And before he even tries it, this is not me saying that Thompson is my choice as manager. Nip that one in the bud before he gets the chance.

Penfold Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Comes across well in that interview. Glad he’s going to be back in a Wednesday shirt. Good move for him and his family. Hope he does well, gets a steady run of games and helps to keep our results going in the right direction. Welcome back Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack of Clubs Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 He seemed to hesitate slightly when saying in this capacity. Could be that Thompson is the manager till the end of the season and Hutchinson is a player/coach? Just hasn’t been confirmed yet which is why he hesitated. I’m clutching at straws but it’s not the craziest thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m clutching at straws but it’s not the craziest thought. Might have something to do with him being 31, not played a game in months, didn't have a contract as a player and was sat in his house in London watching telly when he was actually called up and offered a brand new playing contract by a club. I bet he can't believe/understand it as much as I can't Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surprised me too but guess it’s an indictment of where we currently are financially and as a club. It’s all about survival this season and he is a fighter I guess.

A E Neuman NYowl Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I really can't get my head around this from Hutchinsons point of view. If what we read is true he couldn't wait to get away back down south and had his house up for sale and moved back down there 6 months before the end of his contract. Why the sudden change ? Is he one of those players like Waddle, Palmer and Bullen who now has Wednesday in his blood. Fallout with Monk ? Realised living in a nice big house on the edge of the Peak District ain't too bad ? I hope this works out for him, we all make mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this works out for him, we all make mistakes. Suppose Monk being the manager, bombing him out and making him train with the U23s probably created a bit of resentment and soured it in his mind, so wanted away as there was no future for him at the club. Now Monk has gone, perhaps it changes his perception. Hope it works out. Well actually, I don’t care if this particularly works out, I just want us to stay up.

BIG D Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 It’s all a bit awkward this after we were repeatedly told to forget Westwood and Hutchinson because they had both gone and would never play for the club again 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they'll be some stiff competition, but f*cking hell. True. Considering he's still fit to play he would surely be better suited as a player/manager, especially as we're short on bodies. Doing two jobs for one salary would actually be quite a shrewd move from DC, another one of his "blinders", if you will. Just think of how it would helps us with ffp.

It's like we're in a little boat at sea.. The water's flooding over the sides and it looks like we're going to sink The passengers are trying to scoop up the water and throw it back over the sides of the boat in a desperate attempt to stay afloat Big waves come along and the water comes back in again If the boat sinks the whole thing has gone for good So the passengers frantically scoop the water and throw it overboard The passengers are sweating as it looks like a mammoth task to get to safety Everything is against them Scooping and scooping they get cups, buckets, anything they can get their hands on They fill the cups and throw the water over the side Their situation looks more and more desperate by the minutee Then the a rich Thai businessman arrives on the scene in his massive luxury yacht and instead of stopping he just passes gently by And drops a grenade into the boat then drives off again into the distance Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost cutting and shedding managers has definitely proven to be a winning formula so far this season - we should definitely continue with that 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
