    If it is Cowley presumably we have to employ his brother too. So will somebody get chopped if that happens?

    The bookies now have Cowley as favourite. 
    I’m not against it, but they haven’t done the business in the last few jobs.
    Only in their last job, They've always done the business before that.

    Bookies don’t care. They just adjust the odds to reflect the betting. Simples.

    Yes, you can't have one without the other. I believe that although Danny is head coach/manager and Nicky assistant they share the money equally.

    Yeah that's kind of what I meant.

    Would love to know how much has been waged on the new manager over the last couple of weeks. Its probably only a matter of about a fiver here or there, and it all changes again

    Well Senda and Shimell have already gone.

    Don’t forget Senda left too so I expect whoever is appointed to bring in their own assistant.

    I don't want The Cows, not trying to milk it but I feel Darren would offer Moore.
  • Interesting that Warburton has sneaked into the odds

    Second interviews going on in the next couple days, odds at this stage mean nothing
    Is it normal to have second interviews for football management jobs? It's not like normal forms of recruitment, where you have no idea what their track record in the job actually is, as you can see the results on the pitch for their previous roles. And the football grapevine will give you lots of background information as well.

    Would the Cowley brothers be taken seriously by the players? I don’t know a lot about them, but I get the impression they might lack authority or gravitas. At least with Appleton you get the sense that no one would be taking the piss.

    I can't imagine it's THAT unusual. One round to whittle out the prime contenders from the rest, then another round with the shortlisted few - like many other jobs.

    It's more likely not to be a question about ability etc at the second round but when you start talking money, clauses, length of contract etc and maybe start playing the candidates against each other a bit.

    Agree but I think Appleton comes across even worse. Has an odd way about him, a bit wet.

    At least it'll be after the Pizza Trophy game. Not sure about Cawley interviewing Cowley after Crawley.
    On the back of having to type up his report about the game with Thomas’s, Campbell’s & Taylors and then Miles & Tracey walking in!!  🤯😂

    I understand where you are coming from as they don't have that tough bloke aura about them

    But as @Cafc43v3r says, if any of our players were taking the piss then that's a player issue and they don't belong here.

    I would be quite optimistic about the Cowleys, experienced management team who will have an eye for a player. 

    I would be concerned we would become a club who are a bit stuck in this league like Portsmouth have been, but a bit of stability wouldn't hurt and we don't have the pull for a big manager anymore so it's either a manager like him or a gamble

    Dean Smith? Ex Brentford. 
    John Terry as number two at the Valley. No thanks.
