I couldn't see DM getting a championship job until town appointed him. He was one game away from the sack at a league one club before he left. I disagree with this. He has done well at a few clubs and a promotion on his CV would certainly have made him an attractive option to some championship clubs. Maybe not your Leicesters or Norwich but without a doubt the likes of QPR, Rotherham, et al Well he has played and coached at Premier League level which is more than many / most of our previous managers……who did people expect? Guardiola?

many options for the next manager had been discussed during the process and the club will even be looking now for who they think could be next not because DM is under pressure but because this is how all football clubs work you need a plan in place for every possibly scenario. DM the more he was spoken to moved to the top of the list and the number 1 choice, we acted as soon as Darren was available so we didnt lose him to another club, other championship jobs will be avaialble soon and Darren would have been a strong canditate for any of them, we did move a little quicker due to the fact some frustrations with NW had started to show up but we are only talking a month or so at the most, we had already identified DM as a strong option just decieded to speak to him a little sooner than expected due to frustrations. I couldn't see DM getting a championship job until town appointed him. He was one game away from the sack at a league one club before he left. His sacking had been decided after the 1st leg debacle, most of the fans wanted him gone before the 2nd leg in reality, without the help of Peterborough United who were absolutely clueless (or rigged it) at Hillsboro he would be sat at home twiddling his thumbs.......Next five games will tell us if DM is capable of getting the lads playing again after he changed it badly last week.

So, just out of curiosity. Does anyone know who "castlehillterrier" actually is. Guessing by the fact he only signed up in September, and seems to speak with a level of certainty about the inner workings, he could be connected in some way to the Nagle team in some form or other. Or maybe just another pseudo itk.....

I think he said he was the father of one of the players. I could have misremembered though

I could have misremembered though sorry i said my son was at Man Utd which is how i knew about WR coming back to the UK, my guess was it could have been town i had nothing to back this up just that he was coming back and we needed a mager 2+2 didn't equal 4 on that occasion. Everything else just what i have been told since, no direct connection to KN or his team sorry to disappoint.

It was your best friends son in your first post. If you want to be a credible “ITK” at least keep your stories straight 😩

" Ha ha, I really don’t care I have read DATM for many many years I am fully aware that some people love to pipe up, some people are genuine, some always want to know more, and some that wouldn’t believe anything unless it comes from Maynard (I also always trust what Maynard say BTW!).

Whilst it's been a discouraging start, writing a manager off after 4 games seems premature in the extreme. Particularly as 3 of those halves were actually pretty good!
He's got a fortnight to work with most of them now. A bit of time to get his ideas across.
Obviously if we continue to put in performances like the one at Brum then there's a real problem there, but how much of a basket case would we have to be to bin him off now?
Even Mark Fotheringham was given more than half a dozen training sessions before being written off!
