If Worthington beats Wednesday convincingly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they give him a run at it permanently If we stuff them like 6-0, maybe Impossible. They're just too good for us

If it is Heckingbottom, his court date must've affected the appointment, and may explain the Worthington announcement. Article says he's 'preparing for a new role in football'. Also mentions about him collecting his kids from school- wasn't someone on here mentioning chatting to him about the Town job last week while he was doing that exact thing?

A driving ban just makes Huddersfield an even more attractive proposition for Heckingbottom, or Heckbum which my son called him when he played for Bradford, than a club further from Barnsley.
After all the errmms and told listen! scaffolding and spanish/english no one understands, his press stuff will be a nice change.
He talks great, he even sounds like most of us. If we’ve met him, which we have, i can’t believe we were anything other than impressed.
I also like Stuart McCall. Everyone fails at Bradford, can’t hold that against him.

Dream appointment is Cooper, sensible ones Nigel Pearson reality will be Heckingbottom I imagine as they will just see that he’s left a PL team and go from there…as these are the same lot that thought Darren Moore played attacking football and Heckingbottom is very similar to Moore Ball my money is on him. What is this obsession with some fans for Cooper, i would rather have Daffy Duck in charge. There is only one man for this job and god knows who that is.

Love the image, but I think that he has less wins than Moore. He doesn't speak a single word English, either, and isn't interested in learning. Yes, I can believe that. Doing most of his schooling in the communist German Democratic Republic, he would have learnt Russian if any foreign language. After the Iron Curtain came down, he spent 20 years at almost exclusively East German clubs, so there wouldn't have been much opportunity for him to speak/practice English, I'd guess. Even the kids of the kids from the immediate post-communist days struggled with English. Pity, really, I think he'd have been a good fit, otherwise.

didnt Heckingbottom appoint Mark Hudson as defensive coach at Sheff Weds, could mean a return for Mark also. I am sure there where some romours at the time of Neil wanting Mark as part of his team also.
Was always a good pro, and a liked coach just maybe not going to make it as a manager, while we are at it what is Dean Whitehead doing at the moment.
Heckingbottom Hudson McCall
would be a decent team and some links to the club with Hudson.

If (BIG IF) there was a chance of appointing Cooper then this would be a massive statement of intent, he stock is high currently. He didnt get lucky at Forest he was the only manager for many years to get Forest promoted, lots of pressure at forest to succeed its not an easy job and he was well liked.

Cooper is well out of our league currently. I think a few people need to come back down to reality and just look at our position.

Personally I think it will be a Head Coach. KN and his DOF seem to want to control who we sign. So I expect someone who is comfortable with than role.

Cartwright knows this appointment is make or break for him. Nagle knows it also therefore will and has said previously he does not stop any appointments/ signings .

Realistically, I'd go for either Heckingbottom, Rowett or Duff.
No way Cooper comes to us, he's waiting for the Palace job.

Heckingbottom just been banned for speeding for 6 months, least he know's how to accumulate points. However something we lack is pace so imagine he's not coming. Anymore? Banned for speeding for 6 months- now that is a heavy foot. He’s managed more points in under a minute than Moore did in a month.

Wagner did exactly the same job as Cooper and never got another Premier league gig
Palace always sign ex arsenal players or foreigners
In essence Cooper is a championship manager
Also David Wagner didn't have 150 million to spend on players the first season we got promoted
He's not pep guardiola...he's a good championship manager

I reckon we need Part II of this, part one was so good and actually predicted the future mess of getting rid of Warnock to a tee.
Anyway another justified plug for the excellent 'And he takes that chance' team.
