What about the season before where he has none of them (other than a very young Aribo)? Does he not deserve some credit for bringing those players in, getting the best out of them or developing/improving them? Other than Taylor none of those players had done well before working under BowyerSELR_addicks said:The guy lived off a period where he was given Gallagher, Bielik, Taylor, Cullen, Grant, Aribo to work with.
He's not doing the same with this lot.Or even the covid league 1 season where it fell apart he still had us nearer the play offs than any manager we’ve had since0 - 
            Think it’s pretty clear Bowyer had a huge falling out with TS which affected the last few months. He was forced to play Charlie Barker and Pratley in defence too. I wouldn’t be delighted if he came back but he’s got just enough credit in the bank for me4

            If it's Bowyer that tells me to be even more cynical about these owners tbh11

            Bowyer - that is lazy recruitment (if true)4

            I mean I did enjoy the fish GIF announcing a player…3

            Bowyer’s post match pressers were the best I’ve seen for a long time, most of it raw emotion and saying what he sees. There was no put on a happy face and pretend we might of won a game when we absolutely should not have (Holden, Adkins, Garner).Call me old fashioned but I preferred that, not some media trained response which could be copy and pasted each week. He’s a massive character who’s been dealt two shite jobs and made something of one of them. It’s a yes from me.25

The season where he had Amos, DaSilva, Konsa, Fosu, Grant, Mavididi and Magennis instead?NabySarr said:

Didn’t know that about Gallagher, fair enough.SELR_addicks said:
He said himself he had no idea who Gallagher was before he joined.BR7_addick said:
So maybe bowyer is good at spotting good players then? Surely he’s allowed some credit for that.SELR_addicks said:The guy lived off a period where he was given Gallagher, Bielik, Taylor, Cullen, Grant, Aribo to work with.

Half of 'the youth he helped' came through under Robinson or out on loan but Bowyer gets the credit.What about the others like Cullen, Bielik, Taylor does he not deserve credit?1 - 
            I’m warming to the idea.2

            May be in the minority but I'd love bowyer. He will get them trying at the very least. I'd pay to see his reaction to Kirk training.16

            Can we have Gallen back as well? They worked well as a team.5

I don’t agree. He knows the club, has got us promoted out of this division.lancashire lad said:Bowyer - that is lazy recruitment (if true)1 -

            Bowyer being appointed would show a lack of ambition.16

            I think there are massive positives with Lee Bowyer but he also has the air of an unexplored grenade with the pin out.10

            To be honest I think it’s what some of our players need! The arm round the shoulder approach clearly doesn’t work with some of the players! Bowyer will relish having Dobbo as well!!7

Nigel Adkins, Ben Garner and Dean Holden had never been at Cafc before but Powell and Bowyer certainly have returned before0 - 
            One thing for sure is it won't be Lee Johnson, that's 99% sure as CM said this to me himself. in Order of Preference for me
Darren Moore
Lee Bowyer

He was alright until Sandgaard came in. Led us to the championship, only a ridiculous set of circumstances took us down, through the EDI x 2 nonsense . He lost it towards the end, but who else would have wanted toJaShea99 said:Bowyer being appointed would show a lack of ambition.

I think he was lucky he was the manager during our best period of recruitment in the last decade.ShootersHillGuru said:

            If he has just been appointed, how many people realistically would know? 5? 10, max? Yet Twitter is awash with people who “had a text”. Right.2

            Politically for the current owners it would placate a lot of the fanbase. I have to say with some of the others mentioned I would breathe a sigh of relief, my only issue is how Bowyer would work with Andy Scott, Rodwell and C M, also how long is Bowyer's short fuse if players are not brought in now or in January.2
