What???

He was rapid and was recorded as the fastest player in the squad in Alex Neil's day, when we had Barkhuizen, Pearson, Fisher, etc, who could all shift.

This post is the most bollocks you've ever posted and the competition is strong. Very strong.

Ben Davies would walk into this 11. He's exactly what we need.

Fastest player in the league iirc

Would be worth asking the club to provide SMART targets for it's stated Premier League ambitions. Make them accountable and see if there is what the plan is so we can all buy in to it.
  • Specific
  • Measurable

Feck me Bobbage, you’ve just taken me back in time to my work days over 20 odd years ago!🤣 Are you a consultant?😂🤣
 
Riddler back on the Jim White and Simon Jordan show this morning.

I presume he won't make the announcement but will say the next manager is imminent.

Difficult to get excited about Heckingbottom. Essentially a journeyman football playing career and it seems the managerial career is heading in the same direction already.
This strengthens my perception of PNE as a career halfway house cum gravy train for hasbeens and never-were footballers.

Writing off any manager because they weren't a big name player is a bit odd to me.

He was managing in the prem league exactly a year ago against Man. City so again harsh. This isn't a Steve Bruce at West Brom behind the times and just waiting to be paid off.

She's buying the cups of teas. Calm down, it's just the first time we seen her purse in 15 years.

Heckingbottom will need to work miracles with the squad he has, if they don’t find sufficient funds or move a couple out I find it hard to get excited by a change of manager.
The defence needs an overhaul, Whiteman is a worry for me as captain, the lack of balance in the squad and our serious lack of genuine firepower. I think we need to go easy on him.

We realky will need to be patient with the new manager (but we have plenty of practice at being patient).

A lot of people are saying Heckingbottom got a poor Sheff Utd side promoted, but they had much better players than we do.

We all want the best, but can't be unrealistic.

Edited for accuracy

Some of the best managers in the world were no-marks in their playing career

We can be ambitious, but there has to be some realism with what the Hemmings can do and put into the transfer budget. Which of the 7,8,9 teams with parachute payments should we be finishing ahead of?

For us to get promoted a lot needs to go right, including a lot of luck.

Talk of “letting them know” or “protests” is embarrassing imo. We were 4 places off the playoffs last year, we are now all in agreement we have a better manager and there has been an increase in spending over the last season or two.

On the one hand they get criticism for saying we are ambitious but then equal criticism when they say our first objective is 50 points every season.

Better cup runs for a start. Coventry don't have any parachutes given they haven't played in the prem since 2001 but playing Man. United in SF infront of 85k would've helped their summer budget no end.

Boro were also in the league cup SF last season, these are peers at this level.

Cov also signed Gyokeres and Hamer for a couple of million and sold them for vast amounts. I presume they were both given four year deals to maximise value.

You look at Mads constantly getting dropped by the previous manager whenever he had an indifferent game. Hopefully Hecky can put his arm round him and get him playing like N'Diaye as there were glimpses of his talent. He plays well and he should be a 5m player comfortably.

Finally show ambition from a position of strength. The defence was good in Alex Neil's time. The midfield excellent and top 6 standard. The attack bottom half so that was the area to improve and it simply wasn't even when Hugill and Robbo accumulated 20m between them. How much of that was genuinely re-invested into the playing squad in that period?

Coventry sell Gyokeres for 20m and spend most of that on Hadji Wright and Ellis Simms so that to me is a club serious about becoming premier league in the near future.

Not one who spends summers wasting time trying to get in Archer and Tom Cannon and when those deals fall through don't then bother to sign anyone else.
