Just because a new manager comes in it doesn't mean he'll clear out all the coaching staff, they need people there that knows the club and playing staff, bully fits in with that. Not sure I'm keen on him being manager though. At the moment he's highly regarded by the fans and I wouldn't want the ruining with a bad spell as manager Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If he is hired as the actual manager that will change big time. He will be held accountanble for every little thing that goes wrong, not only by his boss but also the fans and the media. He will need skin like an alligator.  Edited July 22, 2019 by Ontarian1981 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I really have no idea why the role of an employee at SWFC would cause you so much concern, Lee Bullen was only ever an average player but he was a workhouse that gave everything on the pitch and played in every position as a player, he still followed the Owls even after a brief spell in Scotland and still regularly attended games, he moved back to Sheffield and has since filled various coaching roles from the academy upwards, he's a great guy who loves the club and always has time to stop and have a chat if you see him around, your posts/obsession about him are getting a bit embarrassing.

Mr Bloke   1,445 #142 Posted July 23, 2019 Hmmm... ... the Flying Dutchman?  As in, the legendary ghost ship that can never make port and is doomed to sail the oceans forever?  Sounds like he'd be the perfect choice to become the next manager...
