    Keeping Huddersfield up with the squad they had wasn't an achievement, it was a failure that they weren't at least halfway in the table.

    Nixon says we're offering the job to Holden.

    Can't say that does anything for me whatsoever. But I think I'm past believing any change other that at an ownership level will make the blindest bit of difference

    Wouldn't be against it. Very harshly sacked. Apparently it's because they haven't been getting the rub of the green!!

    I think we just have to get someone in and frankly none of the touted ones are 100% perfect or 100% imperfect.

    Take Paul Hurst for instance. He did a very good job with Grimsby on a limited budget and I think knows this league well enough to get a tune out of our players. Don't forget that Richie Wellens was sacked from his two previous jobs, before joining Orient.

    There is still plenty of the season left to turn it around and I think the squad is good enough as shown by the Swindon and Wrexham performances.

    Whoever is selected shouldn't be given more than 18 months as a contract.

    To be honest I can't think of a manager that does. For instance, unconvinced that just because Eustace was great for The Championship, it means he can relate to L2 players, although his spell with Kidderminster was impressive.

    I think if McCall was offered the job IMO the money side of the deal would be low down on his list of priorities.

    How would he know that. I suspect Sparks himself doesn't know yet.

    You can still get 2/1 :for him if anyone believes this

    It surely hasn't taken three and a half weeks to end up appointing Holden.
