehow got us a 3rd place finish.... then he got found out with a ridiculously defensive formation and selection in the play off final. Abysmal, never fully warmed to him, fozza will rip his head off in March all been well.
