vulture_squadron Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Do you think we went for Monk because he was prepared to work with the staff Bruce put in place? (Transfer guys and Strudwick) Cowleys sound like they would want total control. Probably makes sense if Monk is prepared to work with the structure in place. That and has good experience for a young manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than Laudrup could attain. But how much of that was down to Laudrup building the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but when you're 1-0 up at home to wigan and the opposition are down to 10 men and you lose the game knowing that a win will almost guarantee top 2, I'd call that choking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelknievel Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I’m glad we’ve hired Monk, because it could have been much, much worse... Zola was favourite at one point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Just what has Monk achieved as a manager ?.The cowley boys will get promotion again and will manage in the premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelknievel Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Interestingly the Cowley’s are back at 1/5 to take the udders job? Did they turn them down thinking we were coming in for them and now changed their mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see how they fare when they move on from Lincoln but not convinced they can deal with big ego footballers you get at Championship clubs and above.

Guest Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Cowleys will be another Nathan Jones at Stoke situation when/if they move to a bigger club Fact he turned down Huddersfield because he feels safe at Lincoln tells you all you need to know about how confident he is about going to a bigger club And nah... i ain’t buying none of that ‘job to be done here’ ‘Lincoln is a special club’ Nonsense, there’s no loyalty like that in football these days, you don’t turn chances like Huddersfield down because a few bad results and nobody might come knocking again for them Edited September 7, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it really be a surprise if they went there now. Something must have happened for them to rule themselves out but now back as massive favourites. Think they would be a great coup for any Championship club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not turn down a failure payment rich championship club to stay at Lincoln, not in today’s game , absolutely no sense at all in Cowleys decision to turn them down and to me it just screams no ambition and a lack of confidence in been able to do a job at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have a good grasp of big players’ mentality. The Cowleys were unproven in this aspect. Totally agree, but strange this post has been met with such approval when 90% of people on here said they wanted them to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if managing in the Premier League is the ambition, then Monk had already taken charge of nearly 70 games in the Premier League by the time he was 36.

Personally hope they stay at Lincoln and don’t leave for Huddersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
