Any hard evidence for that or are you surmising?
So if Cowley had been manager in 1981 would Alan Knight have had a career at Fratton or Bognor.
There weren’t any sweeper keepers in 81

and Knight's predecessor was widely criticised for his kicking at one point. Actually AK was a pretty good distributor, even using his hands to throw the ball up to half way. punts beyond that as per all keepers to this day.
Building from the back might be pretty but it didn't get us many goals last season.
Dave Best was a sweeper keeper in the 70s. Even took throw ins.
