Wow, just watched his press conference, what a likeable and enthusiastic guy he is. I’d love him to succeed, if results were based on how a manager comes across then we’d win comfortably tomorrow. Here’s hoping, he certainly comes across as having what it takes to be a head coach. Judging by the goal WBA just conceded Carlos is missing him  |

I remember growing up thinking footballers were these big grown ups. Then I got to the same age and I felt old. Now I'm older than the managers aswell. One foot in the grave! It used to seem an impossibility to be older than the club owners. And then that happened...multiple times  |

He’s always the most enthusiastic of all of them and the players certainly listen to him. |

I'm old enough to be the manager's dad (and some), how do you think I feel 🤣. It still feels like yesterday when Mark Lillis and Steve Kindon were my heroes 🙄 |

It still feels like yesterday when Mark Lillis and Steve Kindon were my heroes 🙄 Everyone in the playground wanted to be either Coppell or Kindon at my school. I've got Steve Kindon's autograph on my tea mug. For me I'd usually shout Rivelino when I shot. Remember being on a Zoom call to my mum and she spotted my Kindo mug. 'who's that' , she asked 'Kindo?' 'is he a new Japanese player?' |

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. I don't know about you, but if God isn't sat on a cloud helicoptering his all-powerful wang-of-creation then it just doesn't seem real to me. That image is going to take a while to get rid of  |

There is some overlap, but they are very different. A performance coach is typically focused on improving an athlete's overall performance, both physically and mentally. This might involve developing and implementing training programs, working on technique and tactics, and using psychological techniques to build confidence and resilience. A fitness coach, on the other hand, is primarily focused on improving an athlete's physical fitness, strength, and conditioning. They typically develop and implement exercise and training programs to help the athlete meet their fitness goals. From the kind of phrases and confident positivity that comes out of the Chicho's pre match presentation today, it's no great surprise that he has a good relationship with someone in that field, as he naturally exudes that infectious positivity and feeling of being part of a team in spades that embodies everything that a performance coach might train someone to do on the mental side of things. The guy is a natural motivator. We used to have a manager, a coach with a bucket and sponge and a sub all sat in a concrete or wooden dugout. Never did me any harm. You probably smoked 10 Woodbines waiting to go on as well, that may have been harmful  |

Judging by the goal WBA just conceded Carlos is missing him I never listened to a full presser by Fotheringham, I just couldn't do it. Just listened to Chico's and it was really good to hear the things he said, he just sounds very honest and upbeat. So different to MF. I only wish they would make them 15 minutes instead of getting on for half an hour. You get the same question phrased differently by the journos and the coach repeats the same answers. |

Cheer up, fella. Whatever happens from now on in, we've got rid of the most inept manager the clubs ever had. And replaced him with another one. The fans are so hypocritical. They moaned like fuck when Schofield was given the job, some people were demanding he be sacked after 45 minutes of the Burnley game. So we got rid of him, and then they moaned like fuck that we'd appointed another inexperienced manager and wanted him sacked after his first game. So then we sack him and put another inexperienced manager in charge (everything points to this being a permanent appointment) but everyone is buzzing because they "love him", apparently. You couldn't write it. I guarantee you now that if we lose tomorrow, no criticism whatsoever will be directed towards Pelach, yet if we win, it'll all be down to him being a genius. Appointing an experienced manager is paramount, but you just know we won't do it. The players need organising, tactically, motivating and having their confidence built back up. I am sure Chico can do the last two, the first one remains to be seen. If we get an experienced manager in, in 2 or 3 games time, I think the players will be in a better place than they were when MF left. |

Chico has had the responsibility for all dead ball situations for the last few seasons. He’s already shown his abilities to organise though I appreciate he has to show it for the entire game. |

One thing that struck me in the interview was that he didn’t feel it was right to leave us and join Carlos after what happened last season, even though he had the offer. I may be reading too much into this but I think he’s echoing what a lot of us felt, in that the club stood by Carlos in that first bad season and after what we achieved last year he should've at least done another season with us. Really pleased that Narcis appears to agree with that sentiment. There’s a word for that kind of attitude and behaviour, sadly extremely lacking in current times: Integrity. This man seems to have bucket loads of it. I’m sure he’ll go far in this game and that we’ll join him for part of that journey. |

I don’t feel quite as stupid now! I was thinking Ian Greaves You're actually correct, Ian Greaves was 32 when he took caretaker charge in 1964. ***Chicho Pelach is the fourth-youngest man to take charge of Huddersfield Town***  Eventful 10 years for Greavsie, no wonder he looked in his fifties by the time we parted company with him, after a majority of early successful seasons it all came crashing down with the double relegations, he was given our first full season in Division 3 & failed to get us promoted........even then don't think he was sacked, didn't he resign? |

.... also nice to see someone from the club acknowledge the play off final and maybe allude to the fact we were totally shafted. Sometimes I think it was all a dream due to the fact nobody at the club has ever even mentioned it. Weird. Maybe sums up the apathy at the top.

It shows his loyalty to the club, and reminds us that we are capable of these things as a club My opinions on Carlos Corberan (why the insistence on calling people by their first names? Carlos, Chicho, Boris, Rishi etc...) are irrelevant. He's gone and is managing somewhere else. The only thing that matters about Pelach is if he gets results. What he says in press conferences is immaterial, results on the pitch are the only thing that's important here. If he doesn't get them, he shouldn't last very long. If he does get them, brilliant, we stay up, get taken over and have the opportunity to get a proper manager in. |
