right this might have been mentioned already on the forum but i got told last night that when Watkins said it was down to 2 canidates those two are Richard Money & Dave Hockaday which i think is already common knowledge.
Money was they man they wanted and had everything in place to appoint him a few days ago until Newcastle wanted a six figure sum compensation, the last few days have been trying to sort out a deal with Newcastle to get the amount lowered, if unsuccesful then Hockaday will be appointed.

Lovely use of the sherlock thingy Reg.

Lets hope they sort things with Newcastle as I will be underwhelmed by Hockaday

Hockaday will be a risk but hes done well at what hes done so far, cirencester academy and watford southampton etc

I heard one step further than Hockaday had been offered the job.

Clearly not.

All pretty much youth based though, Byrne's proven what a difference there is between youth and first team football. Add in that to the majority of our 20 something supporters and below he would be a complete unknown I think he would be a risk too far

wasnt he first team coach at watford when they got promoted??

Yes, I also heard he pushed a few players our way in the past.

A certain winger from Watford and a striker from Southampton we had on trail but never signed, no one has ever mentioned him since go.

but i agree like u say about Byrne, it will be class if we can keep Byrne on but as reserve team manager, hes great bringing through the kids and to give them plenty of reserve games then be pushing them through to the 1st team cos we have 3 or 4 kids coming through who could make the grade here

Boothyroyd had to sack him the season after because some of the players were complaining about his style of play.

Probably but my point remains to a large chunk of our fanbase he would be an unknown and a big let down. I just think another unknown quantity is a risk too far.
