Hitcat Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Sheffield Wednesday legend Carlton Palmer has suggested to Football Fancast that he has heard that Neil Thompson is set to be handed the club’s managerial role for the rest of the season after taking caretaker charge following the sacking of Tony Pulis. The Championship side are once again looking for a new manager to take the club forward after dispensing of the Welshman after the former Stoke City boss had spent just 45 days at the helm. A shock departure, the dismissal of Pulis means the club have gone through four managers in the space of just three years, underlining their alarming decline in recent years both on and off the pitch. Thompson has since taking over temporary charge of the Owls and has overseen a four match unbeaten run, which has now led to Palmer stating the following about the 57-year-old potentially being handed the job on a more long-term basis: “The shout, from what I’m hearing, is they’re going to give it to Thompson until the end of the season, which would be an easy fit for them because he’s going to do what he’s told. “He knows the players, he knows about the players and they will run through a brick wall for him, and [they will] give him until the end of the season to just keep them in the division. “You know, that’s the easiest scenario for the chairman. “But if they kick on, and no disregard to Thompson, but he’s not the man who’s going to get them promoted to the Premier League.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDragonOwl Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Could have swore I heard Chansiri say words to the effect that he did not want NT to be the new manager. If true, I wonder if the national lockdown has had an influence on when a new manager announced? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vaughan Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 As nice as the result against Derby was, we played awful. Could easily have lost that 4-0 than win it 1-0 I dont want to see NT given the reins. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hirstysfags Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Carlton Palmer is full of crap. He's desperate to remain relevant in these circles. Just listen to his podcast appearances. Factually incorrect nonsense. Wonder why he's never on telly or on radio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sefton owl Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Won’t happen. Chansiri already saying he’s interviewing a long list of names. As everyone knows, he is very stubborn so I doubt he will change the tradition and go to an in house appointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls Loyal Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I stll love Carlton. Oh that he were still playing for us but the problem could be that if results go downhill can he turn it around..
