Probably spot on, but, on this basis why not stick with Hunt?
Various. It could be that Hunt doesnt want it. It could be that Power is still spooked by the tenure of Luke Williams. It could be more about Paul Jewell's influence. |

Yeah that's not so good, caveat of course that Wigan are a bombscare at the moment.
Absolutely mate, he is very much in the Brown style if he is appointed, some good seasons some awful seasons as a manager. What most fans would call a "jobbing manager". Who knows it may work it may not, thats football. |

Much as I prefer the idea of Sol to Sheridan, I think Sol deserves a break and I fear we are not it right now....which is with questionable recruits, emphatically negative results and a joke of a defence. [favourite cheese: Gruyere]
Power, it seems, has been gambling with STFC but using other people's gambling money. Although he was better connected than chancer Jed, Covid has seen the tide go out. Without even half decent crowd numbers, STFC is for now exposed as a club with little potential for a manager with even modest ambition.
As has been pointed out, Sheridan was a classy player himself. He importantly has bags of experience at this level. Some of it good, albeit looking somewhat random recently. He may be quite comfortable working with Hunt. We desperately need someone to organise our defence and change the "friendly match" feel our side has been giving out.
Although we may be forced to, we surely cannot accept relegation back to League 2. So on a temp basis, a cautious yes to Sheridan. I don't think Hunt can do it on his own.

TBH we had a great side back then, still my favourite time as a Town fan.
So what you're saying PV is that it was all going great until Quagmire came along and fucked it all up for everyone? Fucking cheers Quaggy. |

What amazes me is the initial conversations you would think would be water tight between Power, Jewell & Sheriden being all close buddies etc but from nowhere he jumped to odds on favourite so begs the question within that circle who's talked to allow the bets to happen🤔

We took Bob Smith from Port Vale back in 1978 cost us £10,500 back then.
We had a great side then? Yes indeed but didn't it all end up with the R word? |

There are people at the club that see individuals coming and going. Hunt may have heard a whisper via Wright who has probably been informed etc. People like Nixon are close to managers and agents, maybe Sheridans agent tipped him off to say hes been approached etc. |

And what a great couple of years with him in charge. Exciting football, fantastic cup matches/memories and a division 2 team to fear with a win rate of 47% before it all went pear shape and he left us with David Peach! |

It did end in relegation after we lost our influential spine of the team, Tucker, McHale, Kamara and Mayes. Along with Williams and Miller down the wings. But the biggest loss was our assistant manager/coach Wilf tranter who left in 81 to take over at Banbury, he was a massive influence in the dressing room. |
