Tall King Blox Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I thought this one was a little pearle of wisdom................ "The man's an awful manager, he might save you from going down, but you'd rather stab yourself in the eyes than watch how his team play football, in fact, if I were you I'd invest in a neck brace. Good luck." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted May 20, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 We know more than most that a half decent manager at one club is a failure at another or vice versa Sometimes things just fit into place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 He did badly at Forest. They don't like him. A lot of people (me included) were cautious about his arrival as a result. His success since doesn't make any of the above less valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One BCFC Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 To be fair a Forest fan I know said Cotterill is a good manager and was treated unfairly at Forest after keeping them up. Dont know whether he was joking or not when he said he could be the best Manager in the FL though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Perhaps the Forest faithful don't appreciate that Cotterill has recruited players to fit his preferred style of play at City. Obviously he wasn't able to do that at Forest and fell to hoof ball as a result. As for man management - it's an easy to do a good job when your team is winning. Much more difficult when your team is struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Sounds like he was Forest's Pulis. And we're Cotterill's Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambodinho Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Doncaster will say SO'D is the best manager they've ever had. Reading will say Coppout is the best manager they've had. St Johnstone and Aberdeen will tell you that McInnes is a great manager. Pulis is clearly a decent manager for keeping a team in the prem. Sometimes it just clicks for managers at certain clubs and not at others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolmoose Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 The man is an complete and utter moron and will have no idea beyond sticking the tallest, strongest players you have on the pitch, regardless if they're being played out of position. Nail on the head. What was he thinking, making our tallest strongest defender get up the pitch, in some deluded hope that he might score goals? That's what strikers are for, not defenders! Utter Moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 He wasn't a big name for Forest, they are a fickle bunch and believe they should be in the top flight after a stint of success in the 80s. Steve Cotterill was at the time, and still is the perfect fit for Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristol south end Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 There a massive club who win everything! oh wait. Never had any time for them and Leeds. Its just the mindset of the fans.

Arkateee Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hopefully, cotterill can go up there this coming season, and prove a good few forest fans wrong! At the end of the day, sometimes things work, and other times they don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Galley Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I find it very strange how a lot of Forest fans do not have a good word to say about Steve Cotterill, when he took over there he saved them from certain relegation, as he did with us but was not given the chance to build his own side as he was sacked in the close season. They have short memories Brian Clough was a legen there and had some ordinary players who could only play for him (Hare, McGovern etc.) but he was a flop managing elsewhere like Leeds. If you get a glove that fits, you hold onto it and we have in our manager!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
