Look, the Cowleys aren’t my preference for the job at all. I’ve nailed my colours firmly to the mast for who I’d like. BUT, can we please not call them the PE teachers from the word go if they get the job? It’s really disrespectful - we can at least give them a go
How about you can only call them PE teachers if 1) you have been a PE teacher and 2) you have managed over 400 games in the EFL?

That sounds fair?
Do the 400-games count from the comfort of my armchair?
I just can’t be bothered to read it over and over for for 8 months until they get sacked. It’s really not funny and unoriginal. We had the same thing with Adkins and ‘walking is great’/being a physio.
Expecting statements from Cowley and Appleton tomorrow to say that on reflection they’ve decided to give it a miss. Just hours later, Karel Fraeye is spotted at St Pancras.

Tonight highlights further our need for a tactical coach who can set up and organise a team, not a manager who tries to set up a good morale and live off it
Someone at the game is just watching the bookies odds…
We’ve had Bowyer, Cowley, Challinor and Appleton all go very short odds and then immediately drift back out as soon as the next whisper comes along and someone sticks £20 on.

Not sure anyone has been as low as 4/6 before now though.
Scott was talking about bringing in a performance manager in one of his early interviews - wonder if we’re getting one of them as well and if so, what will Scott do ? Guessing he will review the performance of the performance manager ?
I will never understand how an interview is going to help you find the right manager. It just makes the people doing the interviews feel important. Different skills are required to do a good interview and be a good football manager.

Probably helps if u can talk about players and tactics though

Some are saying 'no thanks' to certain names based on their past teams reputations for style of play, but given where we are now, is anything less important?
Whoever gets the job needs to focus on organizing the defence better, getting us fitter, making us harder to beat and on winning more games than losing. That's all and it's more than enough for now.
Better quality signings won't come in future if results don't improve as today's player knows us to be an established average L1 club regardless of our past. I doubt any teams in the football league fear playing us and there isn't a single one I'm confident we'd beat at present, not even Pompey!

(I am in no way comparing Cowley to Mourinho)
