To be honest I am not really sure who people honestly think we are going to get as our manager. Unless we go for someone completely untried, then they are going to have a couple of managerial failures on their record, and Hoyle has said he isnt going to go for the untried manager this time, so whoever it is, will have had at least one very difficult period where they have been sacked from a club. Do you honestly think a manager who has had success at every club he has been at would be applying for a job with us? Mcleish wouldnt be my first choice, out of the ones who are favourite, but he is about the type of manager who we could attract.

I am actually surprised we CAN attract any of the mentioned managers, they are all Higher profile than we have had previously. all have had success, and failure. However I can still see there being a bit of a spanner thrown in the works before anything is announced someone who we haven't talked about is going to be thrown into the hat and you are all gonna be shocked, it probably won't please everyone but I bet it could please a lot. I am not actually 'in the Know' about anything its just a gut feeling I have

I look at this way if McLeish is genuinely hungry, wanting to re-establish himself and has something to prove then he has the right outlook. How good a man manager is he, because that is what we need, I don't know.
As posted elsewhere we need a manager who wants the the job not a manager who wants a job - there is a difference.
Any manager we get will be under pressure to improve us, some will engage and excite the fans some will not. It would appear that McLeish might fall into the latter category which means he needs to hit the ground running.
Whoever it is this is a big season for us, we have started poorly with all the upheaval and despite having some decent quality in the team we still need more and we need a personality and belief running through the 1st team squad. At the moment this is a crucial element that is lacking, despite Lillis' heroic efforts to improve things.
Quite frankly we could get one of Gok Wan, John McCririck, Mary Berry, Barak Obhama, Jimmy Cricket or Geoffrey Boycott in as manager for me - as long as they get the team playing together, for each other and for the fans I'll be happy. As one of those once said..."it's all about the confidence"....

also I wouldnt read much into the odds, Tempest explained in the examiner either today or yesterday about the betting and the odds for McLeish. Its just such a strange market that when one candidate is backed everyone just seems to go for them, in the same way for Pressley a few days ago. If they had suspicion that the sources were saying it was going to be him they would suspend the betting. At the moment they are still clueless I reckon.

Would be an awful appointment Why? For many of the already highlighted reasons, his football is as dull as dishwater, and despite a promotion and a cup I think his record in England is pretty shoddy with an average win percentage of just 24.2% with 3 teams, 2 of which were involved in the Championship and had far better squads than we currently have. I know his management has been in the Premier League too whilst in England but the football was dire. Got a few Villa mates at uni who describe him very similarly to how we'd describe Robins, no plan B, strange substitutions and often looked like he had no idea what he's doing. I don't buy into all this "We're Huddersfield Town who do people think we can actually bring in?" Etc, for the wage AM would be on I'd honestly rather have Powell or Mowbray, preferably Powell out of those 2. Obviously in an ideal world Hughton or Lennon. Would you be happy if AM got the job? |

Has Roger Johnson played any games for wolves this season, he was a key man for AM at Brum, we wont be getting Scott Dann though. Totally underwhelmed, they couldn't be more of a contrast in excitement when lots got a bit giddy and wanted Kluivert. Anyone want to buy a bet?  ? |

Two ?? Can people please stop mentioning Billy Davies. Seriously. I very very rarely (if ever) dream about football, but I woke up in a cold sweat last week thinking we'd appointed BD. Anybody else and I'll trust Deano but BD and I'll have to find a new hobby or I'll fail the "You must get behind the new Manager test". Yes two...Derby and Forest... So why is he not good enough for Huddersfield Town ?? Please explain.. I am not being funny, I just don't understand why not. ciyorkie Billy Davies didn't get promotion to the Premiership at Forest (Hence my question). In fact given the backing he received his record was poor, one of the reasons he was sacked. East Leake is in Nottinghamshire has a Leicestershire postcode (& my sons go to school in Leicestershire) and I work in Derby. Hence I mix with a mixture of fans of the 4 main East Midlands teams. I was asked at my lad's Cricket club on Sunday who was up for the job. I said "everyone according to our message board". I added "scarily Billy Davies". The laughter and shaking of heads around the room should tell you everything. A Leicester fan piped up "He's a nutcase isn't he?" To nods of agreement. It appears BD can start an arguement with anyone, anywhere & makes Stan Ternent look like a peace keeper. His dealings with the media are a joke (banned the local press at Forest) and he apparently doesn't give a sh8*te about acadamys. I understand He's prone to nepotism (jobs for his family and friends) with little apparent justification. He appears to require big funds to operate and hasn't a great record spending these funds. A Derby ST holder advised "you may get initial success as initially he scares the sh8*te out of players but in the long term you'll go backwards as the morale and infrastructure of the club will be ruined". I dread the thought of Town becoming a joke in the East Midlands and being constantly greeted by the query "What's Billy done now?" |

Didn't know Ally McCoist was in the running! I wouldn't be disappointed , whoever we appoint some people are gonna be happy some aren't! Unless we can get Ferguson out of retirement! |

Now that appointment would turn a few heads! Each to their own, I agree with the sentiment but it's a big no to McLeish from me, I'll trust Hoyle though unlike some on here it seems! For now I'm more than happy with Lillis in charge, it's just the fact we need 2/3 new players in and the window deadline is fast approaching that is worrying me |

I am a firm believer in the adage - you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. We do not need an old guy - they only have their method and that's all we will get. To reiterate, the new man has got to want the job, not just sign up for a job. I don't think BD or AM give a shit about the long term vision at Town, they will just churn out the same style that they always have.UTT

Still think it'd be a shit appointment

I am a firm believer in the adage - you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. We do not need an old guy - they only have their method and that's all we will get. But wasn't this a common complaint about Robins - that he had a very infelxible system which he was trying to force on a squad that didn't seem to like it? He wasn't an 'old dog'. There were frequent claims that Clark had no 'plan B' either and he was supposed to be another young up and coming progressive manager. |

if I had a say in the new manager - I know it would not be this guy - but I don't so I will have to become part of the unhappy minority don't say owt to upset the apple cart clapping brigade or whatever they are called this week
with AM in charge I fear a relegation battle whilst not assured would be something we will face - if he does get appointed and we stay up then I will at season end do a gigantic version of the ice bucket challenge (wearing a leeds shirt) and donate 100 squid to Deano's charity of choice
