A stab in the dark, Pep Lijnders Klopps 2nd in command just like Wagner was, he his leaving Liverpool end of season. A lot of ifs and buts surrounding that.

Exactly, and in the meantime he might as well stay with Worthington who knows all the players and what makes them click, as well as displaying nous in formations and tactics. On a side note, you and your avatar are absolutely crippling my restraint. Delicious isn’t it! I think it’s what’s known these days as food porn.

To be fair if someone was to offer me Worthy till end of season and Pep Ljunders at the end of the season I’d take it.

Nixon saying Bianco is on the shortlist. Out of genuine interest (I'm not clued up on such matters), if this guy is actually being interviewed, how would such a wildcard end up applying for the job at our place? Seems very random. His agent might put it to him or the club might ask if he wants to apply

Thing is he doesn't leave until the end of the season he wouldn't want to sign up now not knowing what league we will be in and do we want worthy till the end of the season its a tough call to make.

We’re going to take a risk on Worthy saving us ? Any manager we get now is not a guarentee they will keep us up, how will this said new manager feel, if he fails and we drop into league 1, will he want to leave as division 1 is not for him. Very complicated.

Is it just me or am I seeing a large dollop of Townrwe in CastleHillTerriers insight and input? One is at the beginning of a three month holiday….stranger things have happened. Monitoring this closely. The 🔫 hasn’t been used in a week or so…. Think Snowy is actually Townre. Didn’t he joined a couple of days after his ban? Thought admins could check the IP’s of posters. We can. However it’s very easy to hide your IP address so it can make outing double account holders a slippery business. We do our best but pretty much have to monitor similarities in posting etc and find out the hard way, like a lot of you all do.

Having read up on their coaching styles and record I would much rather have Ilzer than The Italian chap if there’s any truth in the fact.
I also like the idea of Ryan Mason

Didn't Chicken and his mate say they'd go for Duff, and someone said that in last season's play off with Wednesday, his Barnsley side gave the Owl's a big problem with only 10 men. Why not ask our best central defender's opinion on Duff

People are naming all these decent managers, but what would happen if they failed and drop us in league 1, would they leave, would we sack him.

When does everyone think we will announce this new manager? Before or after the Southampton game? You'd have to imagine it will be one of the two. I just want to be able to stop checking this thread: One week in and I'm finding it more and more difficult to distinguish between genuine opinion and parody. Already looking forward to the Autumn 2024 iteration...

I think some fans comments are getting beyond toxic now. Statements like "if so and so signs I'll find something else to do with my saturdays" or "I won't be renewing my ticket if so and so signs". Fucking terrible fans. Whoever it is give them a chance before writing them off Acting like lasses Uncalled for misogyny. Nice one. Get back in your cave you prick.

Yes, really. Matty Pearson scored after just 2minutes. You bent the rules though. The point being made was that Town haven't lost from a winning position; Pearson's goal didn't put Town into a winning position. Pedantic, I know... It was a pun. (Which was amusing before having to explain it 🤷♂️😂…and I used the word “although” to keep my pronouncement accurately intact, introducing a second clause).

It's a two-horse race now between Duff and a foreign manager who the bookies aren't tracking. The appointment is to be announced this week and they're to take charge early next week. Second-hand information from a hit-and-miss source, but the hits are from way out of the blue often enough for me to think they are "in the know".

Why not ask our best central defender's opinion on Duff Fair point. BUT... who was the Wednesday manager? Were they happened to be setup in a defensive low block, against 10 men?

RE: some of the Scott Parker chatter.
Just received this from my Fulham supporting mate on my football chat.
"I feel like I put too many excessively negative football opinions on here to be taken seriously. I’m like the boy that cried wolf.
But to answer your question I dislike Scott Parker almost as much as Thomas Frank.
On paper he did ok at Fulham. We’ve had worse. But it was the worst brand of football I’ve ever watched. He didn’t improve any players, actually seemed to make several worse. Weird transfer decisions including bringing in his brother in law. Coaches out any attacking intent. And gives ridiculously cliched interviews.
Bournemouth fans feel the same. And he had good players at both. Then he went to Club Brugge which is basically like going to Ajax/PSV and finished 8th.
His football is so negative and dour he would probably keep you up with 0-0s alone. But he tries to create a team in his own image. Tidy on ball, low risk, defensive, safe. Decent player in his day but nobody would pay to watch a team of Scott Parkers."

When you say bookies aren’t tracking,you mean to say not bianco then buy another foreign coach? Only ask because bianco only seems to be on bet victor so could easily be missed.

Ilzer summary ... Took over Sturm Graz before 2020-21 season. Domestic - Good ... They were always 5th-ish prior to Ilzer with the odd 2nd - so a bit 'Spursy'? He got them 3rd in his first season then comfortably 2nd ever since - and are 2nd now - Salzburg always top (Man City of Austria). Europe - Not good ... Always out of Champions League in qualifying rounds Always bottom of Europa League (2nd bottom this time) Plays 4-4-2 - high press - ave <50% possession.

The longer the process goes on it makes me think it won't be Eustace, Heckingbottom or Duff. My line of thinking will be its an overseas manager and that's what's taking the time. Although they could be doing their "Due diligence" and I could be way off the mark 😆

I know! I wouldn't care but I moved here in 1968 when I was 6 but it still doesn't matter 😗🤣 I arrived in Huddersfield from Lancashire six years ahead of you. My family moved over as missionaries, hoping to civilise the natives. Obviously it didn’t work but I’m still here! From Lancashire??? Be gone, foul beast!!!

I doubt he’s offered him anything as he wouldn’t even entertain us as an option. He has a good reputation he would be daft to risk it on us. Hope I’m wrong but it is more likely we would be able to entice the next Steve cooper someone coming out of the England setup and looking for a chance Love to talk ourselves down, don’t we. Forget it’s Town for a minute. We’ve got a billionaire owner who blasted £4m at the last window (nearly unheard of in this division) and 20,000 season ticket holders. We’re far bigger than some of the teams who play in the Prem, although they don’t suffer from the same need to tell everyone how small they are. The last manager was piss poor and the fan expectation isn’t particularly high. Manage to stay up this season and it looks a pretty good job to me. The bit in bold is quite important though. The squad still looks unbalanced to me and there's no opportunity to bring in anyone else (bar free agents) until the end of the season.
