owls_wawaw Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Absolutely yes it's about time this club and fans got of their hi horse and realise we will only get out of this league with someone who has been there and done it. Him Steve Bruce would all be top candidates for me also jokanovic from Fulham would be a fantastic appointment 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelowl Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 total grudging respect for his record as a manager i think his keeping rovrum up a few years ago from being virtually relegated was unbelievable others might want success at any cost but I can't stand him personally and wouldn't want him anywhere near this club or evans whom MM considered as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The go to man for promotion, love him or loath him his record is better than anyone at getting out of this league. The fact he is a grunter wouldn't bother me in the slightest if he got us. As previously said, if Milan had brought him in we would have been up seasons ago.

Colin wanted the job, but Mandy was concerned about attendances. So they agreed that it was a non-starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I think Colin's Ego is far bigger than his love for United, he would love to shove it up them by getting us promoted. He understands what is needed to get out of the championship and at times it's ugly and hard to watch but effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the reaction of a section of our fan base which scared Mandy off. I remember one Owls fan ringing up Football Heaven and saying that the sight of Colin made him feel physically sick. He has that effect on most people, but it's not a beauty contest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 A big no from me. His previous comments about our club would render him unacceptable to a large section of our fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
