Or 'he was on our wanted list from the start, were refused permission to talk to him but he's put pressure on QPR and has been interviewed'. The club may have been as good as they could've all through this process. We don't actually know yet.
There must be loads of good fits for head coach with the way we run things. If you're taking the majority (or all) of the recruitment out of the equation you're left with being a good motivator/inspirational, tactical nouse, coaching and man and game management. Must be loads who fit that bill. For me personally, thats why I'd rather it wasn't Hecky, he doesn't immediately strike me as someone who would inspire you. That said, and to contradict myself within a few words, you wouldn't look at a Mowbray interview and assume he would fit the bill either, but the players seemed to absolutely love him and gave everything. In summary, it seems the true measure of a good head coach goes beyond first impressions, which is hard to deal with as a fan in this moment assessing possible candidates we don't really know that much about, particularly after Beale, but I'm gonna give the club the benefit of the doubt on this one and gather my thoughts after 20 games with whoever ends up getting the job.

The Hummel deal and the new manager may be all done in tandem. Nowt for months then all done in 1 press conference. Welcome Hummel and Michael Laudrup.
You are going have to enlighten me mate. I am often naieve, and no problem with being called it. But are you confident Mowbray asked Bernie to stick the boot in?
I've missed this part as well. Bob said we're in for a good few months not sure where people have got tomorrow from.
Yeah I thought the same. Rooney does mention stuff that has been rumoured on here and elsewhere. I take stuff like that with a massive pinch of salt like, you're only ever going to get an unbiased, one sided version
Then I am naive... I am happy enough with my view of Mowbray being a very decent human being, who built an affiliation with us in his short time here. I struggle to see him teeing up a mate who has no relevance in the game and hasnt had for years to dig us out. I suspect he is a man who does his own dirty work. But my respect for coaches like Mowbray may well be blinding my opinion.
Which doesn’t say ‘announcement’ so maybe something will emerge but not be announced. (Or be totally different) Was it @Bob the Mackem who said he wanted Gus as DOF?
Wouldn’t class it as big news haha also if I was them I’d be delaying the reveal until we have a head coach because the marketing campaign will be full of **** comments
