Mark Sampson who was controversially sacked as England Manager for the Lionesses has taken over as Caretaker Manager
Going to be curious to see how he does - Was impressed with him for England, dont think Phil Neville has done any better and think Sampson could do quite well in the Men's game

It will be interesting how he does, he does bring a fair amount of baggage with him but on the pitch he did an excellent job
For all the hype around Neville, all he's really done is kept us at the same level, i.e. semi finalists
Looking very likely Cowley will take over at Huddersfield. A risky move for him, though looking at the map at least Huddersfield is fairly near to Lincoln, so he won't have to move house!

Hudds to Lincs .. 60 miles .. I have a feeling that Cowley still lives in Essex .. IF he goes, it will, of course, be a right nasty blow for the Red Imps
"Football League World" on twitter (so could well be rubbish) is suggesting that Michael Flynn will be Lincoln's first choice as a replacement for the Cowleys - Doubt its true but wouldnt want it to happen either as been impressed with how he's doing @ Newport

An attractive job though would take a lot to attract Flynn from Newport, giving his strong connections there.
It'd always be nice for a club, if their sought after gaffer leaves for perceived greener pastures, as with Luton, there is a Mick Harford type to take over in a seamless way .. alas, this is not often the case ..
Nathan Jones is a prime example that sometimes you shouldnt leave for a so called bigger team, and I fear for the Cowley brothers.
Nathan was high flying at Luton left for Stoke and his old team are ahead of his current team, the way Huddersfield are going in 1 year I could see Lincoln ahead of Huddersfield

If Stoke were to sack Nathan Jones now, he'd be the perfect person to take over at Lincoln!

had a convo along these lines with a local friend of mine .. it's all down to 2 things, cash and ambition .. a t m Hudds have a ground big enough and an owner rich enough to still have Prem Lge ambitions .. Lincoln is a great little club, alas, it lacks the size and wealth to probably ever get to the Prem without massive investment .. the Championship is probably the realistic limit for the Imps, and without the Cowleys, I fear that they would struggle there .. be very nice to be wrong though .. short term though, the Imps could pass the Terriers at the end of the season .. Terriers down, Imps up ((:>) .. we will see

True but no self respecting manager will ever think "oh i won't go to that bigger club with a bigger transfer budget, bigger stadium, bigger potential, higher salary etc" in case i fail. They would naturally have the belief and back themselves to do well. Same as most players nearly always want to move when approached by bigger clubs.
The Cowley's have been a success at 3 clubs now, so no reason why they can't continue. The biggest issue for them of course is reversing form and morale, and getting through to the January window.

"We don’t know if an opportunity as good as this one will come around again"
Slightly surprised if they really mean that, chances are other Championship vacancies will come up this season
just PR talk for 'we got an offer we couldn't refuse'. If (e.g.) the offer had come from Derby C, the expectations would have been really high .. Hudds ? any win a t m will be priceless .. not saying the Cowleys are on a very sure long term thing, but for now, the Terriers job is probably about as good as it gets .. still loads of para money to pay the boys a big salary and to buy players cum Christmas
Football is very fickle, turn down a chance and another might not come up
Players are reluctant to turn down big moves because injury could leave them being unable to live off the wages for their careers
Same in a way with Managers, if the Cowley's have a turn of results @ Lincoln which sees them suddenly down the bottom they're not going to be touched by a Championship and like Derek Adams found out @ Plymouth - May even get the sack
Nicky and I have a burning ambition to challenge ourselves at the highest possible level. We don’t know if an opportunity as good as this one will come around again being second choice behind Lee Bowyer.
the Cowleys are sure to take a couple of the Imps in January
Not sure how many can step up, seeing that many of them would have been L2 players last season and Lincoln play a direct style which might not work in the Championship?

Might be a very brief appointment
Daily Mail are reporting that the FA are investigating Sampson after he apparently made a racial stereotype comment over the summer when he advised against the club signing a Nigerian Defender
Edit: There again it partly looks as though the Daily Mail are up to their old tricks as per the Stevenage statement

Of course these days a resignation could be nothing more than an owner letting a manager save face

Could have got him back in January seeing they know him from the current Lincoln side
