    Will probably just send him back to Strasbourg 
    And bring in Gary O’Neill.

    Crawley sack Scott Lindsay. No win in 10 despite heavy January investment and currently are 1 point off relegation.

    A massive punt that. Someone who's never managed before, and has little knowledge of L2 either.

    That maybe the case but if he keeps them up at least they can turn around and say:

    "Thanks Colin"

    Liam Manning taking the rest of the season as compassionate leave away from Huddersfield
    Only took over in January, but given how Norwich turned out, you have to wonder how much 2024 is still effecting the poor guy

    Honestly I like how Huddersfield have handled the situation, sometimes you have to say football really doesn't matter and this is one of them. That's a good statement from the club too.

    tbf once we are (mathematically) safe he'll be getting some championship minutes, so him coming back might work out for him.

    He really won't he's just not good enough. Fullah and Gough are the future.

    So basically he'll just bang in the goals for the reserves.

    Coaching in academy football is all about developing players for the future. I'm not sure it's a great grounding for trying to urgently win L2 matches though, when there are just 7 games to go and you're just 1 point above the dotted line.

    They tried the same thing 2 seasons ago with Kevin Betsy and it was a complete and utter disaster. Won one of 12.

    Class from Huddersfield. 

    I hope the local journos at Norwich are happy with themselves after the torrid time they gave Liam for months with his struggles they had in the early part of the season!

    Difference being Kevin Betsy managed england youth set up and the Under 23s for Arsenal (so would of had the tin pot trophy experience).

    I would compare this more to Jack Wilshere at Luton (in terms of coaching experience).

    But your right though, but you have to consider this is the club that gave Mark Wright a kick about.

    Wilshire is probably the better comparison actually! Hadn't thought of that one. 

    Just seems like such a risk to take when it feels like if they go down they won't be back in the EFL for a while.

    If you're going to bring in a rookie, who's potentially a great coach, but has no managerial experience, then the summer is a sensible time to do it, as it gives him pre season to build a squad suited to his style and implement his "progressive" coaching ideas. And if he's out of his depth, you have time to rescue things with a new appointment.

    With SEVEN games to go, you can't drastically change the style of football, so really you need an experienced motivator to improve confidence and team spirit, and make the players work harder.

    Perhaps some of the people on here should bear that in mind when berating managers and players.

    Amen to that

    a couple pf years ago Karoy and TC had large personal situations that the club sorted as best they could but the fans don't get to hear about that, and rightly so.  But you really do never know what's going on behind the scenes.

    Manning at Huddersfield is another example

    People and the press can be so cruel sometimes just for some engagement and its awful

    Absolutely these young managers need to be summer appointments, gives them time to bed in and not having to hit the ground running needing immediate results like Crawley do. This should have been an experienced EFL head that knows how to keep sides up. 

    Wouldn't be surprised that even with their 13 new signings if this doesn't work out.

    Had to check the date...

    Breaking: #BristolCity have sacked Gerhard Struber and are appointing former England manager Roy Hodgson for the final seven games of the season. Hodgson has been out of management since leaving Crystal Palace in Feb 2024. More to follow @TeleFootball

    It’s a little more nuanced than this. But Bristol City have appointed a manager they sacked 44 years ago, after he oversaw a run of 3 wins in 21 games.

    Hodgson is 78 and had some sort of heart scare when he was last sacked as a manager.

    Give it up mate.
