It's like panning for gold in this thread. But there's stuff in here. Anyway Rusty, we want more detail now. Did he cower as you stood over him? Did he apologise? Or chew gum aggressively like Fergie? An who's that little bald chap in the photo? Reminds me of a poster on here who chins people with walking sticks.. That is Craig Edwards, a notoriously hard man non-league manager. In fairness they both listened and were good as gold in the second half, presumably because I'd told them that if they so much as looked at each other they'd be sitting in the stands Danny thanked me after as had it come to a fight there would only have been one winner ..!

owls maniac Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) No meaning to be funny, but why on earth would he turn down Huddersfield but come here?

Take your point and Lincoln/Huddersfield agreed compo terms but DC said the job wasn't right. Only he knows why. 'In advanced talks' says to me he's interested. Please Please but only time will tell.

They're looking for the right opportunity where they believe they can build something, long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my understanding too, which was why I was so sceptical about the chances of them coming to Wednesday. It's a high pressure job with big expectations, a chairman known for being something of a maverick, and FFP hanging over us. We don't exactly scream long term project.

I would be very surprised if they saw us as that “perfect opportunity”. Be disappointed if we do miss out on them. Think they will be top managers.

It's a high pressure job with big expectations, a chairman known for being something of a maverick, and FFP hanging over us. We don't exactly scream long term project. Relatively speaking we have a large stadium and fan base (untapped potential where crowds are concerned). We have a decent squad that should be able to challenge for play offs. Chairman has shown a willingness to spend as much as he can, and the assumption is that he would do so if promotion were to be achieved. I think a number of those things are in advance of Huddersfield (not meaning any disrespect) if you look beyond the current situation. And, if they're ambitious and believe in their ability, it's surely a positive that they would want to tackle a high pressure job with big expectations rather than one that had a more immediate safety to it.
