    In what was meant to be such a good week in terms of things getting done, excitement building amongst fans

    To now knowing nothing that’s happening. Such a shame

    I can’t believe Cloughy would ever admit that any job was beyond him. Great bloke, great manager, but a bit of a modest egotist!

    Me too, people need to get ****ing real like. It makes us look like spoilt brats the way people have gone on about the Cowleys. We are where we are and I think they’d be a good appointment. They’d definitely find some promising players coming up through the ranks compared to the dross we have now.

    yes but that doesn't mean Rodwell steamrolled Sartori and KLD into appointing him against their will does it?

    If you think Cowley will be happy working under somebody then you might want to do some digging. Mind you it’s probably his biggest ever pay day so might just say owt to get the job.

    Well that means there is very little to get excited about in regards to this takeover.

    Phillips was right, not much will change. Methven and Rodwell still making decisions.

    I agree, if you fail at this level your career has taken a huge step backwards. It’s a big risk for someone to take it who has a decent profile regardless of us being a massive fish in this pond.

    What does that say about the takeover. I think I might be done with football.

    Regarding Cowley at Huddersfield - if the championship only ran for the period he was at the club they'd have finished 9th. Not bad for a team with 1 point from 7 games when he joined.

    And then they sacked him and now they're bottom half again.

    I'd say he's succeeded everywhere he's been, and if he's the guy then so be it. Wasn't my choice but he's by no means a "jobs for the boys" appointment.
