On to the next page of the pantomime. Who will it be? Who is out there? Could we take Daniel off the hands of Leeds - I wish but I doubt that he would come. The thought of Russell Martin and most of the early candidates mentioned leave me cold.
In hindsight (ain't that a wonderful thing?), we should never have sacked DF it really was a case of 'be careful what you wish for'. However having said that I don't think it would be a good idea to re-employ him, in all my years following football I can only think of one occasion where it has really worked and that was when Howard Kendall went back to Everton in the 80s. Remember when Mike Walker returned to us? What a disaster that was.
The hint last night or yesterday was we'd appoint somebody during the next week or so. So unless we've had a short-list and negotiations underway...that would leave those unemployed (now sacked) unless Atanassio is going to fund another compo deal... https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/trainer/verfuegbaretrainer/statistik/0/plus/0/galerie/0?land_id=alle&wettbewerb_id=GB2&seit=alle&punkteschnitt=0 - 3&filtern_nach_punkteschnitt=0;3&0=0&3=3&spielklasse=0&plus=0 - filtered by UK Championship experience; people like Still, Martin, O'Neil, Sheehan, Carrick etc... None of that lot inspire any sort of confidence. I'd be ok with Carrick though cant' see how we'd be appealing to him! I can honestly see them appointing someone out of work till the end of the season for a new 5 years plan starting 26/27. Ralph Hasenhüttl Chris Hughton ?
