    It won't be Hopkin, or Heckingbottom.

    Can't see the hang up people have about his playing spell here. He got injured very early into the season with an injury that ultimately lead to his retirement 2 years and less than 40 games later. By the time he came back from that the club had changed and the manager had started a mass cull of expensive players.

    Before his injury we looked a decent team with a great performance (albeit in defeat) at Anfield, and that win over Chelsea and a decent draw at home to Leicester. A combination of that 6/0 mauling at Old Trafford and his injury then killed our season.

    If anything, he should be the one who has bad feelings towards how his spell here virtually killed his career at it's peak rather than fans having bitter feelings about how little value he added due to a career limiting injury.

    Hope he hasn't done that on the back of getting the City job;, he might have a shock when he finds out whats involved :).

    It's now 24 days since Grayson left.

    I wonder what the League record is for the longest time without a manager.
