If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

They were clearly waiting for this kind of opportunity when they were tipped to take over us, Bradford etc...

Didn't want to move away from their family base.

Suits them from a personal perspective.

Great appointment for Colchester without a doubt they are excellent managers. As mentioned it suits them from a family perspective.

Danny's daughter plays for Chelsea and has just represented England at U15's, I would expect them to move up the table now.

Danny Cowley is on his way back down the leagues. His pioneering 'data & stick loads of crosses and corners' into the box method which worked at Lincoln is now a busted flush. He failed at Huddersfield and he failed at billionaire backed Portsmouth. What makes people think he's gonna turn around the fortunes of a floundering Colchester side? The guy has never been in this position before (joining a financially screwed club with no fans in a dead out of town stadium losing millions every season currently sat one place above the relegation places in the middle of the January transfer window), no idea why anyone is so confident he'll save them or is sat around proclaiming going "TOWN SHOULD HAVE GOT HIM".

Little to no success above League 2 in the past, they've probably found their level

I’d be over the moon with that if I were a Colchester fan.

Good appointment on paper for sure, then again football isn't played on paper it's played on grass or not as time might tell in Colchester.

Odd career trajectory though.

Quoted from Poojah

So would I and geographically it makes total sense but unless Colchester has a hidden budget we are not aware of I am very surprised they’ve taken this job. Colchester is not a sleeping club, in the way that Lincoln and Grimsby are, in so far that it’s highly unlikely that will be able to treble their home attendances, and, certainly at Lincoln they had total control and spent pretty heavily (but well) on players salaries during their promotion years.

That said they did wonders at Braintree on very little so may be back to basics for them and pretty sure this will ensure Colchester are safe from relegation.
