Vital Reserves Team
If they are available, to not reappoint the Cowleys would be a mistake.
The decision now isn’t just purely on footballing terms. The last two appointments seem to have created a disconnect between the club and the fans, which needs to be fixed through the club re-energising the fan base in the way that the Cowleys did so successful.
I am not convinced the club has ‘net’ moved forward overall since the Cowleys. Yes we have better infrastructure and possibly a more appealing model for investors but something that money can’t buy is the goodwill of the fans, which is absolutely paramount to Lincoln’s success. Sadly, this seems to be ebbing, possibly due to a few years of cynical football and bland characters running the team.
On the Facebook page, c.65% of fans (of 600 or so) have voted to say they’d want the Cowleys back. There’s also clearly a desire on here by a majority of us for the Cowleys to return.
On this basis, if possible, I think the club need to either 1) distance themselves from any indication the Cowleys could return if this is not the case (in order to manage the fans expectations and prevent the job becoming a poisoned chalice for the next person) or 2) If they are interested in us then bring them back!
