    Why do you think it would be a mistake?

    Hearing you could be right Idle. Colchester 11 managers in 3 years and desperate to avoid the drop sometimes forces instant action, away at Mariners Tuesday

    Personally I think Parky is pretty arrogant and that dud us no harm at all. Nice guys like Bowyer usually don't succeed.

    Colchester have a debt mountain reported in the local press to be over £31million in 2021. A bloke called Cowling bankrolls them . His net worth is reported to be circa £40m.
    He has just purchased a golf course and claims he wants to make it their training ground in a long term project.
    Their ground, built in the middle of absolutely nowhere in a semi industrial and car showroom estate, is owned by the local Council and cost the local taxpayer around £10m of the £15m it cost to build.

    Apparantly Cowling doesn’t want his money back. ( But wait until his family does)

    It’s possible @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler could add more ?

    Could say the same about those constants behind the scenes at our own club under different owners couldn't we ?

    As part of their team ? Surely not as a candidate in his own right.

    I can't imagine the Cowleys being interested in Colchester while they have a chance of the Bradford City job. If they are not the successful candidates with you or Gillingham then it might be a different story. But Colchester is surely one of the least attractive clubs in The EFL even if you are Essex men.

    If its Scott Brown I won’t be best pleased.

    he looks weird with hair.

    Jokes aside, not a fan of Ceptic. Always been a Gers fan due to Stuart. Keep him away.

    Robbie Cowling, nice guy but think he’s Executive Chairman so possibly interfering a bit. His brother Richard was also involved for a while and some other family members. Obviously well heeled but that doesn’t get nailed on success. When we were in L1 with them he was upgrading Academy to Cat2 from 3 like us. Cost an extra 800k per year which came off first team budget and cost relegation and where they are now only produced Freddie Sears if I remember.

    Yes, didn't have a great time. Someone must think he's got a chance.
