    He probably found out how long the roadworks at the bottom of Manchester road were going to take.

    It's alright telling everyone to move on Park, It's a forum, it's why we are here, to talk about stuff going on at City and this news dropped about half an hour ago haha

    Exactly my point. He hasn't turned it down because of location, he's either been poached or turned it down because he's realised how badly Mr Shoe Shine runs the club.

    He'll end up at Lincoln.
    Unfortunately we are not as an attractive proposition as we the supporters all feel that we are I'm afraid.

    On Sky, he also said something along the lines of 'I need to feel valued' & 'I need to club that realises where it is and has a plan to get to where it wants to go'.

    That's probably more of the reason why he isn't coming. We didn't pay him enough and we didn't have a plan.

    I'm not sure he will. Can he realistically get Lincoln in the Championship?
    That's a tough call for any Manager. Mid Table League 1 is probably Lincoln's limit.

    He can't get this one wrong or he won't work for a long time after failing at Pompey.

    I said they same when Hughes left, dare Ryan appoint Mark Trueman as our care taker manager with regards the situation he could make for himself, so looking at the best option with regards coaching old head etc asked McDonald to take the reins now McDonald has taken himself out of the situation Ryan has little choice other than to give it to Mark.

    We'd be bonkers not to appoint a DoF at this stage.

    We struggle to even get a manager in, let alone focus on all the critical aspects of continuity and progress...

    In football management ?? Apart from Parky empty chairing Huddersfield (rumoured to be after he drove round and saw what a shithole it is/ didn't want to upset his daughter/ son/ gerbil) can you name me another manager who has given backword on a job four hours before it was due to be announced ?

    This is starting to make sense, Cowley was offered the job, verbally accepted, Facebook Fellah stood KMcD down, Cowley gives backword, Mr X (formerly known as Mr Twitter) tells KMcD that he's back as a acting (temporary caretaker main candidate for the job) manager, KMcD says shove it so The Instagram Kid ropes Trueman back in.

    Honestly, I don't blame Cowley, he really had a tough time controlling Bodie & Doyle in a previous job, and realised this one isn't worth the hassle. Time to put money on him appearing in panto at Lincoln Grand Theatre.

    Interesting comments by Warnock (Steven), ““I had been at Liverpool as a kid so how Bradford did it wasn’t what I was used to. Now, though, the training facilities are great and the players all looked after very well.” https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/oldham-v-bradford-city-stephen-warnock-on-a-mission-as-he-returns-to-bantams-1763900

    Cowley: Right guys, what's the plan.

    Sparks: couple of back-to-back promotions?

    Cowley: ... Yeah, but what's the PLAN?

    Sparks: Okay this is going nowhere

    So all the rubbish about Warnock said this and Warnock said that are actually relating to when he was here 16 years before and not when he was here in 2019 ?

    I know chamois leathers are dangerous when stretched across the face, but what about the dangerous chemicals they use when washing cars ?

    Absolutely, the only thing going for us is 15k low price season ticket holders. Nowt much else. The owner’s wish is for the new manager to pull rabbits out of a hat. What’s unambitious about that?

    Well I still think you're a very attractive proposition, even after reading this forum for the last month.
