    Hecky wants the job, but not with existing coaches in tow, Hecky would do a great job here.

    Maybe, but hope not. Will he think he has peaked at Luton now? Will other prem clubs look at him? I think he could be tempted, but in all honesty I suspect we are going a different route. Would be a good candidate for us though I think.

    Nah I think he's above our station. Luton will either stay up or be relegated with parachute payments and a promotion ready squad and I really doubt he'll be sacked

    I want a manager who can grow with the club. Reservations about ‘Hecky’ being good enough to manage in the prem.

    Over the last week or so I've got my head around Heckingbottom possibly getting the job. A month ago I would have been gutted but I now think he would do a good job.

    Gonna tell you a story from the horses mouth, last year when Sheff utd were skint and I mean skint.
    At the end of the month no staff were paid, the groundsman had to get lime white powder to do lines at training ground and Bramhall Lane from Sheffield Uni.
    Hecky had to deal with all kinds of ****e in his last 4 month, cos the owner would not spend anything for the club, till he got threatened by the PFA and about 10 other bodies who were owed money.
    He then borrowed money to pay the wages etc.
    That's a fact.
    Thick skinned is hecky if he's got the tools he will do the job anywhere

    I’d support whoever came in but I’d quite like Mark Robins if we could get him.

    How do you know he will do a great job here? Not saying he won't but we have no idea if he will do a great job or not

    Watching “the Mackem Miracle - Roy Keane’s Sunderland story” on YouTube (again). Don’t think Keano is the answer now, but these young players needs standards from anyone coming in. Someone who can galvanise not just the players, but the city. Very difficult task to find that person, but we need a personality in here who demands the best for us lot.

    Jemaine defoe wants the job i read, but we need experience. I reckon Di canio back he has that passion.
