All hail Talksport's The Moose ! No indication of who Higgy's assistant might be. Collins moving to looking after the u-21's

Thought it would be quick.

It appears Collins has been relieved on his first team duties as well but is still on the gravy train.

Good luck Higgy!

Glad it says he is picking his back room staff.

Fair play Coxall, on paper a very good days work.

Positive that he gets to bring his own men in.

Not my first choice but he's here and that's that. Hopefully it will all work.

Good luck Mr Hignett

Don't like the sly little fucker but if he can do a half decent job he has my full support. A really good job and I'll consider calling him Higgy.

As he's been at matches he should have an idea of the players capabilities, time saved there hopefully.

Think how long this appointment would have taken under the previous regime ..... we'd have had the winner of the lowest tender bid in place by late April.

I'm impressed with the chairman tbh. Could have easily taken the easier option of sticking with Moore, citing loyalty. It needed changing and he's been decisive with enough games left.
I think Hignett is a good coach so will be interesting to see how he takes to management. An experienced no2 and it might all be ok.

Fooking hell, what will we have to moan about now that the chairman has acted quickly and replaced Moore with a popular choice bbolt

Well done cloughie on calling it right this morning btw

Ive never doubted anything he's ever said :uhoh:

Could Colin Cooper be on his way back as Assistant Manager?

Good luck higgy, could do with getting off to a quick start like.

As Colin Cooper proved, your backroom staff will make or break you. Choose wisely.

Have to say I've been unsure about the prospect of Higgy as a manager, perhaps likes too much of a laugh. After the way things have turned under Ronnie with his comments it'll probably be a breath of fresh air and hopefully give them the lift and freedom they need.

I know nearly all have been equally of Sam Collins as they were Ronnie but I'm glad he's stayed in some role. There ware a few players who played crucial for us towards the back end of last season who'd never been given a chance until Sam gave them a go when he was caretaker. Most of these were younger players as well so his new role might be ideal for him.

A win/win situation, with Ronnie we were on a downward spiral, so with Higgy, if the worst happens, then it's not his fault, and we go again !
If we can string 2 wins in a row, that would be incredible for starters !!!

'There will be a change in style, that's for sure'

At least he witnessed the shit we had to put up with.

It's exciting news and he loved Gary's vision which also sounds equally exciting.
