If as we are led to believe Carmichael Dave reads this forum and is an advisor to KN you’d think Duff would be not the first choice.
He is the name that more universally would be unpopular atm. Some against PH. Some against Rowett but a large amount against Duff.
While I realise they shouldn’t be making a decision based on DATM I also think given the previous decision to remove NW and give it Moore they’d be sensible to take it into account. Appoint someone fans are on board with would give them more breathing space if it doesn’t initially go to plan.
Just my thoughts. I’m sure someone on Dictatorship at the Max will be along to shoot me down and ask me to justify my opinion any minute….

Duff is in the running, it would be very strange if he wasn’t. He’d be at least interviewed for a good chunk of Championship jobs.

Duff. A recent spectacular failure in this league and no other championship experience whatsoever. Wouldn't be my choice. I prefer track record over words especially when we're in a relegation battle. A large percentage of managers who get a new role as manager were failures in their last position i.e. they were sacked. If you look at Town managers over the last 15 years, they all failed eventually... all except Carlos Corberan that is.

There are a few regular voices on this thread who don't want Duff, but it's quite difficult to tell how much that represents the fanbase generally. Yes it would be more exciting if we appointed Christian Ilzer, Steve Cooper, or Fabian Hürzeler, but just because those candidates are more exciting, I don't think it automatically means a large amount of people are "against Duff." I was disappointed when we appointed Moore, underwhelmed even, but never against him.

He's probably interviewed for a load of others. There's reasons he doesn't get picked. I'd rather we had stuck with Moore.

If a manger is not prepared to move locally for the time of their employ at Town then don’t appoint him in my opinion.
Unless it was Warnock lol.

Careful, not in a looking over your shoulder sense, but not to assume that the DATM voices are representative of a general anti-Duff sentiment. Genuinely not trying to be argumentative!

The last time we had a poll for who we wanted as the next manager, other was first, Rooney was second and Moore was 3rd. I hope they don't listen to the fans tbf.

This thread is an infinite doom loop isn't it?
"We're rumoured to be looking at Pep Guardiola who is sick of the accusations that he is only successful at huge clubs"
"OH, ffs, he wears turtle neck sweaters and plays tippy tappy namby-pamby football!"
Or
"Thanks to modern science, we've managed to clone Herbert Chapman, our most successful ever manager. Chapman 2.0 takes over next week"
"Oh great, now we have to play in black and white"

This all reminds me of a Saturday night at my house when i ask the wife what take away she would like. Any! Not bothered. Is always the answer, any would be better than cooking. I then proceed to name every take away under the sun and she says no to all of them. think your Mrs is a bigamist mate... ... or a bigmissus

If it is down to 2 and the 2 are Bianco and Duff judging by the bookies odds 4/1 & 4/5. I can only see us going for Bianco, Duff is too similar to Moore we would be just going through the same thing we have been through in the past 6 months.

As with Darren Moore I can't say that Duff will be unsuccessful or successful but you get a feel for an appointment. With Moore I was prepared to give him a chance but there was enough evidence from fans about his tactics and style of football to have a concern (as to if he would be a success). When you read the reports, fans network and quotes Duff gets a mixed reputation. Barnsley fans largely speak highly of him, Swansea less so. His reaction to the concerns and criticism of those at the Liberty stadium suggest it is very much "my way or the highway". We definitely, well in my view, don't need someone who doesn't align with the supporters and is steadfast in his outlook. Yes we need someone who is confident in his outlook and has a plan but we also need someone who connects and "gets" the club. I would hope that, along with football strategy and ethos, this is part of what is being assessed at interview. Whoever it is it has to be a step forward. Get this wrong and Mr Nagle and all will have a hell of a job winning back fans. That isn't said as a warning but a statement of fact. As such it is right the all due consideration is given to making the call.

Hearing from a usually reliable source that Bianco was spotted having a meal at Da Sandro's last night, complaining about the food's lack of authenticity, and gesticulating wildly. Lemon pavlova cheesecake and ice cream went flying, with a scoop of each flavour of Neapolitan ice cream landing perfectly on the bald heads of Edwards, Cartwright, and Bianco himself. As the strawberry one landed on Bianco's head, he took the job on the spot (it's considered a sign of good luck in Apulia). Announcement at 3pm today. eno he was introduced to some town fans he gestured who the he’ll are these clowns get me out of here!!😀

If they are going to rule out any manager not liked on DATM then it's going to be a difficult process. What DATM are saying shouldn't be any consideration for them, and I'm sure it won't be. That isn't to say they shouldn't be considering how the fans will take to a manager in terms of personality and style of football etc. But they are the people doing the interviews, and they have to trust their own judgement, because it's them who will be held accountable if it doesn't work. Can you imagine Nagle blaming the fans when we get relegated because they decided to appoint a manager based on what this forum was saying.

One or two are beginning to call posters on this thread out now. As David Hartrick said in the latest We Are Terriers podcast (Steve/David, I accept payment by BACS), "football fans are just not rational". I'd re-phrase that and say that Town fans are more often than not totally irrational when they post. It's as though normal sentient human beings suddenly put their stupid cap on. Cooper... get real! Some guy from Europe whom they've never heard of before, but looks good because he's got a film star name; Warnock who the club sacked in the summer; and a certain German/US manager who is in employment and on the verge of the play offs. However, and fortunately, I understand that is less about plunging IQs in the HD area and more about some type of cognitive disease that afflicts football fans. Also, an old phenomenon with a new twist... a poster who posts the most outrageous ITK shite and and actually gets a kick out of winding other posters up, and seems to revel in receiving abuse for it. Cough... castlehillterrier. Perhaps he types wearing a hair shirt. Further, the head sheds at the club now realise that they got the last appointment wrong, although perhaps it might have turned out differently with some summer signings and fewer injuries. This is why, after realising their mistake, they are exploring every avenue in trying to get this appointment right. Unfortunately for them, whoever the new manager is, it's extremely likely that they will eventually be sacked... and in Town's case, sooner rather than later.

How dare you ask me to be reasonable and talk it through on a public forum for discussing opinions on this very topic, you facist' I think you may be projecting some issues.
