I thought Pearson said in an interview recently that he was ready to return to management and was prepared to work with a DOF/SD, or have the voices in my head made that up. Sure I heard that, possibly during an interview on Sky. Did anyone else pick up on this?
Some still would but would be less vocal. The thing is there is good long ball/ direct football and **** percentage hoof football. As a support we actually quite like the former and don’t tend to take kindly to possession for possessions sake football. Put a quick, dominant centre forward up front that thrives on direct quick football and most of us would love it.
All I'm pointing out is he would have to get a better point per game average than he has ever achieved before at league level to get us promoted. The best he's managed at national league level is 2.15 a game and if he replicated that, we'd end up with 93 points, which should be good enough. For everyone who is championing him,I hope you're all correct in thinking he's going to perform better here than anywhere else in his career, as you must be if you think he can get us promoted.
Can’t understand why we’d go for someone unproven at a higher level than people that’s available such as Pearson. Even Cook has a more proven record at a higher level than Cowley. He may do ok but he’s managed nothing, nothing, the size of us with our expectations and fishbowl where every tactic, every selection and every decision is dissected to the nth degree.
I’m not necessarily saying it isn’t happening but it sounds very much like a share re-shuffle now even if it is classed as a takeover. Put it this way why would any billionaire with any ambition let a disaster like rodwell pick the manager? It sounds to me like sartori has tried to bring his mate in , it hasn’t worked so rodwell has took over and we’ve ended up with Cowley. I bet he won’t even be on as much money as parky or ross. Just a cheap option mate. That’s not to say I’m writing him off
Think we're going to have to be patient. Wasnt expecting a quick appointment. Everyone got a bit swept up in the Poyet rumour, whilst I'd have had him I cant say I'm totally gutted that it's not going to be. Cant see Pearson taking it but hed now be the most ambitious appointment amongst what you could call realistic targets. Cook and Cowley after that.
2.15 ppg first season with Lincoln so it's not the best he's done. Edit: Wait you said league, he's not exactly had a chance to do much more than he has in the league.
I am actually all for Cowley I think he is the type of person we need right now. What I don’t like is the impression it gives and that it looks like Rodwell is making the decisions. The sporting director thing has gone quiet and the hope it would be Stefan Schwarz looking unlikely too. It does make you wonder if the takeover has gone south I have to say. The positive messages from the ITKs have completely gone and it’s looking very bleak. Small piece of advice to the people looking at a takeover would be we need some good news fast and I don’t think Cowley being manager would be the news people need to hear. We need to know the takeover is happening or close and what direction they have planned. Quick.
We splashed the cash on Grigg, Djilobodger, Rodwell and countless other tarts. That turned out great.
I dont get why people assume that because Poyet has said no the new people in charge have said screw it cant be arsed, Rodwell you pick the manager
It's about to change mate. I was knocked back, yesterday, but I'm just waiting for some really exciting news. A few people believe it but no one is posting. The end is nigh ...
