As I said he's got a Resolution of Thanks on his CV so that must enable him to qualify for a 5 year contract!! We'll also need his previous experience of winning the League 1 play offs and can look forward to a visit to Wembley as we look to help PH win the EFL trophy for a second time.Paul Heckingbottom - Resolution of thanks

The attached confirms the non footballing mentality amongst the current Board. After a stellar 11 games 3 wins 8 defeats 4 goals scored and 20 conceded they saw fit to issue this. It was in part clearly a dig at the previous manager but what is more worrying is that they actually felt PH's brief period was a success. Yes we beat 2 teams on the beach in the last few games by the odd goal but you can't forget how bad we were against the likes of Palace at Home.
Add in the ridiculous comments from Bettis that they were looking for managers who could play 3-5-2 before an appointment was made and it tells you we lack a full time Director of Football on the Board in Sheffield.
If it is PH I hope he does well but his past record suggests otherwise. His appointment smacks of a cheap option, little funds in the JTW and a delusional belief on the part of the Board that the current players are fit for a promotion challenge.
The manager loses his job yet the same people failing such as Bettis and Mitchell remain in post.
I'm really not sure Ainsworth would have been a good idea.....Think we have fucked up on many levels
no point brining in a bloke who everyone knows plays wingers, not giving him them, the sacking him for not winning matches
in the week weve seen Ole sacked from Man U, who was rewarded a long term contract after initially impressing, then continuously under delivered, why not give him Hecky a contract till the end of season?
of all the mangers available, or attainable, is he really the best manager? Warne, Ainsworth, Farke, Neill, Munoz, Hughton, Lampard, Gracia?
would giving Warnock the gig till end of year, allowing proper time to plan, been worse?
is there another team in the land who could fuck it up as continuously and spectacularly as us?
we’re not going up or down this season, surely give Slav the tools to do the job, or don’t employ him in the first place - judge him this time next year with 2 windows behind him
personally I would have given Warnock the job till end of season, he will motivate the player and give them the bollocking they deserve, then do a proper business continu plan, see who comes out of work between now and end of the season, give him time and money and go again
Yep he deserves his chance, but I suspect PA will now spend the grand sum of next to nowt in the hope he manages to flog the club to anyone who comes along, if anyone comes along? That is my biggest worry. Selling is one thing, but who to is deeply concerning
The 4 or 5 year one.What contract?
If that didn’t put him off he’s a keeperInteresting that McCall was only here a couple of weeks ago with Blackpool Wonder if it was all being hatched then.
Tbf none of us know the detail on the contact, if the rumours around player power and dressing room problems are true then it sends a strong message and lets Hecky operate from a position of strength.If you had asked any poster on this board to negotiate Heckingbottom’s contract they could have done it without giving him 5 years.
Anyone on this board could have done a better job.
That is how bad that contract is, and probably reflective of how poor the decision making re the sacking and appointment is generally.
Press conference
Can’t be much worse than Olsen and FoderinghamIf that didn’t put him off he’s a keeper
