I'm not sure about JFH. On one hand the sort of personality that will put the fear of god into some of our poorly performing players. He's the sort of guy who won't accept fools lightly. On the other hand not sure he has the temperament or experience to cope with a club in our position.

If he could teach them to take throw-ins and set pieces he'd be halfway there.
And also ask them what their best position was before picking the team.

Fair enough, I asked Turner on twitter whether Ricketts was staying on and he said he was leaving.

Tend to agree. I think he's a little too flash. I'd rather have Cotterill or someone similar. Still, it would have been nice to have someone rather than Venus in the dugout.

I don't think he's the kind of manager who would stick around. And flash by wanting a bigger budget than we would ever hope to offer him. We need a manager who is used to working under financial constraints.

I've no idea. Some managers seem to be more ready to accept a challenge than others.

Once again he's not the man, we don't need another 'name' manager. He was lucky to inherit solid foundations from Clough and Rowett at Burton. We're in the position where foundations haven't been laid. I don't think he's the man to do it.

We need the club to run properly first.
JHF seems to have quickly ascertained what a short stint at Coventry may do to his career.

He did pretty well with Burton without being 'flash' and spending loads of money.

True. I just think being at QPR has "spoiled" him a little. I would think he'll only manage at a certain level now.

Im genuinely struggling to come up with a list of out of work managers who would want the job, that would be of a capable standard to get us out of this mess with the budget we have. Would be interested to hear any suggestions.

He inherited a squad already on the up, he only signed 4 players in his first season, only 1 still players for Burton....in their reserves.

The work was done by Rowatt and Clough.

He then went to QPR and spent a few million on 4 players and got sacked in the end.

Would this of been the right man for CCFC? No.

such BS, he finished job off in league 2 and got them promoted

he then took them top of championship straight away 20 games in

rowett and clough deserve praise no doubt but dont take away anything from jimmy

and also ridiculous to say he is now a spoilt manager torch. big assumption to make.

Glad he has said no. Anyone could come in and aside from a potential new manager bounce would end up getting the same results. Yes we need a new manager, however we need new owners or a new attitude, and new strategy from the current lot. It also needs new investment, we need the club to be settled at the stadium, we need the club to own it as training ground, they can keep on chipping away at the foundations of the club and expect to stumble lucky on a manager.

You would either need to be like TM and an established name that won't really be damaged by being here so can use us as a route back in or someone from much lower down. Doubt many L2 managers would be interested. Or we overpay someone who's failed elsewhere and can't get a job.

Rowett and Clough didn't take tiny Burton to the top of the Division 1, give the guy some dues!!!

JFH is a good manager but the set up (or lack of) here would not suit him, mind you who would it suit?

If I was a manager with any kind of ambition I would give Cov ( under sisu) a very wide berth.

Can anyone blame JFH for turning it down?

The budget would probably have been the least important issue in talks, the future and uncertainty around the academy and stadium would be much more of a major stumbling block in attracting a new manager than the budget.

Why? He didn't spend loads at QPR, myth in this thread by those who didn't want him.

Anyway according to your sources we have had Steve Evans as manager since October and Adam Armstrong is soon to be celebrating a full year at Wolves.

Maybe he spoke to Mowbray. Found out we have the worst owners in the football league and decided to give us a swerve.

Merely delays things and maybe strengthens the resolve of the owners. We have got to stop lurching from short term plan to the next short term plan.

I would suggest JFH has just unwittingly played a cameo role in TF radio appearance on Friday.

I can hear TF now "We are actively trying to recruit a tried and tested successful manager at this level and above, as can be seen worth our approach to JFH"

If JFH had said he would come TF would have sh1t himself, "err no JFH it was only an approach, you see I have a radio appearance on Friday, and the fans will shout at me if I don't tell them something"

Next please

So you don't think TF would have loved to have come on and said

"The appointment of JFH shows our owner's committment to the future of CCFC"
