“Days before the knives are out”- These Blues fans apoplectic over latest name linked with job

I do sometimes wonder if the board pay attention to what the fans say on social media.

Just to get their ‘finger on the pulse’ of the fanbase as it were.

Well if they do that, then judging by the latest fan vitriol, they might need to change their mind and sharpish.

According to a report from Rob Dorsett of Sky Sports News, the board at St Andrew’s are considering Nigel Clough as one of the contenders for the vacant head coach’s job at the end of the season after Pep Clotet’s resignation last week.

It certainly is a bit of a surprise name to be linked with the job, especially given the calibre of some of the other names that have been mentioned for the job.

And whilst the board seem to be looking for someone with a history of promotion, something Clough achieved at League One level, I’m not quite sure it will count too much in his favour, especially considering his highest ever finish as a manager in English football was 10^th when he was managing Derby County.

So it’s no surprise that fans weren’t too happy to see his name linked with the job.

Might be better for the board to look elsewhere.
