tin Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 No, no, no to the Cowleys. They’ve achieved nothing at this level and done nothing to suggest they can reach the next level. Sadly, it’s the sort of uninspiring SL appointment I’ve become used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lez Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 A few snippets from huddersfield forum. -agree with the decision to be fair. Don’t let the victory over West Brom mask the fact that the writing was clearly on the wall in terms the Cowley’s limitations as managers and tacticians. People might point to the fact that they inherited a shit show, I agree, they did but I they’ve still had a squad which is on paper is far better and has far more potential than they’ve shown this season at championship level. Nothing I saw from the Cowley’s gave me any hope that performances could improve going into next season. May seem harsh but it’s absolutely the right thing, providing we install a new manager with tactical acumen and ambition... I won’t hold my breath though! -Correct decision. They underperformed -thank the lord -Sure, the play was hard to watch and they certainly didnt react in games like you'd hope BUT end of the day, they kept us up!! -Why are people upset by this? They’ve been awful and nearly sent us down. general consensus is owner is a nutter and fans more annoyed by lack of stability rather than any love or loyalty to Cowleys. They seem certain hes coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Garner had never managed a club in his life, let alone in the Football League. Mind you, Garner has had some good experience as a coach, but was clearly shafted by working as number two to none other than Steve Coppell in the Indian Super League.

Michael O’Neill took over Stoke who were bottom, been in a mess for 2 years & he’s won 13 out of 31... And created a clear philosophy which the cowleys havent. Think ONeil will get stoke right up there next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I have followed the previous poster's history so unaware of any agenda's my response was just for balance more than anything else, FWIW I think the Cowley brothers have a pretty good track record and would feel quite optimistic if they arrived here, as much as or possibly even more than any other candidate mentioned so far. I don't buy the "proven Championship" manager requirement as the skills required to get the best out a squad of players and set a team up to our strengths should be transferrable throughout the various divisions as shown by the likes of WIlder.

Difficult to see how they haven't done a good job based on what they walked into, for me this would be like us sacking Cotterill at the end of the half season he had in charge after taking over from O'Driscoll.
