My gut feeling is we don't get promoted with Heckingbottom. It's the same feeling I had with Will Grigg. He's done it once so he'll do it again. Things rarely work like that in my opinion.

I just hope the uproar if its Heckingbottom is aimed at the club / Speakman, not Heckingbottom himself. It's not the bloke's fault.
He's a better manager than Beale, and may even end up a good appointment. But the process to get here is what was absolutely shocking.

The bookies must’ve made a fortune from our manager market. I’ve only wasted a fiver thankfully 
Seem feeling as when we appointed parky for me, done it before, dull as dishwater, hope it’s not true but if it is I hope to be pleasantly surprised by him
Personally I'm a long way from thinking about promotion. I've reached the desperate place of fearing relegation
Managing high end international teams are for the 2nd rate or semi retired nowadays. I agree, any manager ruling themselves out is a PR mistake, but I certainly wouldnt be ruling myself in if I was a top end Premier League manager.
I can’t fathom why some are so against Hecky, he has shown he knows how to get out of this divisionIn all seriousness my thoughts on Heckingbottom (if this current snowball is true... nowt else to talk about)
- At least he knows how to put a winning team together in the Championship
- At least he's been promoted out of this division, even if style of play isn't exciting
- He's dull as dishwater - but then I thought Mowbray was before we appointed him as well
- The club should absolutely not pretend he was first choice
. Its comical even writing that
If you'd offered me him a few weeks ago I'd have said to feck off. Now I just want it over with. A complete apathy. Just close somebody.
I’m ready for 10+ years in the championship. It’s getting no easier to go up
So we’re saying it’s heckingbottom because of a post that’s been liked
ok then
ok then
There isn't a manager on the market who guarantees us promotion, but there are a few names who you would expect to get us competing for a shot at the top-6 and I would include Heck in that short list.
Too hard to estimate a couple of years ahead let alone 10 years... but right now we are closer to a relegation side than a promotion one and I think that's pretty obvious.
If we can't close managerial appointments we won't be able to close player ones either, frankly.
Just depressing, dismal and apathetic.
Speakman out.
If Hurzeler hadn't gone to Brighton then I'd have thought he'd have been right at the top of their list.
I was there mate. It was a terrible game, and only after going 2-0 down did he put Marriott and Waghorn on. They scared the life out of Villa after that. He should have had at least one on from the start and how he didnt make a change at half time I will never know. It was like that throughout the season, chances missed.
I'm not saying there is. I'm saying my gut feeling is that it's not the right appointment.
