Assuming Town manage to get Sheridan...
It strikes me as nothing more than an 'end of the season' rolling contract kind of appointment. Proper jobs for the boys stuff (not rare in football recruitment) as Sheridan was Wellens' mentor and has worked many times with Tommy Wright.
This, to me, feels like a 'death rattle' appointment by a regime who are not looking to be here for the long-term and I know we already knew that Power is looking for an out but this kind of appointment really feels like the end.
Hopefully that'll mean any new buyer would be enticed by the fact that they'll be able to bring their own staff in (I appreciate that this is only a small percentage of why a consortium takes over a football club).
Spot on. |

Anyone know how we could prise him away from Wigan unless he has a get out clause?

Just don’t fancy another dour-faced, miserable twat as manager. Cooper, Flitcroft, even Wellens wasn’t exactly a barrel of laughs.
Sol hasn’t had a chance at either Macclesfield or Sarfend
Agree with what you say about Campbell, don't think he did have much of a chance, which makes him something of an unknown, hence riskier. As for Sheridan being dour faced, so what? He's being employed as a manager on a short-term basis to keep the team in L1, not a childrens' party entertainer. FWIW, personally I'd quite like Hunt to be given a bit longer and turn out to be a rising star (which may of course, not be very realistic) |

I think it was Nixon (possibly not) that said that Sheridan is on a month to month expenses only contract with Wigan, so there would be no issue with compensation. |

Probably spot on, but, on this basis why not stick with Hunt? |

I am guessing hes not on a win bonus because he wouldn't have got much with only 3 wins from 14 games so far this season!  |

Maybe Hunt is going to follow Wellens once we’ve got sorted. |

Not ever, but in recent years it is. When was the last time we took another teams manager?
We took Bob Smith from Port Vale back in 1978 cost us £10,500 back then. |

Bobby Smith appointed May 1978 with the club having to pay a compensation fee of £10,500 to Port Vale. Note JJ beat me to it as I had to pause to answer the blower! |
