To be frank - some of our supporters live in a fantasy land and I’m delighted this has brought them back down to earth.
Or to look at it another way, some of our supporters have got used to utter mediocrity - and their standards have dropped.

A jobbing lower league manager who’s been at (and failed at) mainly basket case clubs in recent years.
If he helps keep us up he’ll have more than done his job as this season is just about survival in every sense of the word. No idea how his teams play mind...

Jewell, Sheridan and Tommy Wright. What a trio.

An interesting way to look at it

Neither excited nor disappointed with John Sheridan being the new manager (which I assume is a certainty). Have to say again, far too many times in recent years, that I will be reserving judgement.

Or match reports detailing how STFC's defence has been overwhelmed
Christ I don't read the match reports, it's bad enough watching the matches without reading about it as well

Shall we at least give the guy ten games and then produce a probationary report?

Still no confirmation of Sheridan by the Club, either via Twitter or website. Presumably waiting for his latest month at Wigan to expire?
I am surprised at this - unless Hunt and /or Wright are off to Salford to join RW - only because I thought the lack of cash available would force LP to stick with Hunt, who (if we include Hull and the Boycott Trophy) has a 66% win ratio. I know some have said RW’s salary is available, but if LP is running out of cash it isn’t really. At least Hunt knows the players - Sheridan is going to have to work with the group we have, and unless he can shift some in January there won’t be any new blood then.
The thing to remember is that as with all STFC managers is that it will end in disappointment eventually - he will either be sacked if we do badly, or poached by a bigger or wealthier club if he does well. At least with the second of those, as we had with RW last season, there are some good times in between. My only hope if it’s Sheridan is that we continue to try to pass the ball rather than reverting to the Flitcroft style hoof ball.

His managerial record is actually better than I thought it would be. 37% win ratio over 675 games.

It’s actually a sensible appointment from Power. Last time he put the assistant manager in charge we got relegated to L2. Sheridan simply has to keep us in L1, anything more is a bonus. Probably won’t be here to long anyway as fully expect Power to lose his court case and the new owners will want their own man in place.
