He'll be racking his brains but the list hasn't changed since Bruce left. If it gets critical I'm sure he'll gamble but we're not there yet. A bit of patience might just be the key.

The problem is, nothings changed since cabbage head left in terms of who's available. Should we jump in and appoint somebody we're not sure about or is it worth sticking with Bully until the right man comes along. There's a lot of hissy fitting in here tonight but if we lose our heads we could make a disastrous appointment. Just pick the manager and approach the club DC to start discussions. Its not hard. It will cost us but thats what the compensations for. Just get on with FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 13 minutes ago, striker said: Rowett, Monk, Neil, Cook...all decent Championship managers. I think Monk has been tainted by the allegations over his close involvement with his agent, the others are employed, but Rowett would win me £120 All pretty meh though compared to the Cowleys, the more I read about them, the more I think they would be the most exciting appointment in terms of recent achievements and building a promotion winning team. Appointed at Lincoln in 2015 in the non league, 2 promotions as champions since and now looking like serious contenders in league 1. I accept the lack of Championship experience, but these lads know how to achieve promotions and win titles, no messing about with the plays offs. One things for certain they wouldn't accept a performance like today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Seen a rumour growing that he's not appointing because he's selling. Can't see it myself as he wouldn't get his cash back or anywhere near Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is do we appoint one of the available managers with not much of a CV? Or do we wait. I'm not saying either way is right, but when bully was doing ok, the list was full of has been failures. The list hasn't changed. A bad appointment could be disastrous. 3 minutes ago, archieswfc said: I've been myself mate. It wasn't good. No doubt.

The list hasn't changed. A bad appointment could be disastrous. As a reasonable sized football club its about time we went after other clubs managers and not try and be honourable and only look at out of work ones. I wanted to say "massive" club, but at present we don't act like one. Like all Owls I'm bloody frustrated with the lack of leadership from the top. So please Mr Chairman act now and go and get a top quality manager by using some of the compensation we got for Bruce and stop being Mr Nicey Nicey and do. to others what has been done to us. I don't give a throw about other clubs losing their manager to us, all I care about is my club!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we appoint someone else who won't do a good job or do we wait for a good candidate to come along? Bullen can be put back into his old job at any time. A new manager who fails is a tricker situation. If DC rate someone then go for it, but if he doesn't then he does right to wait imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I actually feel for Bullen, he never applied for the job and was handed the reigns just before the season started when the last manager and coaches cleared off. Results wise up until today we were doing OK and I didn't think we needed to rush things. Todays scattergun approach to team selection, tactics and substitutions have convinced me we need to get someone else in charge of team selection and tactics. If there are no stand out candidates long term we need to get someone in for the rest of the season as we have looked like relegation fodder the last few games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Plum Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Get the Lincoln manager in, give him a chance. Well worth a punt, watched his interview in midweek, impressive. Sorry to say though it needs a clean sweep, Bullen needs to go now, and when I say go, I mean leave the club.

Very harsh on a man who stepped up to the plate when asked after others jumped ship. I don't think he is the right man to take us forward but I dothank him for doing his best and really hope he gets his old job back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cowleys have had a terrific run of success and certainly should be under consideration. Can't say that I have seen much of Lincoln over the last 2 years, did watch their great cup run a couple of years ago and Lincoln played quite a long ball game with a real battering ram of a centre forward. Do they still play that same style ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really needs to go and do something else. That's not being harsh at all, he's doing a job (and for some time) which most of us would kill for, harsh? No way. 1 minute ago, NYowl said: The Cowleys have had a terrific run of success and certainly should be under consideration.

They gave Everton a game the other night and I think Everton are going for this cup this year, shame we'll knock them out in the next round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no such person; at some stage we have to take a gamble on someone cos Bullen is not the right man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
