So am I. I’m praying over and over again it’s not Wilder. Why, do you think he'll play Matt Lowton ?

I was inclined to think the Chicho might get the gig until the end of the season as he's just brought his own coach over, but then I also think the club would have announced that straight away like they did with Schofield. I wish Chicho and the boys all the best against Wigan. Come on boys! But I'm still sending my prayers to the almighty lord above for Wilder or Dean Smith. Sadly you can't say "almighty lord" anymore as he ia about to become "our gender neutral person who art in heaven"... It would be interesting changing 'The father, the son and the holy ghost' into a gender neutral phrase. Perhaps somethings will stay as the are.

Wishing the lads in the interim all the best. Worthy it’s own post as it’s not just ‘new manager’ stuff. One thing I noticed - the lad from Spain who just ‘jumped on a flight’ yesterday already has a puffer jacket with his initials on….surely his arrival can’t have been that unknown or imminent….don’t those take a few days to sort out!?…. Good luck lads Like all clubs, Town keep a warehouse fully stocked with 87,880 jackets (all 3 letter combinations in 5 sizes). Thought this was common knowledge.

Though, interestingly, people are willing to drop the gender = genitals requirement in the case of God (presumably!). So being a 'man' has long meant more than something about chromosomes and genitalia (and 'woman' too).

The guy appears to be a fitness coach by trade so when the new guy comes in he will still be of use. Why are some posters already getting their knickers in a twist? Really odd. Doesn't seem like he's had a "fitness" role historically. www.transfermarkt.com/alvaro-reina/profil/trainer/47563

It may very well be entirely different.

I fear this will end in tears. And to be honest, three rookie managers in one season, we shouldn't be surprised. Hope I'm wrong and he miraculously digs us out of this self inflicted hole we are in. Fingers and everything else crossed for us Senor Pelach......!!!

We've just paid 7 figures to get rid of Buzz. I highly doubt we will be spending the money to sort a new manager out until the club is in new hands

Do we actually have a team capable of winning? I think we do, we've looked unorganised rather than inept.
We need to hit the ground running at this point and I think Pelach is the correct choice but agree he may not be the right person in the long run.
Looking forward to a response at Wigan and hope that everyone able to go gives it 100%.

Win tomorrow and Pelach is a genius, lose tomorrow and it's all Fotheringham's fault. Seen it all before.

I'm a lot happier going into tomorrow with Narcis than MMF, that doesnt mean I think hes necessarily the answer, but at least it's the first step in a forward direction. I dont know who is or isnt a possibility going forward but it's pretty pointless to be utterly up or down about Narcis at this point. UTT

Clear indication that we need to attack better and can’t win games just defending!

Would you take head coach job?
"No, no, no. Thank you for asking but I don't like to talk about it. Let's go to the Wigan game, try to compete well then we'll see what happens."

UTT Bang on. 2 things I think will happen. 1) Narcis will pick a correct team, he won’t be bigging players up only to then completely drop them come match day. He won’t (shouldn’t) have square pegs in round holes. 2) the fans will, at least initially, get behind him and give him a chance. We can’t really be any worse than we have been in recent weeks. Whilst I don’t see him as the long term answer, nor does he apparently want the job permanently, I think he’ll be a relatively safe pair of hands for a handful of games.

That was a great interview, I really want him to succeed. We'll see what the next couple of results look like, but I already feel better about him after one day than I ever did about Fotheringham.

I know it's been said by a few already this morning but whatever Narcis achieves as a coach in these next few games isn't he a breath of fresh air? Positive, humble, intelligent and believable.
I really hope this works for him and for Town. Irrespective of the outcome he comes a cross as a fantastic bloke and he deserves our support.
The fact a few of us have already felt better about things after a handful words you have to hope the impact on the players is the same.
We haven't much to lose and we're in a tough spot right now but this minute you at least feel we might have chance.
All the best Narcis - keep being positive, keep believing and keep it real. I'm behind you mate!

Apart from our Championship status, of course. Just out of interest, do you have any opinion on who we should be targeting? A name if possible, and the reason why. Chris Wilder, Dean Smith, Gareth Ainsworth, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Paul Cook would be five names. Wilder for obvious reasons. Smith for obvious reasons. Ainsworth because he's a breath of fresh air and has done really well with Wycombe, I think a character like him would give the club a massive lift, especially after the arsehole we've just had. And also, he knows what he's doing. He's been at Wycombe for 11 years now and perhaps he's needing a new challenge. Hasselbaink is one that I've always kept an eye on, despite being a big name, he has no problem in taking small jobs. Granted, he recently left Burton but the first time round he did really well and also saved them from almost-certain relegation a couple of years ago. He's also managed in the Championship with QPR. Cook has done well almost everywhere he's been and he did a good job at Wigan when they were in absolute turmoil a few seasons ago. They were only relegated because the Football League deducted points at the end of the season rather than the start of the following season as normal. There's five names that I would be sounding out. Go on, say it, "They wouldn't come here".

My guess is that there's some influence behind the scenes with the potential of new ownership at the club. I really haven't the foggiest of course, but hopefully we've kissed enough frogs to land another prince...

The why and how can be argued as long as you like, and I understand it probably will. However, purely on the basis of where we are right now we need to believe and not be afraid of a negative outcome.
