Quoted from jamesgtfc

I was very surprised that the Cowleys went to Lincoln before we played FGR in the final. If we lost that game I think Hurst was gone and they would have been my preference.

With 4 successive play-off campaigns and a long-serving manager, on paper we would have been the better choice.

Yeah I think if we had lost to  Braintree and they had lost in the final it is possible we would have gone for cowley too. No way would we have held on to them as long as Lincoln did tho. Look what happened when  Hurst won promotion.

Right place right time for the Cowleys as Lincoln had new Directors and investment which coincided with their appointment and they were allowed to rule the roost which from what I hear nearly brought about their downfall prior to their Huddersfield move.

In reality under JF they would not have been allowed to spend £4K a week on the likes of Frecklington, Bostwick and one or two others. That said they may still have been a success as whether or not we like their approach to the game they can’t half organise a team and deliver results. Best chance for them to get higher up to the Championship since 82/83, ruined by Gilbert Blades infamous players meeting at the Grand Hotel, and despite living here for over 40 years not sure my ears could stand the gloating of the Chimps fans should that happen.

I'm sure they would have been a success at conference level they clearly knew what they were doing, even with part time Braintree. With a rolling 6 month contract they would never have stuck around once we were back in the league tho, would have been poached quicker than Hurst was.

To be fair though, the players on £4k per week didn't come until they earned the thick end of £2m getting to an FA Cup Quarter Final.

But that was when they were still in non- league so the likes of Bostwick joined at the start of their L2 return

Cowley's??

That's hilarious 😂

When he was at the gimps you lot used to rip the urine out of them and their style.

I have never heard of a bunch of fans so fickle has you fishy folk.

Why would the Cowley's want to go to Grimsby anywa?
An awful little town with a chavvy seaside resort, awful owners and supporters that turn on them with a few bad results
Also the Cowley's are massive lovers of Lincoln

Anyhow, their style surely doesn't suit the Grimsby way
