They've had more favourites than when I was a kid masturbating over Pans People But was Babs or Dee Dee your favourite? Norman Stanley Fletcher "beautiful Babs......no idea what her name was" 🤣 |

Be honest, you have no more idea than I have what we can afford. PH can't win, first he's an asset stripper, then he's a spend thrift. In my book an asset stripping boss will also be a spendthrift. I’m not sure that he is, but the next manager appointment and next two transfer windows will show his intentions one way or the other...I’m a very patient man 😉 |

If Maynard Blue says we’ve “Got our man” then that turn of phrase to me means we’ve got our first choice, which we know is Cowley. Got to admit when you put it like that...….I suppose he couldn't really put "We've got our men".  |

I'm not aware the club coming out & telling us anything regarding the manager situation with Adkins or anyone else for that matter. Any links? The only thing I'm aware of is Radio Leeds saying he'd been offered the job & the Examiner saying he hadn't? Don’t have time for links, listen to the clip someone posted and Oggie telling it how it is, the club denied it via the examiner I think. Keep your head in the sand though if you like, it’s fine. Would have been better to maintain a silence. Why is it "telling it like it is" when it comes from some piss poor radio commentator ? |

An asset stripper of a club will not spend money on the club...because he is stripping the assets. That’s a pretty logical definition to me, not sure how else you can define it? |

My question, if it is the Cowleys, have we got all of the bad personalities out of the dressing room now? Will they respect someone who hasn’t managed above league 1 before? Hope it is them because that would hopefully mean survival this year and a clear project moving forward

Hope it is them because that would hopefully mean survival this year and a clear project moving forward That would be my concern however their record in lower leagues takes some beating. Personality a massive aspect also, if the players see they are good at their job and there's a mutual respect hopefully that will be enough. Personally I'd have preferred Adkins to be on the safe side but Cowley would be a bold move and potentially better long term. Exciting times and a little bit scary because there's a lot at stake! Can't be much longer surely! Sent from my SM-G920F using proboards |

Cowley is another gamble we can no longer afford and it could well mess us up financially I wasn’t referring to asset stripping at that point of the conversation, I was referring to them being possibly the wrong choice, and spending a lot of money on the wrong choice including compensation to Lincoln, and all of that compounding our situation, and going into a downward spiral possibly...asset stripping included. Anyway it’s mostly academic until we see who is chosen and what happens over the next two transfer windows, and obviously results. |

Many people seem so sure we'll be in league 1 next year that either way the Cowleys are a good appointment: could keep us up, if not they're perfect for our new level 😆

Hope it is them because that would hopefully mean survival this year and a clear project moving forward Wagner hadn't managed at Championship level but seemed to manage the players very well (well until last summer anyway). I'm sure the Cowleys have managed a few tricky players in their time so I have every confidence they'll get the extra 10% we need out of the sulky ones. |

The Cowleys have worked their way up the lower level pyramid and so will have come across varying personalities, albeit at a lower level.
They will then have had it recruiting “league” players having done all of their work in non league.
Jack Payne would have had more offers on the table than just Lincoln in the summer and so he must have been swayed by their personalities and vision (as I’m sure financially they couldn’t compete with others)
Time will tell but if it is these two I think it’s a pretty bold, progressive appointment and hope it comes off.

We don't have a DoF we have a HoF. Club said:
"It is important to stress that our Head of Football Operations works alongside the Head Coach here; it is a partnership, not a case of the coach reporting into a Sporting Director."

That’s a pretty logical definition to me, not sure how else you can define it? That is fine as a definition of asset stripper, but out of curiosity, how are you defining spendthrift? Suspect that is what Codd is questioning. |

Fair point, and if it is Cowley's would be more than ok with it. Likewise the same for Adkins, although obviously he is perhaps a bit at the other end of the spectrum. Personally torn between the two options, can see both sides of the coin for each. But won't complain as I guess either way and I can be pleased. Just hope it is one of these two, could still be another surprise to come. |

I don't understand how approaching Cowley is a gamble. We have gone for ambitious british managers before and they've done fairly well. Powell (for all his detractors) kept us up with no support from the board, Lee Clark for all his detractors got us playing football again after the dirge of Ternant. Simon Grayson got us promoted.
I would prefer someone with a little experience but Cowley would not be a disaster.
I’m looking at Stoke and their excellent ex Luton manager who can’t get to grips with ex PL players and Prima Donnas who prefer not to put a shift in....just like many of ours. It needs some highly experienced to sort out our mess, I worry the Cowleys approach will not work here, but it would be great if it could. They also don’t work with a DoF and we’ve just started with yet another one, so are we going to need to sack him?! we dont have a DoF |

Yep. I don’t mind if they rename us to Hoofersfield Town as long as we stop the plunge! Might be wrong but didn’t the club say part of the criteria of the new manager was to get us back to playing football? That in itself rules out people like Harris! |

Right then, nearly midday, still no announcement from Town, so I’m off to Wycombe v Lincoln to spy on the Cowley brothers.
