    I wish they would just yet someone in like! I thought with Dodds being in as caretaker it would give them time to get stuff sorted and it would be announced quickly, that didn't happen. Fair enough most managers were still in work so couldn't really start sorting stuff until all leagues had finished etc.. maybe?

    But I feel like Bill Murray in groundhog day but without the benefit of learning to play the piano and have multiple do overs until I learn what the Mrs wants! :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Didn't Heckingbottom have the majority of Sheffield Uniteds squad that got promoted and competitive in the prem? Spent a couple million on the centre half aswell, had Sander Berge. Hardly a terrible squad

    He had Gibbs White on loan and couldn't get promoted. Sander Berge, McBurnie, McAtee, Doyle, Ahmedhodzic, Ndiaye and others. Thats an unbelievable set of players for the championship. All these players were either signed for big fees or have went on to be signed for big fees. Maybe you should do your homework for once eh?

    That's not true... he got them up with plenty money. They just didn't pay the recipients

    I want Flinders Petrie and Mortimer Wheeler on my team, but it's just not going to happen. Sometimes you just have to work with who you're given.

    The Rene Maric saga has gone very quiet.

    Did he accept the offer that Bayern allegedly put to him?

    You want to talk about dropping points? What about Hecky having 5 points when he was sacked in December? And to say they spent no money is a myth, spent over £60million.

    I could've got that side promoted.

    Couldn't keep them up,
    Failed at Leeds,
    Failed at hibs.

    I'm sure he's a decent bloke, but not for me.

    I don’t care if it’s Still. I am certain Hecky would be a bad appointment.

    I’d have taken him after Barnsley when we were linked but after Leeds it’s a huge red flag.

    He failed at exactly the job we need done.

    I think there's a middle ground here. Hecky isn't as good as Bob thinks and he's not as bad as some others think.

    Either way, he's not even been remotely linked to our job as far as I've seen. So it's all a tad irrelevant.

    That’s absolute bollocks though. Every man and his dog expected Burnley to piss it, we all said it on here.

    I don’t care what TalkSport said I care what we the fans said, Burnley were head and shoulders and so it was proven.

    That article is from way before kick off.
