Jimmy Jimmy, oh on 13:26 - Nov 27 by Gloucs_R | I would bet with you TF and co have never heard of him! Not saying he would be my choice anyway. |
Ha, I was going to post the same! I can imagine the meeting: Hoos: recommended Robinson but the owners blinked a couple of times, looked at each other blankly, then said "Yeah... what about that ex-Premiership guy we used to watch on MOTD that you mentioned?" Mind you, without having a strong opinion on any of the names been mentioned, JFH has a certain gravitas and air of authority that I can imagine buying him a bit of time with some of the more trigger-happy sections of the support, so for that reason alone could be a decent shout. | | | |

I would imagine Robinson wouldn't risk coming to our club after witnessing the abuse Ramsey got for making a substitution (let's not rerun the debate about it) and then feeling it necessary to sympathise with him! | | | |
Jimmy Jimmy, oh on 15:45 - Nov 27 with 3834 views | pomanjou | Is there a compelling reason to get JFH? No. A case of the board believing they need to be seen to be doing something. Do the easy thing. Warnock will take it for six months and is probably as safe a pair of hands as any. In the meantime spread the net wide......... | |

It's earlier in the thread mate, a page or two back. I'll stick it on the front page if he gets it. | | | |

"Is there a compelling reason to get JFH? No. " Anything beyond your subjective opinion to back that up? I've never been an avid watcher of Royal Antwerp or Burton Albion myself, but if the board decide JFH is the best manager for the job why wait 6 months? | | | |

How many different sets of fans did you interview? Any Wolves fans?...you know just in case.. | |

Well .....we're slipping down the league and have stopped scoring - two pretty compelling reasons you would think! | | | |

I'll dig somebody out whoever gets it, but my Burton mate is going away for a fortnight from Monday so I did that one in advance! | | | |

Jimmy Jimmy, oh on 13:21 - Nov 27 by Jamie | I would imagine they'd have looked at the 5 seasons it took him to get promoted with the biggest budget in the division. |
and the fact they were by some distance one of the worse teams to play at LR for many years. | | | |

Actually MK Dons last set of accounts showed their playing budget had been cut by £800,000 to £4m in total, so he achieved that promotion spending £4m on his entire squad, and cutting £800,000 from his previous budget. Haven't got the figures to hand but I can't believe there aren't clubs - Sheff Utd chief amongst them - paying more than that. | | | |

Plenty of reasons to get him, he might work out well he might not. I'd rather we go with a full time manager rather than another short term stop gap who the players know won't be around long and quickly lose interest again | | | |

Agree, that rarely works well. Rowett has committed to Birmingham this afternoon BTW, so only a full on Fabian Delph will bring him here or Fulham. | | | |

Regarding spreading of the net. Dave Mc, who I acknowledge is not the biggest fan of the current regime, said this about Jim Bob:
Which is in stark contrast to Lesley's comments the other day about batting off applications from all over Europe and the further edges of the cosmos. Edit: Once you've deciphered the triple negative - I think he's saying the club haven't cast their net all that far [Post edited 27 Nov 2015 18:31]

I thought my cringeometer detected something. Must have been the moment Tony asked JFH to be Twitter buddies in Starbucks over a pumpkin latte. | | | |
