A few of these about and they are interesting watches - the environment they are trying to bring in with regards to empowering players, culture, talking to everyone individiaully every week etc.
It's a million miles away from how things are here, we are getting it so, so wrong.
I remember watching loads of videos of Jack Ross, how he interacted with fans, got his teams playing football, etc. Convinced myself he was the one, got all excited and then we appointed Hurst.

Follow up session is equally as good.
Incredible level to detail. They are the shall we say 'perfect fit' for where we are now, and what we need going forward.
You know how this will end! There are 2 candidates for Marcus, The Cowleys and Megson, again Marcus THE COWLEYS and Megson you just know he’ll appoint Megson.
The Cowleys are stand out the best fit for us so it can only go 1 depressing way.

They did a pretty good job at Huddersfield - they went into a team with 1 win in the last 10 months and turned them round from something silly like 2 points after 8-9 games to staying up with a game or two to spare
But Huddersfield parted with them. Yes they deserve credit but people, imho, are getting too carried away and have rose tinted specs on.
They played long ball at Lincoln. Wasn’t the problem at Huddersfield that they ultimately went for grafters and struggled to create goals? Their video above looks more like a marketing pitch.
I’ll welcome who ever get the gig here (hopefully soon) but my prognosis on these guys is far more guarded.

It was more about the owner wanting to have a bigger say over transfers.
They played decent enough stuff at Huddersfield, got some good players in including Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal who I think everyone now knows is a very good attacking midfielder/No10. Good job there overall at a very tricky time.

Yes, but that manger was a bit of an anomaly.
Prior to that, the Huddersfield manager that stayed for a while, managed a win ratio of about 1 in 3. The current manager is at about the same ratio as well.
I can see a very poor manager, doing damage, I can see an average manager, getting basically a par score out of a team, an exceptional manager is one that can raise a team through their managerial expertise.
So did the Cowleys simply get a team back to a par score?
Does Paul Cooks win rate since leaving Accrington, show he can raise a team above par?
With ITFC in its current position, we need someone that can do more than be better than Lambert and get the team playing at par. We need someone that can get this team to get even better results than at their current early season “peak” under Lambert.

Think it was more so because Bielsa's mate became available whilst at Huddersfield and also at Lincoln , pretty much like they do as a management team they work to their strengths hence the results and type of football at Lincoln
We've strength in abundance , or so it seems , in terms of creative midfielders and a host of strikers that don't get opportunity to score playing one up front
It's not rocket science really and with their way of working to the strengths of the personnel you have at your disposal , for me it's a fit

It is a slightly false idea that Cowley brothers are a long ball specialist duo. When they were in the non-league level with Lincoln they did operate with a direct route, but when you have Matt Rhead and fellow non-league professionals it would be lunacy to suggest you pretend to be Man City. They simply worked wonders with what they had.
However, when they made it to the football league and were able to start adding quality, they quickly became a lot more wing oriented, relying more on combination play, and quick build up through the thirds.

But when Wagner was there he was well and truly lost by the time he was sacked - in the second half of 2017/18 they won 3 games, they then won 3 games across the whole next season, they then won none in 9 in the Championship - it's basically a 3 season period where they won 6 games.......getting that back to par is a massive deal and turning round an oil tanker, a club that has forgotten how to win.
Mick McCarthy rightly gets great credit for turning round Jewell's team in 2012/13, they didn't do a dissimilar job there.
Their owner wanted to be more involved in transfers, and wanted to appoint Bielsa's assistant as a Head Coach rather than a manager, but they did a very good job there.
Paul Cook has done very well at all of his last 3 jobs, but both these cnadidates have consistently met and exceeded expectations - realistically neither of them have had a par season in some time.
Something just doesn't quite sit right with Cook for me personally - but anyone who knows anything about the game and the EFL would tell you that either would be fantastic appointments that we'd be incredibly lucky to secure
Apologies to those who have replied to my post as I'm not replying individually. Hope the following will further explain my point and is a brief snapshot of some points made in the Chronicle (2/12/20), summing up views of Steven Chicken, Huddersfield Examiner reporter.
Huddersfield had 1 point from 7 games; Everyone was expecting mid table at best, Huddersfield were dire and needed a miracle,; The football was not always amazing to watch but there came a point where results were needed, the Cowleys delivered that; They were detailed in their preparations, they had some good results and some "embarrassing" results; There were games where Huddersfield were "desperately poor", The worst embarrassments were before the transfer window; Great signings in Toffolo and Smith-Rowe; They also went for "experience and went for grafters" "The issue they had at the end was they had a team who struggled to create goals", The lockdown was damaging and interrupted momentum; They might have improved had they had another window; They go right back to basics and look to develop from there.
So I'd say they deserve credit of course but , as I say, I'm far more guarded about them. We all want change. If they get the gig, I'll welcome them but I'm not convinced.

Given the structure of the club, the reality is we need operators. That’s about far more than being a football manager. Lambert is so far from that in his approach, he’s so so far from it. These 2 would get their hands dirty and shake this club up, they’ve done it with smaller clubs on less resource and equally they’ve done it at Huddersfield.

That would blow our players minds.
But I like it, a lot
I was just thinking that about the moves and phases of play (more so in the other two videos). Looks a bit complicated for some of our lads, bless 'em.
Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Couldn’t agree more. Do you remember when all the people on here craved for Hurst? And we know how that turned out. Remember they are still unemployed for a reason, maybe it’s them waiting or maybe it’s because of reservations. What we need now is someone to galvanise the fans, and that can only come from looking within and utilising some ex players to get on board and assist. Marcus Stewart or Paul Mariner coaching the forwards, Matt Holland or Simon Milton taking on the roll of public relations. I think it could be KD as first team coach moving on later to the top job, but at the moment he maybe needs Burley and Butcher as the older head.

Interesting post but is it just me or do they come across as a bit lacking in charisma? The PowerPoint stuff and business/corporate type jargon a little bit style over substance? Corporate world has infected everywhere including football!

I find them a lot more likeable than Lambert.

Or indeed when Lambert arrived and we were bombarded with how much he “just gets us”. I understand the enthusiasm that accompanies a new appointment but there seems to have been a huge amount of revisionism around these guys and, whilst I accept I’m perfectly fallible, I just don’t get the surge for them.
I fully agree that there is a void in the club.
“Renewal”. It’s what we and the club need.
It will come with Dyer & Co.

Keep in mind we were waxing lyrical about Jack Ross doing videos such as these.
I think they would be a fine acquisition for the Club and should have been approached when Mick left, however, we're doing the usual thing as usual and putting managers on a pedestal expecting them to work miracles as a minimum.
