The Casual Connoisseur Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 So basically SC has mental health issues, he's clearly an obsessive compulsive, welcome to the club Steve, you absolutely loony. I hadn't warmed to him until reading that, I'm really impressed with his actions after getting sacked, seems like he's alarmed a lot, yet still learning which bodes well for us. Good interview, but one question. What was the mans toilet badge attached to his suit? Any ideas, have a butchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 What was the mans toilet badge attached to his suit? Any ideas, have a butchers.

cityexile Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Good read. Can only assume one of his OCD things is 'see a red football top today, make a 88th minute sub'. Does make him look very human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Maybe this lack of change, and keeping to rituals, is why SC is not inclined to change things in the team whilst things are going well...who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always thought that Cotts has a touch of madness about him like other great managers Clough ,SAF ,Darrell Clarke ...If that's what it takes !

Manon Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I wonder if that's the reason he managed Notts County? Plenty of magpies there....on all the shirts, even illustrated in the seats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Magpies are basically solitary birds and the only time you'll see a pair is during the breeding season, which ain't now. Not sure if this'll effect our luck, but it might result in SC spending more time driving around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Maybe this lack of change, and keeping to rituals, is why SC is not inclined to change things in the team whilst things are going well...who knows! Absolutely possible by the sounds of it that he has a superstition not to willfully change a non losing team. Wagstaff for Little, Cunningham for Bryan, Pack for Elliot - not all at once - are all individual changes that most fans would have understood and probably agreed with at various times to freshen up the team. Does Cotts. have a history of making so few changes at previous clubs, or did this superstitious side of his nature emerge when he was manager of Notts. County and started seeing magpies in a new and perturbing light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
