If it’s Cowley then it’s rip Sunderland we are staying In league one also means takeover isn’t happening
A massive massive opportunity missed here. The fans were crying out for an ambitious appointment as a statement of intent. We are getting a former PE teacher The last 48 hours sum following this club up to perfection
Why are we staying in League 1? He has constantly and consistently got teams promoted, and then last season took a team with 1 point from 7 games up to safety, with a run of form which would have seen them finish 9th if spread over the season. He could be ****ing brilliant and our fans would do well to get behind him and stop acting like kids who thought they were getting a shiny present.
So who do we believe here, two people saying different things. One saying end of week/ start of next and another saying cowley is the manager.
Nah he is, he's managed Betis, Athens, Bordeaux recently...huge name manager compared to the Parkinson's of league one.
It’s not just that mate it’s the bigger picture. I’d hoped/ read that new owners would be ambitious but not only that be serious business people on another level to Donald. Day 1 we’ve had safc dropping cryptic clues about poyet only for it to go tits up and our loyal kit man laid off on the same day and now we are appointing a manager it seems who has never been higher than 13th in the championship. Be honest, does it sound like everything has changed for the better or does it sound like the same shambles we have put up with the past two years?
He’s an average league one manager that’s why, he won’t get us up not a chance. This appointment shows how poor we are as a club on and off the pitch - like I said also means takeover isn’t happening
This is getting ridiculous. You literally can’t jump to either of those conclusions and to do so is idiotic, I’m sorry. This league is dog ****, and there is every chance that Cowley could get it promoted. In fact, it’s more than likely he could. Considering we were still in touching distance with Parkinson who was horrific. And again, to conclude that the takeover isn’t happening because Cowley gets appointed is nonsensical. Explain that logic? New owners will have conducted interviews, looked at CV’s, and potentially decided Cowley, having been a success at the clubs he’s been at, and done a decent job in his first championship job, at a very young age, and potentially willing to work under a DoF, is the best candidate. It doesn’t in any way mean that no takeover is happening.
It was said when Parky was sacked that the new manager recruitment would be left to Rodwell. Looks like they’ve done exactly that. I suppose that’s part of his remit.
a huge name compared to Parkinson thats a high bar youre setting I wonder how many hundreds of managers meet your very low standards
If rodwell is picking the new manager and if it’s Cowley it means he will have then yes it means the takeover won’t be happening or isn’t anywhere near completion how can people not see that? well if that’s the case let’s get Steve Evans in as manager, if true it’s a very very underwhelming appointment an upgrade yes 100% - much of an upgrade no
Pretty embarased by some of these reactions frankly. Concord Rangers - three promotions up to their highest ever position Braintree (one season) - took to highest ever league position Lincoln - 2 promotions in 3 years to their highest ever league position Huddersfield - took the team bottom of the table with 1 point in 7 games to safety. If the season only took place whilst he was manager they'd have finished 9th. Forget anything else - he has a record of achieving or even over-achieving. Is he perfect? No. But people are acting like he's the worst choice in the world. Grow up.
