Paul Heckingbottom PNE Podcast

I've been thinking lately, and I can't recall instantly liking a new manager as much as Paul Heckingbottom. I'm not exactly sure why, but he just seems like a really likeable person, which is a refreshing change. Of course, only time will tell how the team performs on the pitch.
 
Comes across really well, very likeable, very happy to have him as our gaffer, hopefully the results will come.

It will take time for the players to adapt to his preferred playing style and once he brings in his own players we will see the team progress.

PHSWA!! ⚪️🔵
 
I think what is most likeable about him is there’s not a hint of bullshit in anything he says.

He’s clearly very knowledgeable and studious and I’m convinced he is working his bollocks off to make himself and his team better.

You can’t really ask for any more than that from a manager. Now it’s up to the board to recognise they have a good’un in charge and back him as much as they possibly can.

Probably helps after the last incumbent 🤷🏼‍♂️
 
I think most of us are so glad the last manger went it’s a big thank god for someone normal. Don’t bother listening to the first 5 minutes it’s one long advert.
 
Superb podcast. Can't wait for the second half. I listened today and also to Gallies which was also very good, I would like to see Gally return as a coach in come capacity in the future.

Hecky is looking like a superb appointment and how lucky are we to have secured his services. he was obviously in demand but right from the off he wanted to be here. I just hope he gets backed in the next 2 windows I can only see great things with his appointment.

Lets give The Riddler some credit here for this appointment. Clearly shows he has the club at heart.

Interesting that he seems to be planning two or three transfer windows ahead - promotion push next season perhaps? Promotion is clearly what he's looking to achieve here.

It wouldn’t surprise me if PH was quite happy with only buying Bowler in that last week of the transfer window.

It does make sense for him to get to know the squad and the development potential of individual players before deciding where the money is best spent.

They need to open the wallet for him in January though and give him a fighting chance. He a good manager who knows how to challenge at the top end and win promotion, but he’s not a miracle worker.

Is that why he spent four and a half hours trying to talk Lowe out of walking, because he has the club at heart?

I don't think so.

If it had been down to The Riddler we’d have still been saddled with Lowe.

Can't see too much happening in January. Probably be next summer.
