It’s DC’s club and I’m grateful for the amount he’s invested and the time he’s spent. But we really do lack a leadership figure at the club. A statement like this goes along way.

bubbleowl Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I cant believe our fans are wetting themselves over a manager who has done well at one small club. What evidence does anyone have that the cowley's are the next big thing I know what our fans are hoping to copy the snorters but wilder proved himself at a lower level with many clubs. If DC had appointed the cowley's and had they failed people on here would have absolutely hammered him. Get over this and support monk a man who knows this league rather than a massive gamble in the cowley's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Only Wednesday fans could spin another team getting a manager into a negative against our own Chairman/Club. Some of the stuff I’ve seen and heard since Monk was announced is a disgrace, it only serves to harm the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree with the bile that gets chucked around, but no one can convince me that this club is in a particularly good place atm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I’m not feeling envious at all, not expecting him to be successful at Huddersfield. Why do people think that a manager, who’s highlight of their playing career was playing in the 6th tier, and only notable management experience is a promotion from the 5th and 4th tiers, would be able to walk into a second tier club and completely turn things around from the bottom up. There’s nothing there to suggest that’s likely.. particularly going into somewhere like Huddersfield which is basically a sinking ship. He’s going to have to learn so much on the job.. people who think he can do it through sheer force of personality, being ultra prepared and confident clearly think that the experience is unimportant. Monk is the same age and has done much more in the game at the right end of the football pyramid. Let’s get behind him, we’re far more likely to get to the play offs under Monk than under Cowley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people claiming we were ever in for Cowley, or ‘beaten’ to him, are the people that were saying it was nailed on he was coming to Wednesday last week. It’s just nonsense from people trying to cover their arses. Look at the people that are verified and respected journalists. They all say we never spoke to Cowley. Look at Cowley himself, 2 days after we’d actually approached Monk, he says he’s not spoken to Wednesday. It’s just spin and now people are using it as a stick to beat the club with.

sonofbert2 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Huddersfield have spent over 60m on just 7 players the last two seasons - a good few of 'em are French - imagine the egos, poorbastards having to be in fuckingHuddersfield....and we think we've got problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. Just my guess that we made an approach but they were put off due to control issues. I think they order the bog roll at Lincoln. Cowley may not have spoke with Wednesday, but he might have spoken with our intermediaries. Just a hunch. I’ve had serious concerns for a long time. DC has spent a well intentioned c£100m. We are in a lower league position, a training ground with limited improvements and a ground that can barely get a safety certificate. We’ve got a better team, but our rivals have got better teams than they had when DC came in. None of that is spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Good to see the knives are out already though. Monk was appointed two days ago and already some are seemingly waiting for the first defeat, dropped point etc., to go absolute schizo and tell us they were right all along. When did we become such a delusional set of fans? I swear it wasn't always like this, but perhaps I'm wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
