Move Klose 303 Posted March 24, 2017 Now favourite with the bookies, from 25/1 to 3/1 favourite this morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted March 24, 2017 Its happening, the plan is coming together, i''m sure Greavsy will be Keane to welcome this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted March 24, 2017 While I often try to take bookies odds with a pinch of salt that kind of shift in odds can''t be ignored, clearly something to this. I remember a similar situation with Neil Adams, he was at about 25/1, suddenly overnight his odds shortened massively and he was appointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted March 24, 2017 Of the managers ''in a job'', would have been in my top 3 we could get (Monk, Jokanovic, Heckingbottom)Not sure we would get him now before the end of the season though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dibbler 0 Posted March 24, 2017 He''s on a rolling contract so maybe able to quit early.Fits Norwich well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goss Volley 0 Posted March 24, 2017 If it''s Heckingbottom I hope his current team''s defensive frailties are down to the squad and not his ability to organise them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewis DW 11 Posted March 24, 2017 Is this the same bookies that was certain of Pardew? with better odds than 3/1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crab man 164 Posted March 25, 2017 A lot of money on Heckingbottom in the last 48 hours. Way ahead in the running now... Have to say would be competely underwhelmed with this appointment. We need someone with experience, someone who can come in and ruffle a few feathers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldRobert 38 Posted March 25, 2017 Also underwhelmed if true. Probably cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unique 435 Posted March 25, 2017 This would be as big a gamble as the appointment of Alex Neil.Really not the time or the place for another inexperienced manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Len 74 Posted March 25, 2017 Eighteen months ago the world was our oyster. Now we''re headhunting the current Barnsley manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted March 25, 2017 Yeah, must admit, bit concerned as there''s a difference between a manager like Clarke who has done brilliantly at 3 clubs or so season after season, as opposed to Heckingbottom who''s had a fairly decent 18 months with 1 club. Don''t want to disrespect our former player, and if he comes in then he''ll get a warm welcome of course, but if we''re going to take a gamble then the sensible option would surely be the standout man?

Although because of the fan power he might get at least one season in the Prem next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DINGLE 0 Posted March 26, 2017 I honestly believe Heckingbottom will stay with us until Wednesday come calling, the way the bookies have slashed the odds on him would suggest they think or have heard he''ll not be moving, so I''d say this is a non starter.

king canary 7,603 Posted March 26, 2017 If Norwich want him they''ll get him. We''re a much more attractive proposition than Barnsley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DINGLE 0 Posted March 26, 2017 You''re not more attractive then Shitfield Wednesday though or Middlesbrough, Hull City, and other northern clubs, your fans and board are far too expectant for the resources at the managers disposal, and your city is in the arse end of nowhere, all be a very nice city, If he holds tight at the club he''s supported all his life, in the town where he was brought up and where he''s bringing up his four children, and he continues to prove himself to be a very good first team coach he''ll get offers far more attractive to him than Norwich City.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,748 Posted March 26, 2017 ...christ, surely we''re going to do better than Heckingbottom aren''t we??.....we''re going to go through all this rigmarole of appointing "Sporting" directors and such like just to appoint someone with less experience than Alex Neil? Whilst it would not surprise me one bit if this is the sort of manager we do appoint, this next move from the board is crucial. can we just please have a proper MANAGER here?!?...Grant,Adams,Gunn,Neil ,no more experiments , just a ready made, experienced manager...

king canary 7,603 Posted March 26, 2017 @DingleTwo of those three teams already have managers and I''ve not seen any mention of Heckingbottom and Middlesborough.You''re deluded if you don''t think he''d leave Barnsley for Norwich. He''s done a great job at a club on the up but who''ve been forced to sell their two best players in January to a Championship rival. Norwich is a step up for him.
