I know you are pretty measured when it comes to these things. More aimed at some of our resident doom-mongers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 And...Huddersfield fans won't like the direct football that the Cowley's serve up after playing possession football for the last three years.

I think it’s a steady appointment but don’t think he will work wonders here. Cowley would have been interesting and a gamble that could really transform the club. Which is what is needed. Such an easy argument to suggest people who have a different opinion want Wednesday to fail. I just post how I see our situation. That’s all.

Bit worrying he rejected us for a side bottom of the league. Their results have obviously been very impressive, but there are so many ‘next big thing in mamagement’ never making the step up.

Shezza Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 2 hours ago, SkegHubro said: i mean, compare DC’s quote to Huddersfield’s quote today: “ Chairman Phil Hodgkinson added: “From the outset, [head of football operations] David Webb and I knew how important this next appointment is for the club. We undertook a very detailed and thorough process to identify the right person to lead the first team forward, first outlining the qualities we were looking for in the right candidate and then establishing which managers matched them. “Our research, due diligence and work resulted in a shortlist of four candidates, and Danny Cowley was number one. Our character references revealed a man who is one of the most detailed managers around; meticulous in his preparation, and highly regarded by his peers.” Are you really going to put any relevance into a quote from the Huddersfield chairman?

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 It is the very law of sod that we are playing them on Sunday. One thing for sure, if they still had that Patrick Stewart in charge we would have boldly gone and whacked em off the face of the galaxy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes people think they’re so progressive? I just think it’s a route the club haven’t explored yet. I’ve read a lot about the Cowley’s and how they operate. Very impressive and progressive. Other clubs have had success taking an alternative model and I would just like to see our club try it. But I think our chairman is just desperate to get us up. I don’t think he’s looking at the bigger picture. I think the position we are in right now with the playing staff, we should take a different route and start a fresh. Not sure Monk with Bullen as his assistant is really that revolutionary. Like I’ve said. Hope I’m wrong. I think Monk will do a steady job, but whilst you charge high prices and say during a press conference say ‘I only think of top two’ - pressure is immediately applied from the off. It’s clear Monk is seen as another quick fix under the same model of management. The knives will be out after a few dodgy results and the fans will be blamed for being impatient. But the expectation has cascaded down from the very top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a mid-table team and nearly got them in the play offs. Boro...they seem to be in a permanent state of decline, though, yeah, it didn't work out. The Brum fans absolutely loved him from what I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
