    Heckingbottom looking better than some of the options being posited lately.

    The club didn't make it public that they were chasing him, they haven't said anything on targets

    Lots of agents and agendas going on. I am sure Still will end up at Lens but a few open ended comments leave it slightly ajar. I still wonder if there is another twist or two yet.

    Right now I think Heckingbottom is getting more likely. Yes I get what fans will say...100 plus days and end up with Heckingbottom!
    I know as a collective most fans think we can get better...but it's very clear...we can't.
    I'd be ok with him.

    Honestly mate, I have seen him coach up front. Way better than people think. Did he really fail at Hull? Not according to fans. At Derby he was brilliant.

    I feel we have dodged a bullet with this Still, seems to me he could have been Alex Neil mark 2

    He's a bit boring, a 7 out of 10 if I've everf seen one, but..

    He played for us as a youth player (has a club connection).
    Is northern.
    Got Sheff Utd promoted, perhaps even a year earlier than they expected.

    No offence to anyone but I take everything people passing on rumours say, journalists included, with a massive pinch of salt, it's also usually clouded with personal opinions. So I didn't think Still was guaranteed to sign and I don't know who to hold responsible, I don't think anyone does.

    I didn't really want him anyway, not opposed to him either but I wasn't psyched about it. I'd be perfectly happy with someone else such as Rosenior who I believe would give us success.

    Possession football is my idea of how to play. All I have ever wanted to coach. Southampton showed what it can do. We have the players for it too.

    Would be disappointed with Heck or Rosenior but neither would be the disaster many will make out.

    I just hope the reaction to them isn’t the same as Beale as that will give our fanbase a terrible reputation.

    Rosenior would be ****e. Failed to get a better squad in the play-offs. Not good enough for Hull but good enough for SAFC? Aye, roll on the mid table consolidation.

    like I say I’d be disappointed but I don’t think he’d be as bad as you do. Just opinions

    He wouldn’t deliver what a club and fanbase like ours expects. Then again, a lot have lowered expectations and are happy to doddle along…

    It’s Friday night on the beers and I’m out, **** it.

    Although he wouldn’t be the most exciting appointment I think he’d be decent. Certainly better than Beale. If he hadn’t been sacked by Hull and we were rumoured to be poaching him I think a lot of opinions on him would be different.
