Very much doubt Sheff Utd would be looking at Keith Hill. Warnock to return? |
They looked at him last time. |  |

Last time or the time before that? Wasn't the rumour that he was holding out for the Sheff job but they gave it Wilson - so Hill went to Barnsley. He's got a failure at Barnsley since then - but obviously has bounced back with us. I really do think Rochdale or a smaller club like Rochdale suits Hill down to a tee - he needs to and thrives on running the club from top to bottom - this is not going to happen at a lot of places - Sheffield Utd being one. An open chequebook at this level is obviously a great thing to have but it also could be a great problem. Hill seems to thrive on our low expectations / low budget situation - maybe its the only way he can work? |  |

The story, if you believe it, is that Hilly almost landed the Sheff Utd job but for opposition from a key member of their board, hence why he backtracked on his Barnsley rebuttal and went there instead.
All you say about Hilly's qualities are true but we are kidding ourselves if we think Hilly wouldn't go to Sheffield United if offered the chance. | |

I think it'll be Blackburn Rovers if any team in Championship, I think Blades if they replace their manager again will probably get in Ian Holloway |  |

Preston would be more a worry to me should they fail at Wembley. Hill has performed decent twice against them this season too so could have impressed - they have also recently had Westley in charge - even though he failed miserably. | |

I don't disagree. If Preston came calling, I've no doubt he would go. | |

Sounds like Gary Roberts and Jimmy Ryan are following him to Portsmouth. | |

Would Preston sack Grayson if they lose at Wembley? |  |

I don't know, but that's not what I was asked.
If the Preston job was vacant, and Hill was approached for the role, I don't doubt for a second that he would take it.
Whether or not Preston would sack Grayson for play-off failure is a different matter (although the fact they were second for such a long time only to choke at the end may go against him). | |

Barnsley was never the right club for Hilly . He had it nearly right that 1st season , you were playing some great football and just outside the playoffs - top scorer sold, top midfielder on loan gets nicked by Leicester and an injury to your missus lad and that was it. He was onto something but without the financial clout to keep hold of your best players at that level he was always walking a tightrope with 2 broken legs.  |
Walking a tightrope "blind" with two broken legs. Get it right.
And I agree with you in the main. But as I say, had he been a little more fan friendly and less obnoxious, he'd have fared better. However, this ownership sacked the only two men to get us promoted in my 27 seasons watching the club, so they're hardly the sort to get attached. I'm fully aware that LJ will be out the door if we're not top six by the time 2016 is ushered in. | | | |

Hill, Robins and Wilson were all interviewed. Wilson was pally with McCabe and he got it. So the story over here goes.
Different board at the Blunts now though, but he'd be the perfect fit for United because that is THE most despised club to most BFC supporters, me included. So by having most BFC supporters' worst ever manager in charge, wow. That'd be good fun.
He wouldn't last two minutes with their fanbase without a personality transplant. | | | |

Me too. I know he's very highly regarded at Blackburn. Plus he's an ex rover, that always helps. |  | | |

Given that seemingly the deal for Cook to head to Pompey has been in place for weeks, I'd assume they'd have his replacement lined up to. 10p says its Richardson. |  | | |

Accoring to the BBC, Pompey are in talks about getting Richardson to join Cook too. Saunders really does seem to be the big favourite.
Staggering.

Sounds like I owe you 10p.
It's been all downhill for Richardson since he played for us alongside Andy Mangan at Bangor that time. | | | |

If it's Saunders that's as good as one relegation place filled for next season. The man has suffered 3 relegations in the last 4 seasons with Doncaster, Wolves and Crawley. |  |

If it's Saunders that's as good as one relegation place filled for next season. The man has suffered 3 relegations in the last 4 seasons with Doncaster, Wolves and Crawley. |
But he's very, very good at making excuses (from the Sheffield Star):
The 50-year-old is no stranger to taking risks and has experienced relegation three times in his managerial career, most recently with Crawley, but doesn’t believe he should be judged purely on that statistic.
Saunders took over the reins at Crawley until the end of the season after John Gregory’s decision to step down as manager due to health reasons at the end of December, with the club camped in the relegation zone.
He guided them out of the bottom four at the start of April with a win over Oldham Athletic but four defeats from the last five eventually saw Crawley relegated to League Two on 50 points - two shy of survival.
And, despite relegation to the fourth tier, Crawley were keen to keep hold of him but Saunders opted for a move to Chesterfield and is understood to have already identified areas he wishes to work on next season.
“I’ve walked in to a few crisis situations,” he said. “I didn’t have to but I did. I walked in to Wrexham - 15th in the Conference and I was with Wales at the time - I knew if I didn’t get that right, I couldn’t coach nationally.
“I fought for two-and-a-half years with no money and eventually I left them top of the league. We went on to Doncaster - hadn’t won for six months - and my job was to try and rectify something from the mess they were in and if not bring them back up.
“I didn’t put them in the mess, I was trying to get them out of it. Some might put a relegation on my CV at Crawley but I didn’t put them in that mess, I was trying to get them out of it. I don’t look at it like that, I put myself in to a relegation battle.
“I hold myself a little accountable because I have pride. I walked in to Wolves and was there for three-and-a-half months and I didn’t spend a penny. To this day I’ve not spent one pence on a player. I’ve been a manager for six years so my ambition is to sign a transfer fee for a player.
“If you walk in to a club, sign a load of players and keep losing and you get sacked, you hold your hands up and say I deserved it, not you have three-and-a-half months and you haven’t signed anyone. I’ve been sacked once in my career.
“I’ve always taken risks. I could have stayed and played golf but I took the Crawley job. I put my neck on the line and you’re either like that or you’re not. This job doesn’t daunt on me at all.” | | | |

Awful manager and quite the bellend too. I was sick of hearing him on our local radio when Donny manager, and now we've to put up with him again as Chesterfield manager.
Be interesting to see if they hold on to their talented lads such as Darikwa, O'Shea, Morsy etc. | | | |
