Back to the carousel then? So you're taking it as gospel from Nicko that because we've spoken to Duff, we've decided to appoint him? Did we not have a shortlist of 10-12, all of whom we will have spoken to?

Final interviews happening next week Spoke to quite a few who are in work But we've already decided on Duff, apparently? Based on the fact that a journalist has reported that we've made contact with him?

On the whole, Barnsley fans are a fairly shrewd bunch in my opinion. Understandably there is a bit of resentment at the way he jumped ship in the summer, but the general feeling was that they were onto something special with Duff...

Just out of interest who in your opinion would be the inspiring and be a realistic target. I haven’t a clue mate in all honesty, dream world Steve Cooper. Realistic if I had a gun to my head I’d take a punt on John Mousinho someone who’s coming from a winning dressing room. Would he come, who knows. Problem is we don’t know who we are interviewing and talking to, there maybe someone not mentioned whose interviewed and could be incredible but we just don’t know.

I can never understand supporters who require a certain style of football
I grew up on mainly 4 4 2 formations where a speedy winger would run 40yds with the ball and bang a cross into the box for a big target man to head in a goal...I loved it!...passing the ball to death in your own half is mind numbingly boring for me
I loved the championship football under David wagner with the high energy...but tbh never enjoyed watching carlos,s team quite as much and thought a lot of that season was good luck
For me..as long as we win I can enjoy many styles of football

2 hours ago Nixon has been asked if Duff is front runner.
Despite his article he is then saying he is a strong candidate but they are still interviewing. So I don’t think he is nailed on.
Don’t know how to put the screenshot on here

Sorry I deleted my post thinking it came across wrong.. anyhow I agree it is a funny one to work out, not sure myself who would be the best fit. Not sure this Duff thing is just Nixon putting previous interest into the equation.

Helik has played under Duff at Barnsley, wonder if he’s sung his praises to the hierarchy?

Mousinho would surely be highly unlikely to leave Pompey considering they’re flying at the top of the table and could easily swap places with us. Also a cockney who’s spent his entire career down south.

Nixon is a funny one, sometimes bang on sometimes miles wide of the mark.

No I know, I was being facetious after a few people took "Huddersfield have spoken to Michael Duff" to mean "Huddersfield have decided to appoint Michael Duff".

After reading it a second time it’s actually a bit wishy washy. Basically translates to 3 sentences. He has been interviewed. He’s keen on it. We wanted him in the summer. Hardly ground breaking stuff from Nixon….again My bad!

One thing is clear- there is no clear choice that everyone would be happy with, in fact many views are polar opposites!
Whoever we appoint- and at this stage it's not decided- they will have to hit the ground running to have a chance of uniting the fan base for 16 cup finals to come!

Alan Nixon does this all the time. He posts something so vague then if it doesn't happen, "was one of a number" or "things broke down", and if it does "Aye". Fire enough bullets and one will hit eventually.
He's a shit journalist with weird sycophantic followers who dote on his every word.

Pretty sure it just says we’re in talks. But aren’t we in talks with numerous others?

Ah right.apologies.hopefully it can get sorted soon so we can stop speculating and crack on with moaning about how shit they are before actually listening to what they have to say or watching any of the football they produce…….also been facetious 😀

No problem love, trains are easy enough… No love, think John Candy and Steve Martin type journeys… (yes, I know Aberdeen has an airport…) One train per day runs direct from Aberdeen to Penzance. Can see Warnock living it up in first class...

I've heard that before duff was sacked at Swansea, the players called a meeting with him and told him they wouldn't be playing the style he wanted. A revolt shall we say, not long later he was sacked.
That being said, his style of football was never going to be a Swansea way, but it may be more effective with us. I think in his case he was just the wrong man at the wrong club, much like Moore here. We could be the right club at the right time for duff.
I also believe we aren't the right club for Eustace nor he the right man for us, personally I think he was doing alright but not spectacular at Brum from the outside, but their fans might feel a bit differently, I think he needs a league one job to prove himself a bit more, interesting that there's been a couple of those but he doesn't get mentioned too often, wonder if that's merely down to still being paid off by Brum?

Also, if Warnock takes the Aberdeen job, does that mean we stop paying him, if that is indeed what we are still doing
