    Wonder what the delay is. Are they waiting for Rupp to come back. Or maybe the preferred candidate is away on holiday

    Rupp doest give a feck.

    Maybe, they're waiting for the play offs to finish then give it large about next season.

    I think Barker went from youth team coach to manager

    I'd prefer him to Warburton

    I'd like to ask what people think Warburton has done, apart from take over a Brentford team who were arguably the best in the division and get it promoted. Comes across as a bit of a 'know it all' to me.

    Interesting that as soon as it went slightly paired shape, both his last two clubs got rid immediately, suggesting an abrasive style.

    McCann, would be dying to prove Posh wrong, knows the division and wasn't that bad

    What does it matter who the manager is? Come on tbh it doesn’t matter who it is, at best treading water in this league, or a relegation battle. Unfortunately we didn’t bag a billionaire, just a couple of guys who fancied investing in our club. Not sure how money can be made though. Presumably they are going to try to keep us entertained with exciting football. Umph not a chance, no point if we keep losing 5-6.

    We are nothing like the udders, they did bag a town fan who happened to be a billionaire. We could fill our stadium every week and still not have enough cash to keep pumping in millions. Yes I know we could fluke it, like Millwall did, but the chances are pretty slim tbh.

    I am so disappointed, I was taken in by our new owners. Yes I know this is negative and we are supposed to get behind the club, but it is how I feel. Our best chance of getting out of this league was last year, second best chance was this year. Now we are here for the duration if we are lucky. Even if we fluke it, we cannot sustain ourselves in the Championship.

    I said a couple of seasons ago, if we don’t get out of this league our chances of promotion get slimmer as each season goes by. As the parachute payments make almost impossible for us to compete.

    The trouble with him though is he is basically a one club man player and manager

    If Shrewsbury win they’ll think they can do it on a low budget

    I would prefer Shrewsbury win because Rotherham are our rivals but ... really it will give Edin fuel to think we can make the play offs on the same budget

    Don't disagree, but Huddersfield didn't bag a billionaire. he's worth about 2 or 3 times what Rupp is worth. (Depending on which sources you use).

    Yeah and Huddersfield manager is a big fan

    Rupp just thinks we can get into the championship and get a few games on sky and he can make a few quid

    You ask what Warburton has done?
    Two promotions.

    But you prefer McCann......who has done absolutely nothing. 'He wasn't that bad' sums it up.

    Where's the logic?

    He has had failures as well . We either go for the extra experience or someone who has the ability to take the first or second step
    I just wish they would get on with it so the message board can divide up into crap or decent appointment

    Personally I have no preference.

    Given the average career of a lower league manager, how many have three or more promotions?

    Another point, at some time, someone who has not been a manager before, makes the first step. They have to start the process. How many ‘rookie’ managers achieve promotion with their first appointment?
