I'm a little concerned
Hang on, weren't you 'totally underwhelmed' yesterday?
Hill83, i think both me and cyril were underwhelmed yesterday, me in particular, but it won't affect our love and loyalty to the club.I've seen many managers in my time supporting Cov, some turn out good uns, and some are poor to crap, i hope and pray this appointment comes into the first bracket.
I was really excited about a Black appointment and to say I was disappointed was an understatement, but as you know in life a day later you can calm down and regather your thoughts and take stock.
I will, and i hope Cyril will, support the club whoever is in charge
transfer embargo lolwhen do we ever...........ever............do anything on schedule?

CWR reported that he has agreed terms and we're negotiating with Falkirk
Stick me in that basket along with you and Cyril!
You'd like that wouldn't you? :laugh:
Immaturity is a great thing :laugh:

I don't understand this demand for Black every time we're looking for a new manager. His reign here was not only brief but nearly 10 years ago!
It's purely nostalgia. It harks back to a perceived time when things were better. It like everyone says music was better in the 70's until you look at some old Top of the Pops.
If thorn has gone after his caretaker period the frenzy would be the same and equally logic defying.
22 fish suppers will get the deal done
Looking to hire John Sillett and/or George Curtis would be nostalgic. Black is 49 and still in his prime.
There are plenty of healthy reasons to want to hire him: lives locally, available, did well at CCFC before, lots of experience at the higher levels, contacts around the game, bilingual, smart, plays attractive football, etc.
They are not comparable. Thorn wasn't fired - he was given a full season and change, while Black was much more than a caretaker - he had charge of the first team for over half a season, not just a handful of games. More than that, you couldn't look at Black's team and say that he was lucky to have a Marlon King in there edging out a 1-0 win - the entire football culture changed and the results were huge.
Bit it's still living in the past and for every Jethro Tull there was a Peters and Lee just round the corner.
I think terms like "nostalgia" colour any argument a bit. The only question has to be whether somebody is up to the job. I'm sure that the Wednesday fans might have had nostalgic reservations over a 35 year old Roland Nilsson in 1997, but he came to us and did a sterling job.
I don't understand the calls we've seen in the past for people like George Graham, who have been away from the game for a decade. But somebody like Black remains eminently qualified for the post. We've gone through seven managers and consistent misery since he left, so I'm not sure what there would be to lose in hiring him - it would pep up a large section of the fanbase, it would close the question, and he would just be a credible selection anyhow.
However it is nostalgia. If we were perusing a manager other than him who had had one small stab at it a decade ago this would not be received well. Garry Gillespie was an outstanding defender in his first stint at the club. His second stint should not have happened.
