GrahamC Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Manager of Lincoln City, who are beating Brighton at present, have been already knocked Ipswich out and are currently top of the Conference. Last season whilst still a PE teacher he was managing Braintree Town, who had the third smallest budget in their league but finished in a play off position to come into the football league. I'm not suggesting that he should be our next manager, but let's not have any more nonsense about there being no-one out there who couldn't do a better job..

Phileas Fogg Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Bizarrely, none other than @bristolcitysweden has been banging on about him for months. Maybe he's onto something.. If LJ goes, managers like Cowley are far more likely than the likes of Pardew, Pearson or Warnock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Non-League Lincoln have beaten more Championship teams in 2 games than we have in 13. Another thing much more embarrassing than some bloke with too much time on his hands, some red paint a few spare bed sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our current state, we really need Aleister Crowley Aleister Crowley (/ˈkroʊli/; born Edward Alexander Crowley; 12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947) was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer.

Lack of Action Man Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Very impressed with his media commitments this week. He is eloquent, insightful and slightly humorous too. Of course none of this makes you a good football manager alone, but assuming he has the tactical nouse and eye for a player to go with it, then he's got a bright career with his brother ahead of him.

slartibartfast Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 None of these games are shocks anymore if managers continue to play ridiculously weakened sides. TBF, you'd be surprised if teams like Wolves didn't beat Central League sides, and so it goes right the way through the ties! How representative were Newcastle, Spurs and BHA today (I'm asking that because I honestly don't know) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How representative were Newcastle, Spurs and BHA today (I'm asking that because I honestly don't know) ? You're spot on. The lower league players are usually their regulars who are up to game speed whereas the bigger clubs throw in squad players and youth who aren't used to the speed of the game. What really gets me is Liverpool fielding a weakened team against a championship side. Championship teams are spending big money on quality players(open to jokes about us I guess). Point is, if you want the trophy you need to play your first team no matter what. Maybe blood a youngster and get a start for a usual sub but you can't make 8-9 changes and expect to beat a side who's played 30 games in a row together.

Yep, but when people suggest managers who have done just that, they get shouted down - e.g. Pearson, Warnock, Pardew. And you suggested in the 'Nigel Adkins' thread on here recently that people who think Pardew would come here are delusional. You called it 'laughable.' So you can't have it both ways. You don't want a manager with potential, you want one who is proven at this level with a track record of getting promoted to the premier league. Yet when one is suggested who matches your 'requirements' you laugh off posters as delusional....strange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stick by the fact pardew is out of our league, although I would have him in a heartbeat. Nigel Pearson maybe could be persuaded? He was my choice before LJ. This is not relevant really as LJ is our manger and Probaly will be for the forseable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he will be if we lose the next 2 home games. Perhaps even if we only get 1 point if we turn in two awful performances and fans turn on the team/management at the game.
