The old Patulea thread wouldn't have been far off, if not over, I imagine.

Middlesborough in extended talks with Cowley.
this could generate a few clicks if an official press announcement is made over the next few weeks.
Has Danny joined the rest of the Cowley clan on the family holiday in Dubai?
I've got eyes on the ground. Danny has just been spotted leaving Sheikh Maktoum's palace with a big grin on his face. Seems to be enjoying his "holiday"Has Danny joined the rest of the Cowley clan on the family holiday in Dubai?
"Labbadia isn't the only coach under consideration, and it's believed the Baggies are also assessing others who have subsequently become available since the season finished.
Their initial four-man shortlist has evolved due to a number of fresh options emerging."
------------------------
"Lincoln City’s Danny Cowley has been under consideration, but it’s believed his demands may not be in-keeping with Albion’s structural model."
I'm assuming that's, possibly amongst other things, transfers because don't WBA work on a Head Coach model? Another tick 'for' the control they have here.

This will be the problem for DC/NC going up the pyramid. A lot of clubs have Directors of Football, transfer committees etc etc.
My thoughts too.This will be the problem for DC/NC going up the pyramid. A lot of clubs have Directors of Football, transfer committees etc etc.
At Lincoln Danny and Nicky are managers. They have a budget and they sign the players they want by interviewing them and selecting them. At a lot of bigger clubs you are the coach and you work with the players you are given. I know there are exceptions and some big clubs have managers but a lot employ this continental style of structure.
Danny and Nicky pretty much have carte blanche here and the board does everything they can to accommodate them. They won't have that degree of control at a club like WBA and maybe their way of working wouldn't work at a club like that.
I have a great idea for them why don't they sign a new 5 year contract with us and stay for many more years.
Good news hopefully. But would also indicate "unofficial discussions" with WBA for them to know about Danny's "demands".

Perceptive observation as usual.
