Quoted from LH
The Cowley Brothers sounds like an 60s singing duo or a removal firm or something. If you thought the nicknames Scott and Hurst got were bad there's a ready made, obvious one waiting for them!


Sound like 60's Eastend enforcers. The types that did nasty things for the Kray twins.

Do we imagine that we are a big enough club to just waltz into Lincoln and take their management duo, who are mere months into a 2 year deal? I think some are over estimating our pulling power.

I think if he packed in teaching to go full time in the Conference he will pack in the Conference to go full time in the League. If you are a manager in the League you have further to fall.

Sounds good to me would rather have an up and coming manager who wants to make a name for himself than someone who has got a lot of failure behind them I.e Wilcox, Stubbs and Mills
Also can't see Adkins or Evans being motivated by the Town job.
Best 3 Town managers imo last 25 years have come from Kettering, Scarborough and Boston.

People need to be realistic. The pool is very small. If you want someone who hasn't failed somewhere else then these are about your only option.

Look at the mess Newport got into when they took the big name and Terry Butcher signed a load of players including LJL. In 6 months they were bottom of the league and he was sacked. It's easy to let your heart rule your head like JF did with Newell I suspect.

Are these two worth a shout? Well, if you look at the choices, they have to be, don't they?

Quoted from Grantley
Lincoln this season: P16 F29 A14.

Hardly defensive is it? Maybe they played that way with Braintree because they knew their squads limitations?


Most of those goals were scored in August that's before they could get their plans across , a bit like us this season with most of our goals coming early in the season

Lincoln last 11 league and cup games  P 11     F 11      A  8

Hardly free scoring now.

Why do we need to be free scoring?

Cowley as made it very clear he wants to manage in the FL that opportunity is doubtful with Lincoln , village rovers will win the league and daggers barrow tranmere and others all look very capable.  Yes their in the mix but as we all know football is a ruthless business
