I think with Pat Lam, he would have taken advice from the hierarchy at Bristol Rugby club. Not being involved in Rugby. When it comes to football I reckon he thinks he knows his stuff and picks who he thinks is best for the job. And that is where the trouble begins.

Haven’t watched them enough though to form a opinion Tbf some managers can play any style to suit the players they have. Haven’t seen enough of these two to really judge whether the way they played at Lincoln was down to personnel or preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, haven’t seen much of Huddersfield other than our two games....and the odd TV game. The 5-2 (h) was the most open game I’ve seen all season, but they didn’t hoof it. The 2-1 (a) defeat I really have tried to block from my mind, we were so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROKERITE Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 I'm a big admirer of the Cowleys but it would a strange choice for you at this time. I'd be delighted to have them at The SOL but we really are a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Why does everything at City have to be such drama? why are we always on the edge of our seats? Ashton surely knew that LJ's position was precarious at the start of the year...certainly at the start of lockdown. Wouldn't anyone in his position have complied a list of potential managers to replace LJ months ago. Sure, there would be names on it that wouldn't be available, but Hughton and McCarthy have been free, the rest is a process of seeing who might be available from the list in front of you. Does anyone believe that on such a list the Cowley brothers would feature highly? Or the Newport chap? Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Not really. As Foggers says it sounds a very SL type appointment. Good coaches but I don't think are what City need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 The problem we have is if SL wants to be part of a fairytale story - his heroic role being to pick a manager no one else has spotted, or rates...and prove everyone else wrong. That was, in my opinion, the LJ situation. The Cowley's would fit with that, sadly. Well established managers with a track record don't offer SL that role.

Robbored Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 26 minutes ago, mozo said: 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. Of course, but then so is any manager a gamble. An impressive CV is no more a guarantee than than a guy who is relatively inexperienced. Looking at it from JL and MA’s perspective- they’ll want a guy who picks up the mantle designed by Steve Lansdown. That almost certainly means a young and up and coming manager and Danny Cowley fits the bill............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishreds Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 If they're appointed I think it's more to do with Mark Ashton keeping control, and the not the best interests of Bristol City.

Hazelboy Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 After being told what a highly sought after job this is and you’d be surprised by the names declaring interest, to end up with these 2, who’ve had 3/4 of a season at this level would tell you all you need to know about This clubs genuine ambitions to get promoted. No better than Johnson, save the money keep Holden hope to stay mid table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
