Take it yourself and the general consensus isn’t a good one about this appointment?

Doesnt look that their fans are that impressed with this appointment

No very few Colchester fans feel very happy about it, but Cowling always wants to promote from within unfortunately.

Who was it you would have preferred?

He got Clacton relegated, Stanway failed to get promotion to senior league and didn’t pull up tree at Maldon & Tiptree, not a great record in lower division of non league in step 4, 5 & 6!

Ideally a new face from outside of the club, but the trouble is, most things seem to be controlled by Robbie Cowling and our Director Of Football Tony Humes, so a new manger has little chance of changing things.

Why doesn’t Cowling save himself a salary and have a crack himself, Tamplin style

Good point, I don't think he likes to make too obvious ( Even though it is)

Funny because thats what some are calling for on here. Plenty of examples of why they can fail and many managers would not work under those restrictions at a smaller club.

DOF's are like 'Good on the ball' CB's.......Not needed in L2

How awkward is that, when he take him out to Playhouse pub in Colchester, get some drink in ? then tell him “Sorry mate, we was **** against Southend, fans want you out, erm ..... you are fired!”

Yep, I could just heard Robbie saying exactly that.
