    Although a few German coaches with connections to Stuttgart are listed in the odds since that interview with John Helm, you can still nevertheless get good odds for them, so probably nothing in what John Helm said, other than a hunch

    Grant McCann is now odds on to be our next head coach. That normally means it will be him !

    Sacked after seven games without a win and with a win rate of 39% at Peterbrough he is 6% lower that McCall who had a win rate of 45%. Thats like getting rid of the BMW to get a Skoda.

    Different teams, much like parky had shit stats for his time at Hull. Previous win rates mean feck all, it's all about the man matching the club

    They lost 2 out of the last 12 games so if they hadn't won in 7 and 2 of them 7 were loses 5 were draws but if it's stated in the last 12 games I would presume only 1 loss in them 7 games meaning 6 draws in 7 so not as bad as it sounds.

    If it is him I just can’t understand why the delay he has been available for months. I am not convinced it is him

    Indeed. The underlying facts often tell a fuller story than the headline news don't they?

    Maybe McCann is away on holiday, and it's just a case of dotting i's and crossing t's on tne contract and a press conference on his return? Perhap that's why the T&A were confident that a manager would not be confirmed this week?

    Yer, I tend to agree. It seems like we're still speaking to others.

    Could be other managers who have just lost in the playoffs maybe who they've just been able to speak to.

    Still go with my wish for an up and coming British manager for us to get behind.

    Who's Sam Collins at 12/1 on that betting list?

    Sorry mate that's bollocks.

    We're in 2018. You can break holidays go back to the UK (or wherever) and then go back on holiday. What's a £500-£1500 between friends and getting business done.

    If he can't or isn't willing to do that then fu&k him.

    Well whoever we get you'll want him sacking as well as most of the administrative staff within a month.

    Funny.

    Well, i could have read Google and expressed an opinion but that would have been wrong as I've never seen him at the side of the pitch, managing, directing......:rolleyes:

    McCann would neither here or there as an appointment. Not the best and not the worst either. I'm not sure i even care anymore, i just want someone in so we can get on with building for next season.
