Well, we haven't looked at the Cowleys because we haven't been in need of a manager.
You don't just get rid of someone who, in two full seasons, has got us promoted and then lead us to our highest league finish in nearly 20 years, and the quarter final of an FA cup.
For what it’s worth, I think at some point we will have the Cowley brothers at the helm. Unsure why, just think our paths are destined to cross.

Absolutely and sooner than some might think

Ex Lincoln player under the Cowley’s, who enjoyed promotion and cup run with them, not too complimentary about their tactics and team talks ( some very bizarre like dividing areas of the pitch up into different chocolate brands “ get into Twix and avoid Kit Kat”) and clearly they haven’t had much success since leaving the Chimps so it’s a no from me, not that we are looking.

Like I say, it’s based purely on nothing but a gut feeling. Took the Huddersfield job post Lincoln while they was experiencing their Premier League hangover… That was always going to be a difficult job for anyone. Then went to Pompey and had an above 50% win percentage. Have also been continuously praised for their innovative methods & have a knack for winning. Hopefully, it’s a long way away before we have to think about Hurst's successor. However, I’d suspect unemployed these would be high on our wanted list - when that day comes UTM

That chocolate bar trick was purely to get Matt Rhead to run around in training

I used to love giving Rhead stick BUT he was a very effective striker in the National League in particular big strong and held the ball up bringing others in to play. If him and Hearn had played together up top that would have been some partnership to watch Regarding the Cowley boys I know the Imps love em and understandably so but I always thought it was their take on long ball % football. Not for me

Rightly or wrongly depending on your viewpoint the owners trust Hurst implicitly and unless disaster strikes (relegation) I can see him becoming the longest serving manager at one club in the football league.
Admittedly the churn of managers is ridiculous so it wouldn't be the honour it once was, but the owners say they trust Hurst on the football side whilst they concentrate on the business and that seems a good model to follow.
We all hope it works out but I think personally there will have to be off field plans made public if we are to keep fans involved in the "project" as this league will be harder to get promoted from than some envisaged, me included.

For what it's worth, i think Hurst's achievement of getting Shrewsbury to a league one playoff final trumps anything the Cowley's have achieved so far.
Time will tell if he's the man to hopefully get us out of league 2!

For what it's worth the Cowley sides remind me of that team down South from a few years ago......Thugs United

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.
