Wow! I like that!

Looks like big Mick knows how to handle players.

Great work

MBWB..
i said as much on the other management post.. the players need to do the work.. you can come up with all sorts of mullarkey as a manager but without being able to change the team very much you are probably not going to get a massive difference, for very long ,unless the players change their attitudes etc..

Cheers, I started it last week but then have been ill and came back to it to distract myself from daytime TV. The thing that amazed me was how little has changed.

It shows that Shaun Dyche is a quality manager and has turned Burnley around. As you say Mick has done wonders at Ipswich and with the momentum they have now I doubt they will go down.

The trouble is apart from those two no other managers have done anything here to write home about. It does make you wonder how much impact managers have with the modern footballer.

So why pay a manager so much 38???? If they are merely there to jump up and down and shout to no effect we might aswell just get the local drunks in that role and it will be more entertaining

5 P-45's from me MB.

I've just written a reply....& it's vanished ?
Very early morning here, Typing in the dark NOT recommended.

Stick with Lillis, I said that very early on.
A new bloke will want to clear out dead wood = $
He will also want to bring in his own choices = more $
Clearly, 'Oil' isn't going darn that path again.

Lillis will have to do what he can with what's available, (Just like a 'new' bloke would have to)
He's shown in his 1st two fixtures he was prepared to make changes, & they preformed better too, to some degree.
He will be the best option knowing all about the 'cliques' within the squad, Who the slackers are in training, Which combinations work best together..more importantly, Those that DON'T !!

There's no time left for a 'new' bloke anyway.
We are stuck with what we've got.

The aspect that grates me,
Grayson was sacked, Yet clearly there was no plan, or anyone lined up to take his place ? This is baffling to me from a so called professional club, Because it's not like this situation was out of the ....
The football was shocking.
Had been for some time.
Grayson should have been given the boot long before it happened. But surely.
A new man should have been well & truly sorted out ....

This club under 'Oil' ain't all that,
And anyone who thinks otherwise is Kidding no one but themselves.

I for one, am very disappointed at the way this latest saga in the history of Hudders FC is turning out.

Lillis to the end of the season.
What will be, will be.

Darn, I havent deleted any post, not sure what has happened there.

I think you are right that its getting too late this season for anything meaningful and I reckon Dean will come to regret the timing.

I assumed it was done on the Thursday as he had his man in the wings. Otherwise it makes no sense why it didnt happen the day after. You lose time for the next game, lose time on the next appointment and lose time to get new players in. I suspect Dean has had a moment of doubt, hesitated and then done what he thinks is right, but might be very nervous right now.

dunt matter who takes over were down,barnsley on a roll and the only option we have got is more ferkin loans

Looking back, what's Hoyle gained by sacking Clark because lets face it, without a sheer bucket load of luck at Wembley, Grayson would not have got us through the penalty shoot out. And for what it's worth, Clark picked up 26 points from his last 16 matches in charge, where as Grayson only managed 25 from his first 16 games.

If Clark and his team had stayed put then who is to say that we wouldn't have been in a better position than we currently are?

Anyhow, it looks like it's going to be Graeme Jones or Megson, particularly with fans favourite Adkins showing little interest to date.

i would welcome wor lee back right now...he had all the attributes,made us a fortune in the transfer market which is what hoyle is apparently after,and had it gone differently at ot we would surely be in a better position now!
ok he signed a few duds ie robinson and gobern but overall did a fine job

the only others similar to lee is robins and karl robinson

the thing that should scare dean is that there is little or no interest in the media about the appointment???

thats about how far our stock has fallen .....

At the same time 38, Blackpool's has as well. I forgot about them needing a manager until Billy Davies turned them down yesterday.

I was thinking yesterday, would we be a be a more attractive proposition if we were battling for automatic promotion from league one?

Probably........... yes, the media would be more interested and a new manager could potentially have a promotion on his cv.

We are now a small fish in a big pond (sorry for using clichés) but we are. No one gives a flying f eck about "Huddersfield Town."

Average at best, championship side, that could seriously go down.
