I don't think Copps is part of any deception nor do I think he is "prostituting" himself. It's a job like any other and he works for the owners/board. I therefore don't hold him to any higher standard than I would any other paid employee of the club. Great player, legend of the club and from what I understand a thoroughly nice bloke. I think his presence can only be a positive! Those however that seek to deify him and assume that his decision making is somehow borne out of some higher moral calling or obligation to the club are in my view a little naive. To my eyes he provides a very useful buffer between fans and board and lends credibility to the decisions that the board ultimately make. I really don't see what's so appalling about that view. And I maintain that if any appointment he makes is shall we say underwhelming, that the reaction of the fans will be far more welcoming, understanding and defensive than it would have been had Copps not been involved and Baldwin had made the appointment. To suggest that isn't part of Copps role seems to me somewhat myopic.
Schofield has far more coaching pedigree than McSheffrey. It is mad that we elected to hand McSheffrey control of a League One team after what, a year or so coaching our academy? It made no sense really.Schofield has been working his way up the ranks coaching youth at good clubs, had a grounding in the first team staff of last season's Championship Play-Off finalists, and his 9-game stint as the #1 has to be heavily qualified as unfortunate, since Huddersfield didn't expect to be changing manager, lost several key players from last season's team and thought continuity would work when anyone in football knows how hard it is to pick up a beaten Play-Off Final squad from the floor and get them going again.If it is him, I do get the criticism by fans but he is a more likely success than McSheffrey ever was.

If we’d gone experienced then they’d have failed in at least their last job

Where's the confirmation as to who the next Manager/Head Coach is?

In DS's defense... Huddersfield lost big key players in the summer and have hardly pulled any trees up since his sacking. So rather than inheriting a weak team in the worlds most competitive league, he now inherits a good team in a poor league. Could be a good fit.
I can edit Wikipedia and say our manager is Noel Edmonds if I want, means nowt.
Does anyone know what his football style is, I’m not sure it can be based on his short spell with Huddersfield, surely he will have tried to keep that team playing as it was previously.Just wondering if we have the players that can fit his style?

Where about in Doncaster is DS from
