Good or bad news for our chances next year?

Terry Gibson's perm · May 25, 2015

Glad we got Mowbray sorted before this happened, we should be thanking the Sheff Utd board for messing around with this decision

I will let you know when we know who they replace him with. If they replace him with SP I would laugh my bollocks off. That would be good news.

Another crazy decision. OK they didn't go up, but compared to where they were when he took over, he's turned them around completely.

What's the odds Allardyce ends up there.....

Maybe they are like SISU and don't want to get promoted

Not even on the radar yet

Paul Cook would be quite an achievement, given he's just rocked up at Portsmouth.

No chance Big Sam will go to Sheffield United.

Seems harsh, would have given him another season myself. Wonder if they already have someone lined up? Can't see why they'd get rid of him if they didn't.

junglej13 · May 25, 2015

Nigel Adkins seems the obvious choice I think.

I would think it will be Adkins as it is a good club if you can get it moving.

sw88 · May 25, 2015

I hope they end up with Darren Ferguson

skybluedan · May 25, 2015

I hope they end up with hockaday

coop · May 25, 2015

Warburton I think will go there

I bet if they do he'll suddenly become the Scottish Mourinho.

QPR anyone?

SlowerThanPlatt · May 25, 2015

Parkinson from Bradford the clear favourite. Would be interesting

shy_tall_knight · May 25, 2015

Schteve McLaren gone also both Nigel and him had links with Forest & Derby

covboy1987 · May 25, 2015

Nigel Clough had a win ratio of 57% in his 18 months at Sheffield utd one or the highest of all managers in there history and they get rid of him - the game has gone mad

skybluefred · May 25, 2015

Don't think much of your "selfie" lol

stevefloyd · May 25, 2015

Ohh how we dream of 57% win ratio

derbyskyblue · May 26, 2015

The word from my derby mates is clough is nailed on to take over at pride park.

rupert_bear · May 26, 2015

Makes our appointment of Tony Mowbray even more vital and maybe a bit surprising both these sackings hardly a surprise to me and TM not being tempted to hang about for a bit longer before plumping to stay here says a lot to me.

Macca · May 26, 2015

I can't see Sheff Utd being of any consequence to us bar the 6 points on offer

Astute · May 26, 2015

A 57% win rate sounds good to us as we don't know what it is like. But if he had money to spend in a poor division it means only winning just over half of their games.

ONLY winning just over half of their games lol
How many clubs dream of a 57% win ratio???

PUSB

Astute · May 26, 2015

Money to spend in our division would make 57% easy for a decent manager.

Only two clubs managed it in a whole season - 63% Bristol and 58% MK Dons

is he living in 2009 ?

LJC_CCFC · May 26, 2015

One of of the biggest playing budgets in the League, a dire league may I add. The board wants promotion not romantic little cup runs which ultimately end in nothing. Clough has underachieved given the money spent and the players available to him. Did the same at Derby, then McClaren comes in mid-season and takes the same team to a Play-Off final. Far too defensive and cautious a coach for me. United fans not surprised either.

How much money did he spend, didn't they sell Maguire for over 2 million. I cant remember he spending anywhere near that. Might be wrong though

Well you're looking at a high wage budget for starters, then anywhere between £1.5 and £2 million for John Brayford - who is a right back - then they payed fees for Higdon, McNulty, McGahey, Done, Coutts and Adams. In comparison to MK and Preston its a huge difference.

ccfcway · May 26, 2015

ah forgot about Bayford

Grendel · May 26, 2015

Surprised really especially having shown sense and ambition by purchasing Higdon.
