He's been consistently superb for years now. I think he'll make the step up no problem.

I never know what to think of managers 'moving up'. When we were looking to replace Hurst, I was happy that we appointed someone on the up, rather than someone on the slippery slope down.

But the less said about Bignot's tenure, the better.

I'm surprised Nathan Jones hasn't been a success at Stoke. He did such a good job at Luton. There seems to be a massive gap in standard between the Championship and League 1.

It's a bit of a lottery. Some managers only do well at one club (just look at how badly Buckley did at West Brom when given more resources than we ever could). Eddie Howe at Bournemouth (unsuccessful at Burnley).

Like previous posters have said, the Cowleys had relative success at different clubs before they joined Lincoln. Maybe Danny's skilled at transferring that wherever he goes — not everyone is good at that.

On paper it looks like a sound appointment by Huddersfield. It's a step up for Cowley... it feels right, but in the same breath I wouldn't be surprised if they end up where Stoke are right now.

Roy Hodgson has managed (successfully) around Europe, but struggled at Liverpool.  I won’t mention England.

now confirmed. Michael Jolley now the 31st longest serving manager in the 92, and he's only been with us for 2.5 years!

I agree with a lot of this.  Jones should never have left Luton, and I thought so at the time.  Luton are on the up, Stoke are in decline.  It's completely feasible that we'll look at Luton as being a bigger club than Stoke in the not-too-distant future.

As for Lincoln, they're a club that they've had incredible success at, and it's success that their fans have never had before, so they've flocked in numbers.  You have to give them huge credit for this.  However, Huddersfield are a Championship club, yes, but they now have ideas of grandeur, just like Stoke do.  They've now both been replaced in the Premier League and neither are being missed - they could easily 'do a Leeds' and never return.

I personally don't see Lincoln-to-Huddersfield as being a seismic leap at all.  I think it's a mistake, but we shall see.  It's not like Huddersfield is one of those "when they come knocking, you can't say 'no'" type of clubs.

I think the parachute payments and the fact Huddersfield kept to a strict budget in the Prem may have a lot to do with it.
