So disappointed. Makes the sacking of JD even more of a mockery. What was the point. | | | |

Just when you think there isn't a cheaper option...someone goes and finds one!
Haven't the last few internal promotions all been sacked? Whereas the managers we've found externally have left of their own accord? |  |

A appointment almost in name only , like the last one , from within and no first team experience.
No really a surprise has last year the chairman stated that no one would take the first team job and disrupt the infrastructure of the club and would have to take on the philosophy of the current academy . Tony Humes fits all the criteria.
Excellent day to do your dirty washing has its transfer deadline day . | |

I don't know anything about the guy but if he gives some of academy players a decent run in the team he will have my full support.
This appointment is still not as daft as happened at Leeds so we will all just have to get used to it. |  | | |

Ipswich central defender. So he'll be on to ITFC if he does well. Love the notion of long term stability here. |  |

Something was bound to change. 2 seasons of skin-of-the-teeth survival followed by a dismal start. Not sure I blame JD, trying to live within our means equals a wafer thin squad. I really thought we looked like bottom three material, few loans required now. |  | | |

Clever move to appoint him less than five hours to the end of the transfer period! | | | |

Mr Cowling's prioritisation of the academy is well known, what happens to the running of that now that it's head has been promoted ?
If Tony Humes isn't successful as 1st team manager we risk losing his expertise from the club altogether.
Surely it would have been better not to disturb what is currently the most successful aspect of the club?
Unless Joe chose to go or there are other factors that we are not aware of , perhaps relating to Craig Eastmond ( my speculation), then this move makes no sense.
If Joe had to go I would have preferred a manager with a record of lower league success who plays good football such as O'Driscoll.
Having said that , I think now is the time to get fully behind Humes and the team. | | | |

For the last 10 years everything that has happened at Leeds has been daft, Hockaday's appointment being the most recent example. Colchester Utd is supremely well run by comparison. | |

Have been speaking to a work colleague, who is an ardent Wrexham supporter.
Tony Humes fondly remembered at the Racecourse and he waxed lyrical about the towering Centre Half's bullet header against ITFC in the FA Cup.
Have a positive feeling about TH.
