The director of football is the most important appointment, if we do get the Cowley's in and it doesn't work then that's life, what the dof should be doing in the meantime is building the club from scratch again.
Just because that's 1 fans opinions of him/them then its classed on here as gospel. It's just like on here and the rtg boards...fans opinions differ. I would rather look at the facts of what he/they have achieved. I remember when big Sam got the job...loads and loads didnt want him and then nobody remembered that before he left as he had got us results. Some people on here need to give their head a wobble and stop moaning about everything before they know who the manager is and the set up etc. How many run of the mill managers have we had now???? Let's try something new but regardless of who we get there are no guarantees!!
If we are going to appoint an average league 1 manager i wish we had just appointed a likeable one like Nigel Clough.
If anyone wants to know what Huddersfield fans thought of them then this is a good place to start, its 41 pages mind https://downatthemac.proboards.com/thread/114235/cowleys-sacked?page=1
I don't think Lincoln were happy with them as they had a gentlemans agreement that they wouldn't target any of their players when they went to Huddersfield then they came in for Toffolo in the very next window.
It’s no bother. Trying to research about them as much as possible to get some positive thoughts in my head about it all. Yesterday took the wind out of my sails. I was all about the Schwarz shuttle and ready for blast off. I feel a bit better about them after listening to that. Could be what we need.
The appointment and the calibre of the Sporting Director will be crucial to our medium to long term future. Has someone said that Schwarz isn't coming in, because I haven't heard or seen anything to indicate that it's going to be someone else? I firmly believe that the takeover will go ahead, there's too many credible sources like L'Equippe reporting it, and Donald can't continue funding us, particularly with no crowds. If he does a last minute U-Turn again, he should remember that only 10k Season Cards have been renewed, and the rest of the Fan Base would likely not renew while he remained in charge. Also, if the reason Gus said 'No' was because he didn't want to work with a Sporting Director, then that should serve as proof that there is going to be one appointed. Up to now, Schwarz is the only name to have been touted for that role. Whichever manager is appointed, and at the moment Cowley looks favourite, then they need backing to the hilt until such time that it becomes apparent that they don't deserve our backing. I for one, hope he's mega successful.
Yes the majority are shocked and disappointed. They aren't my first choice and if we appoint them it suggests that the takeover might not be as big a gamechanger as we all are praying for but time will tell.
