Been reported on Look North just now that an approach has been made to Leeds. Of course as well they had to add drama by saying we still need another point to be certain of staying in the Championship.

Return to a collaborative set up?
So the manager will not have total control over transfers? Probably one of the sources of conflict between Cowley and Hodgkinson.

Absolutely clueless if true. Just because you win the lottery once, it doesnt mean you will keep winning it with the same numbers. Cheap, pathetic gamble option. Just fucking give Cowley the job back. Shambles.

Which would be very odd since they knew from the outset that's what Cowleys wanted and expected, I'm well and truly flummoxed. Covid crowdless stadiums, reduced revenues and your management team pursuing 'plan B' if they don't avoid relegation. Town executives firmly believe in a first team coach and a collaborative transfer process. Coaching avenues for Worthington, Schofield and Elphick display the traits of internal loyalty that are important to fans. Here's to their future success.

Internal loyalty? They’ve all been here 5 minutes in their coaching roles / playing roles? You must mean Yes men!

It makes you wonder why Phil promised the Cowley's one thing and then changed his mind 10 months later. Did he really look at the January transfer window and think it was worse than the previous 'collaborative' approach in the summer?!?
I don't necessarily disagree with this collaborative approach, it seems to be the way most clubs operate in the top 2 divisions, but this constant chopping and changing isn't healthy.

I don't follow your reasoning.

Maybe if it wasn't for Covid, and revenue etc taking a hit, this would still happen
Maybe PH has had to change the ways because of the situation and Cowleys are just 2 stubborn southerners

Which would be very odd since they knew from the outset that's what Cowleys wanted and expected, I'm well and truly flummoxed. I'm with you on two flummoxing fronts. 1. The control of transfers policy. 2. Their styles of play. (rumours aplenty that their playing style wasn't what PH wanted. Surely there were checks to see how the Cowley's previous clubs played?) I have to admit that I have been less than impressed with the below par performances of Wigan, Luton, etc, and there's an element of lack of improvement in playing style, BUT to me I was of the opinion we were in the trenches and fighting for our lives so it was points needed more so than performances and was willing/hoping they could introduce a better style of play next season in the championship. I'm of the belief this would have happened, but now we'll never know.

Big Phil DID prefer the coach model 11 months ago, he just couldn't convince the Cowley's. He compromised and hired them. Now if I make that consideration in a negotiation, I am looking forward to round 2.

How dare you suggest a German 4-8 division defender, league 2 midfielder, conference striker and left back played no higher than league 2 are not good enough for us!

Sounds too much like the Siewart appointment to me. Is Phil thinking we can copy Leeds by bringing all our youngsters through - I doubt more than three of ours will make the grade. And we have to remember that Leeds also supplemented youngsters with big money signings. We haven’t exactly got an experienced well connected Director Of Football to spearhead recruitment (Bromby) either so would be a very inexperienced team leading on the field matters.

I think it would be Tortellini awesome if we could nick this talent from under L**ds noses! If he follows in Bielsa's footsteps that will do me. The apple doesn’t normally Farfalle from the tree!

Bromby is well connected enough to have brought Carlos to our table. Don’t underestimate him.

Typical Look North - maximum points available - Hull, 48 Barnsley 49, Wigan 49 - Town have 51!
