But the footballing experts on here claim its hoofball, these same people backed MM, whilst telling us of little knowledge that nice football doesn’t get you out of this league.
So with that in mind, might they do ok in this league? |  |

I just don’t see the fuss about them personally. They clearly have got something about them, and are doing a good job with Lincoln, but do we really want another couple of years of football as to what we’ve just had/are having?
I keep seeing the Star going on about the ‘Ipswich way’, but they (along with McCarthy), are not the answer, in my opinion, of course. |  |

this is what i'm asking, ive seen countless posts stating micks football is perfectly fine for this league, and if those two play the same then surely those fans would be happy with that?
but of course i'd like to see a whole new approach also. I pray its not kuqi tho, I think id rather Butcher and he's last on my list! | |

As long as they don't have an obsession about matching up opposition and stopping them from playing I'm not fussed at all. It's all about scoring goals and winning matches and they seem to be fine with that. |  | | |

I think it can be effective when played the right way, like the play off season. It was long balls, but it had a purpose. Get it to Murph and have people around him (McGoldrick, especially first half of season), or have Sears play off him (like the second half of the season). See also Leicester. Our problem is that we’ve been playing like Murph has still been here the past couple of seasons, when he hasn’t!
I’m with you though, I want a different approach all together now. That’s why I’d love Mowbray here, have us playing the right way as well as having a slight connection with the club (and he comes with Venus).
Agree about Kuqi, maybe as a youth coach or something, but not First Team Manager! | |

You can play a direct style and still entertain if it's done with a purpose,with passion and with a clear plan, rather than just knock about at the back then just go long with no real plan. You'll see a Cowley team full of passion and I'm sure he'd bring the crowds back to Portman road as he has done at Lincoln. Hes doing something right up there so yeah he's unproven at this level but he has to be a better choice than a lot of the usual dinosaurs mentioned. |  | | |
| So the question really is..... on 21:26 - Apr 9 with 3028 views | Bloots |
.....do they play better hoofball than McCarthy?
Difficult to say really given that they've had less than one season in professional football.
Probably not though. |  |

I have to say, I don’t know much about them.
I’m only going by the two games I saw against them last season and that other people claim it’s hoofing.
If we are going for effective but bad to watch football, mick is the best man for that role.
I’d prefer an exciting apppintment that plays decent football. |  |

I think they could definitely do ok in this league, just after what one of the main criticisms of Mick having been his style it seems a strange move.
They've done an incredible job at Lincoln, and deserve all the plaudits they are getting - but it is hoof balls, cynical tactics and bullying football - much more so than Mick who generally plays very fair, maybe sometimes to our detriment. |  |

If if they play hoofball and turn out to be worse than Mick how long before we hear Cowley bros your football is sh1t ?
We just need someone who plays attractive football preferably with itfc connections |  |

Couldn't agree more ITFCJoe and this brand of football ultimately finds it's limit and shelf life. There's no doubt the Cowley's have done terrifically well but it is limited, not pretty and a very one dimensional approach - Wimbledon FC from 30 years ago, not really that progressive?!

Depends why the owner wants a change in manager though, doesn't it?
Is it...
1. To appease the fans
2. To get promoted (the only way Evans will ever see a return)
Whilst seemingly an odd appointment given 'style', a most logical appointment given Evans non changing approach to funding the club.
If Evans was genuinely worried about style, falling attendance, he would have acted a long time ago. |  |

The owner needs a manager that can deliver promotion, everything else is secondary. | |

I might have made this up, but don't they have an itfc connection? family members as ST holders? | |

They make Mick's football look cultured. Given that the style of play hasn't been good enough for us under Mick this would be a poor appointment and not what we need. |  |

Its not about what we want though Herbs. It's about what Evans needs. | |

They won't get us up playing that way though. They're not likely to get Lincoln out of League 2 this season either. | |

They have a Sunday league level lump up front and just boot it long to him. They're dirty and cynical too. Pretty horrible to watch all round. | |

They've generally taken a season or two to gain promotion with Concord and Braintree for example, they got Lincoln promoted first season.
The point is, given our budget constraints they probably have as good a chance as anyone getting us up. Can you see McLaren working his magic with us and our budget for example? Or Steijn with our technically inferior squad and little budget to work with? | |

But have had consistent success with three different clubs at various levels....which is my point Herbs. It isn't about what you and I want but what Evans needs. | |

If we're not going up irrespective of who takes over then it comes back to style, which rules them out. Do we really want them coaching the likes of Dozzell and Nydam? Morris and Folami wouldn't get a look in. I can't see a case for them in Evans' or anyone else's eyes at this stage. | |

They've had one season in the football league, mate. I don't see Evans being interested. | |

The question, Herbs, is who is more likely to succeed given the constraints of working at Town?
There is an argument that the Cowleys are more likely to deliver than, say, McClaren or Steijn. | |
