    It’s you and others putting your interpretation on it to suit your views. The interview he did on sky this weekend gave his thoughts, it’s transcribed on the T&A tonight he said through his career football had come first and now he had to take into account family. He also said in recent weeks he had been talking to several clubs.

    Wow you honestly believe he turned it down for family reasons.

    Don’t you understand the club is a mess?

    Because he managed there before and he's aware of what's required, just a hunch as I say time will tell, no I don't believe the family excuse for one minute, why would he not have discussed it with his family before applying.

    Real danger of us being the next Scunthorpe.

    The manager who ever it is needs sorting.

    It shouldn't have taken this long. To my mind they've got until next Friday. Longer than that.

    Family reasons may mean his wife and family looking at the area and not liking it.

    Do you believe he got in touch with the names above when half of them left the club years before Rack & Ruin bought the club, not sure who Collins, Robins are ?.

    Bollocks, Park. You're talking nonsense again.

    If you want to understand Danny Cowley then use the Internet to help you. Everything he has said recently, and over a longer time, is consistent with this decision.

    Do you want to understand what he's looking for in a job? Read this https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/former-portsmouth-lincoln-and-huddersfield-boss-danny-cowley-reveals-job-offers-since-fratton-park-exit-4270057

    Or this about being not emotional https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/danny-cowley-lifts-lid-on-life-after-portsmouth-sacking-as-former-huddersfield-town-man-weighs-up-managerial-return-4000690

    Want to know about the impact of football on his family? Read this https://theathletic.com/3385658/2022/07/02/football-manager-partners-relationships/

    Want to know what he looks for in a club and coaching? Read this this https://www.efl.com/news/2020/may/inside-the-mind-of-danny-cowley/
    Or watch this

    Stop sitting there you lazy bugger and hurling nonsense comments like "it's just a fairy story that you've made up" and do some actual research before commenting. The whole internet is there to help you and you could learn a lot if you tried.

    If I was Cowley I'd be thinking they just employed Mark Hughes and he won't have been on peanuts... Let's see what's on offer... I might like what I hear

    He's expecting a pot of gold but after the interview thinks it's not what he thought it would be

    Remember Hughes didn't come to us for the money

    So down the line sparky offers him the job... He's flattered ... Excited so accepts it

    Then after a cooling off period and sleeping on it starts getting cold feet... Am I doing the right thing

    Under the microscope from day one... Results needed instantly... Are the players capable... Is there a decent pot left for January... 17k fans on his back virtually instantly...Must get promotion no matter what

    Is the juice worth the squeeze... Moving house , schools , pressure of work, kids without friends , wife without mates, googled Bradford - oh shit

    Sorry bud don't really think this jobs for me

    Unfortunately, I agree.

    Would it be the worst idea to bring in an inexperienced candidate until the end of the season? Someone a bit more advanced than a caretaker, but a gamble? Someone with coaching experience, but who hasn't perhaps already had four or five jobs?

    I think if I had Ryan's ear, rather than going for one of the 'names' who have had a middling career, I might just start afresh - and since Trueman and McDonald aren't very interesting candidates, it might be worth grabbing a coach from another club and promoting them.

    Yep. A squad that isn't fit for purpose and a fanbase that expected us to be challenging for promotion this season, which isn't happening.

    Someone likely requested a price, which immediately spooks the market.

    Clemence may have been ideal?
