Does anyone know what happened to the tweet they posted earlier entitled "A new name enters the betting"?

And then rapidly deleted it.

Should I lump my house on at skybet?

Fits the profile which usually gets the gig i.e. young, inexperienced as manager, very little success in the lower leagues, currently an assistant. Deary me :cry:

Assistant at a very decent Barnsley who are punching this season.
If they end up promoted though I can't see him swapping the premier league for a L2 job

Aye, but how much impact does any assistant have on a team's success? Rob Kelly was assistant under David Dunn and Michael Jolley - and we were absolute crap. Just think taking on an assistant as manager is a complete leap of faith i.e. gamble. Do we really want/need to take that gamble again?

Yep you are right in that. Although I've not seen any names linked who wouldnt be a gamble in some way.

Indeed. Every managerial appointment is a gamble to some extent as all managers have failures on their CV. I'd just like to see someone appointed who has had some decent level of success in L2 (play-offs) and maybe even the odd promotion to L1. For me an assistant can often gain a reputation on the coat-tails of the manager. I'd rather see someone coming to HS who has lead a team to success - even if they've then had some down seasons (as all managers do).

Neil Ardley fits that criteria IMO. Did well with Wimbledon established them in league 2 got them promoted to league one in the play offs
