I didn't watch much of his Colchester sides, other than knowing he brought through a lot of youngsters but can't remember them being particularly high scoring | |

Varied between 65 and 80 goals a season. Is that good for league 2? No idea. I suppose as we've been playing 4 2 3 1 all season it makes sense to have Mcgreal take it over for a bit. | |

His record at Col U was fine, nothing special but they’ve gone back a long way since he’s left so maybe it was a better job than we realised in the circumstances? He certainly wouldn’t be my first pick, but he may be a very good fit | |

Who would be your first pick Joe? Not trying to set a trap here, just genuinely interested as I respect your views. I’m struggling to think of one outstanding candidate to be honest. | | | |

I love the look and what I’ve heard and read about Liam Manning, but very difficult to know which way we will go | |

At Colchester, John Mac had an owner ruling him and an assistant undermining him. The players loved him. He did very, very well | | | |

Steve Ball I am guessing? No idea about the issues though. | | | |

There's a very good reason Col U are struggling Joe - in the main it is to do with Cowley reducing his financial input with the laudable aim of the Club being self-sufficient. They are on a much, much lower budget now than when McGreal was there. | |

Colchester got into the play offs in 2019/20 as a result of L2 being cut short. They were very inconsistent under McGreal a run of good form would be followed by a run of equally poor form. Think it was good fortune the season ended when it did as it followed one of those good runs where they were actually in the play offs. Had the season run it's course they may have finished anywhere in the top half The main issue he faced is the desire to cut back the finance as Homer mentions | |
