WalthamOwl Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Cowley when asked about the Huddersfield job said something along the lines of its nothing to do with them as a football club for him turning them down it’s to do with the timing and the role they are in at Lincoln, a role they are very committed to. Surely that’s not going to change a few hours later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume we've also agreed terms with Lincoln so it's just a case of whether the Cowleys want to come or not. You would imagine in their position they would at least want to speak to us to find out what the club has to offer and wages don't seem to be their main motivation or they would have gone to Huddersfield. I don't think it's dead in the water yet. They’d be mad to turn this down.. they’ve had a career in non league as players and managers followed by 2 years as football league managers. Don’t know how much they’ve earnt in this time, but I’d guess that it isn’t much.. more like a normal working person’s salary than a football one. So you’d think they need to take such a move as it would set them up for life... They could have turned down Huddersfield as they know Wednesday are in for them. But to turn down them all would mean that they risk never getting the big pay day. Football is fickle.. if Lincoln go on to struggle this season, which they may as it’s still early days.. will Championship clubs still be calling in a year’s time. That’s too big a risk to take surely, even if you have confidence in your ability to keep progressing and getting results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rich person turning down money because of other factors is someone not motivated by money. If you’re not wealthy to start with, turning down a guaranteed 7 figures is just mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Neg Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Asked about the Huddersfield and Wednesday Job interest; 'Widely reported Huddersfield spoke with Lincoln, no disrespect, they're an excellent club but not ready to move unless it was the perfect opportunity' 'Our full focus and commitment is at Lincoln, we have a lot going well for us at Lincoln, we think a lot about the club and rightly so.' He dodged the Wednesday question completely and didn't give an answer when asked if he would be in charge of Lincoln on Saturday. He gave something about hunger of young players at Lincoln tonight instead. That's about it and I think they are considering us given he only talked about where he wasn't going and failed to confirm he'd manage them at the weekend.

Bruce was given that control, no reason it wouldn't be on offer to the Cowleys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Then and there in the interview he could have said “no we aren’t interested in the job”. He said it would have to be the “perfect opportunity” there is something in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
