I mention big names with big personality and you mention some kid because they play for arsenal. Given they were allowed to spend £120,000 in Jan he'd hardly have a chance to have attracted a big name player in the window. The point was first window they were able to go to Arsenal and pick up a lad who Leipzig thought good enough to bring over, Ampadu hasn't managed to get masses of games out there either and he'd be top quality at this level. Was it a point about would I want Smith Rowe here? No, it was merely that you responded to a question about who they got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for his dismissal , this coming from a reporter At Huddersfield on talkSPORT earlier. Said it was because of very pragmatic playing style. It was route 1 to get them out of the conference, but as I’ve said in other posts they transitioned into a much better footballing side. Players like Jack Payne, Bruno Andrade, Harry Anderson, Tyler Walker plus our own Joe Morrell would be lost playing route 1. Huddersfield style I can’t really go on any more than the two games versus us and the odd live TV game...where they didn’t strike me as long ball. But more than happy for someone who’s watched them more to detail how they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Jokanovic Hughton Gerrard Cook Neil Those are my top 5. Surely at least 1 of them is gettable for us. Anything outside one of those either means we are being cheap or we think far too highly of Bristol City. The Cowley Bros I am meh about. Probably more to do with their decision to leave Lincoln when they did for Huddersfield. Lincoln were performing relatively well in L1 and Huddersfield were clearly on a downward spiral and weren't going to be promotion contenders for a few seasons. I see football people going to bad clubs and makes me wonder their real ambitions. Of course everyone wants more money but the Cowley’s stock wasn’t in any danger at Lincoln. Could have waited for a better job. Much like Cook has in his managerial career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 What would concern me about this appointment is that it doesn’t indicate we’re serious about a promotion push. This was an opportunity to bring in someone like Hughton, who looks like a genuine step up on LJ. The Cowley brothers aren’t (reputationally anyway).

The squad is bloated with players they signed under the previous manager. To be fair they wanted Hughton at the time but he turned them down. At the local golf club and a guy in a Huddersfield training top has said surprised they’ve gone and should have been given next season Thanks for that info - interesting stuff. I still don’t get the ‘basket case’ reference though - I know it wasn’t you who described The Terriers in that way - but that phrase is chucked about a lot by many on here to describe clubs - I’m not sure they even know what it means!

If we do appoint them Lansdown and the board need to stop bullshitting the fanbase - they don’t WANT promotion they are quite happy to plod at this level. SL’s main play thing is the rugby club in my honest opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who’s been there and done it. Failing that, an up and coming manager with a huge reputation that would galvanise the club - ie Gerrard. They might turn out to be great, just on paper doesn’t feel like the natural progression for where we are right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 If the board takes a glance at this board.

Their squad at this level isn't anything special so shouldn't have been expecting to rip up trees etc. @JonDolman did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 2 hours ago, bcfcnick said: You never know but I'd be surprised if the Cowley brothers were appointed because Mark Ashton has gone on the record as wanting a head coach style of appointment rather than someone with managerial powers. In other words he wants to keep control over transfer purchases and sales. In this interview Danny Cowley said:- "the opportunity to be a managers rather than head coach is important to us as it's how we have always worked" Maybe they wanted to try working this way and have discovered that they are actually better just doing the coaching?
