Same melodrama from posters who know fuck all Ok i will delete until otherwise. I thought the guy who has posted it was in the know they'd got something right on Bojan but not sure its the same account in hindsight.

Even if he does come what's the problem? I've got news for you, Pep and Klopp ain't coming so if we gone for a recent premier league manager that got a very unfashionable Sheffield United team automatically promoted last season then perhaps you should give him a chance before shaking your lettuce.

In our situation, I’m intrigued to know some names who you think would be a better fit? And why you’re so against Heckingbottom? Genuine questions…

To be honest, I fully expected Heckingbottom to be announced within 24 hours of Moore going to give him the last couple of days of the window to tweak the squad.

I'd definitely be OK with that appointment. It's all well and good people saying it's a 'boring' option and we should go with an up and coming international coach, but, like with Wagner and Carlos, it took time to get their ideas across and for them to learn what the championship is about. We need someone who knows the division well and Heckingbottom has done well at Barnsley and Sheff U in the Championship previously.

All these in the knows too busy telling datm rather than smashing every penny they have on the 8/11 on skybet. If there was a decision made someone would know and the book comes down pretty quickly

I’ll get behind him if he comes in, just seems a lazy appointment if true. I feel like we need to do things differently and have someone come in that the whole club buys into their philosophy. I appreciate that it’s not a time for experimenting, but to say you want good attacking football and hire Heckingbottom looks contradicting. Hopefully I’m wrong!

Unfashionable? I prefer expensively assembled, recently relegated, I think it's more accurate. If it's heckingbottom I won't be getting excited as he's never really over achieved, similar to Moore however he did improve Sheffield United massively and would hopefully come with mccall, who is very experienced and highly rated as a coach. People are entitled to be underwhelmed, we had the same bollocks when Moore was appointed despite lots of us knowing it was a really poor appointment. If you think it's great that's fine but if others don't that's also fine and maybe they're a better judge than you? I hope not if it does turn out to be him.

Would be an improvement on Moore in terms of communication. The football not so much

He was an automatic promotion winning manager last season - crazy to me that people are turning their nose up at him.

At sheff u he played to a style that suited what he had- to as you say promotion and second place, to probs one of the best champ sides ever in burnley.

You have to look deeper than that. Not saying he’s a bad appointment but it would be more of the same in terms of football I think. Hopefully he could motivate them better and communicate better with the fans

Don't know what I make of this, if it's him. It's 'uninspiring' on the face of it, but he has a decent record at this level and maybe his Yorkshire roots will help him connect with the fanbase a bit. We need some energy and passion from whoever it is.

We need some energy and passion from whoever it is. Very different divisions though… It’s uninspiring because he’s not Warnock or an eccentric foreign guy who wears a flatcap. To me, it’s the logical and smart move in our current situation.

Burnley weren’t one of the best champ sides ever, they won one of the worst championships ever. Sheff U wouldn’t be top 3 this year but then that’s not their fault I suppose.

People have to pick a horse/political party/team, and these days they get upset if their choice doesn't win.
I have no idea if Heckingbottom will be the new manager or if he will excel or end up a damp squib, but what I do know is that the people on here who didn't want him will be desperate to ridicule, and dismiss his abilities at the earliest opportunity. It will make them feel good so that when he loses a game or gets sacked, they will be able to tell everyone how right they were.
That's the way this football forum works.

I don’t think anyone could do much worse than Moore to be honest. & I think Heckingbottom is at the top end of realistic managers to get in.

Don't know if it is him, but it's always more difficult for someone with a basic English name to create excitement. If it was Pablo Heckingbahamas with the same managerial record he would instantly be a bit more well received.

I agree some will form an opinion as he is unfashionable, I would personally describe heckingbottom as a middle of the road appointment would hopefully improve us but it wouldn’t be all that exciting to watch. He would need better players to achieve what he did with sheff Utd

Think Warnock was just saying that to take the pressure off to be honest, they finished terribly and have looked poor in the premier league. I agree on them selling berge but then at the same time how easy it is to dominate championship games with him in your side. We don’t have anywhere near that quality in the middle.
