    Sorry, disagree.

    Happen to think we are screwed whatever happens.

    However I'd rather go down with a bit of enthusiasm in me (hignett) than pessimism (flicker). And someone like higgy will probably sway me into another ST.

    Relegated and flicker in charge ST is most likely gunna be binned

    Remember Flicker is not managing us on his own at the minute. First thing he did was call Micky Melon. Melon has more experience than Flicker. Flicker is Keith Hill mark 2. Therefore any argument against Higgy based on lack of experience just doesn't stack up. Flicker is in the same boat as Higgy in that respect. So therefore look at their CV's. The level they played the game. The contacts they have in football. No comparison! I know who I would have out of the two.

    I agree entirely with your first sentence - I just can't fathom the current Hignett (sorry Higgy) love in..!!

    Not a love in, just reasoned arguments as a realistic option I'd say. If they go down the ex-player route.

    That's an absurd argument. Flitcroft has been an assistant manager for 6 years in L2, L1 and Championship. He's been offered jobs but turned em down. Hignett's done a bit of coaching and commentating. Has he ever been involved on a match day as a coach? Doubt it.

    Flitcroft is the most experienced of the two (and I bet he's better connected too)

    I agree with Dyson's sentiments on Hignett.


    For me,and it pains me to say this,but i would give the job to Megson.

    I wouldn't be against him but don't understand the clamour on ere.

    Hignett, Redfearn, Moore. I'm sure a combination of the 3 could do the job.
