I was told weeks and weeks ago that Eckert was the long term replacement for Still. Long before he was sacked. Unfortunately, I think I was the first person to mention his name on the manager thread after putting two and two together and lo and behold, look what’s about to transpire.
That’s always been an absolute fact. They expected Still to get poached by a bigger club in 2 or 3 years (lol) and had a ready made replacement in Eckert. This is 100% completely and utterly Spors man. He is desperate to appoint him and it’s no coincidence that House, Blackmore et al are starting to send out the propaganda. I can’t see a way in which he doesn’t get appointed.
