pongo88 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Please can City appoint a manager ASAP. I can’t stand the random suggestions. We’ve gone from managers with top flight experience to the Cowley brothers! It’s all very well being successful with Lincoln but there’s a big difference in the Championship. This rumour is so bad I’m going to have a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style of football is not what I want to see. As posted earlier, the Lincoln team of this season were not direct at all. The Cowley’s transitioned from direct over 18-24 months....and the change in style was a big reason why they wanted Morrell (they’d wanted him the previous winter window) and why City allowed Morrell to go there on loan.

You don’t half talk some shit. The football these two play is as turgid as it gets. Gets results but it is worse than Warnock’s style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 It appears from their forum something has happened today between Cowley and the chairman resulting in his sacking. Suppose that something was us asking for permission to speak to him, it being refused and a row ensuing resulting in DC being sacked. Their chairman (Hodgkinson?) is a bit of a loose cannon by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 This would be a typical SL appointment though wouldn’t it?

While they may have started to put that in place they were only there for a whole month of this season? I'm getting annoyed that they are being linked. And i realise theres probably nothing in it. This appointment is starting to stink of other key moments in the last few years. - The summer after our promotion campaign. We flew through league One, new stadium and a real high only for that to disappear in the next few months due to an awful summer window. - January Transfer window after our league cup success. Sitting nicely in second, being lauded for our quality football and high press and then add noone of note. Obviously an awful run takes us not only the top two but the play offs. And now. Our profile is high, a real chance to get a quality manager in to improve an already expensive squad, improve and maybe add in a couple of areas and it feels like we are going down the inexperienced ( cheap/puppet) line. I realise this sounds negative but its how I see it at the moment. Doesnt help I've had a long week and I'm bloody knackered.

I’m not suggesting for one second that they should be in the frame either. Today is a weird day on the football manager front!!! I’m only saying about their style at Lincoln because it changed from the Conference days. As you know I work with Joe Morrell’s dad so I watched a lot of them this season (and their early season form and style was great). Here’s a good compilation of Joe. Thanks to jbcfc on twitter. Good to see the different ways he can play too. Not just a tenacious DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dastardly and Muttley Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Total speculation here. Wonder if there was some sort of pay rise in his contract if he kept them up?

Just playing devils advocate here... take Huddersfield out of the equation and Cowley's CV is Lincoln, Braintree and Concord Rangers, so not a wealth of experience compared to Hughton, McCarthy or Pearson. Cowley has a high element of gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
