Most were happy that he'd gone or indifferent to it. Any animosity is regarding a perceived lack of loyalty to our owner who stuck with him after 8 league defeats in a row and an FA Cup exit at Altrincham. But I don't hold that grudge myself. Lee says Bristol City is his club and he'd have left any other to return. Fair enough in my book. And look what we achieved once he left. So I don't see any bitterness. Lee's doing well at AG, Hecky is doing well at Oakwell. Happy ever after.

Kodjias Wrist Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Calling him a shit manager is a bit silly when we are above them in the league and he started their rise to promotion. They are seriously bitter about him leaving them, what made it worse though was him saying he was on a scouting mission, disrespectful thing to say really!

Hourihane, Scowen, White and Roberts have been massive for us in 2016. We have one first-team central midfielder available. So we'll either have to slot in a defender or give a debut to a teenager. But I'm looking forward to it nevertheless. No excuses needed. "No excuses needed" yet lists excuses before saying so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 How would we feel if for example, Cotts had left us during our promotion season and just before our Wembley final ? To go to a club perceived as being the same size as City ? Risking blowing it all as we suddenly found ourselves without a manager and unsure of the outcome ? Then , when the transfer window opens all the media link Flint , Smith , Bryan, our star players with Cotts New club ? I can understand the bitterness but that is football and as supporters we have to swallow hard and get on with following our club . How many City fans wish Pulis well ? Glasshouses and all that .

I wish you would stop being so bloody reasonable and get back to proper posting. I remember when Joe Jordan left for Hearts, all part of life's rich pattern. Both Barnsley and us are on the way up. As long as we rise more quickly I wish them well after tomorrow. Pulis was bloody awful for us - and I was delighted when he left! Part of being a football supporter is having to live through these "interesting" episodes and experiencing the joys of anticipation when you can actually imagine how things might improve fro your team.

But to be honest, I'm more than happy with our current standing. 12th in the Championship with a squad built on £1,150,000. Lee is a decent manager, I think he'll become great.

That's a fine post. But again, it's not bitterness. Nobody cared about him staying/leaving. They just feel he's a tosser for leaving when and how he did. As I say, I couldn't care less. I liked Lee. But I like Hecky a lot more. He's one of us. Be weird if I didn't. He has a 60% win ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi - I have it on very good authority that Hecky has a huge problem with your chairman and their relationship has become extremely strained as of late. Any rumours of that up there?

If Cotts was leaving for a club in a higher division, that he regarded as his club, that he almost helped get to the top tier, but ultimately fell short in the playoff final and held himself responsible. And said club had a bigger budget, then I would be sad to see him go but wish him well. Of course, even that doesn't account for the fact that we were still comfortably in the top few places when we won our semi final, whereas even after the great run under LJ, Barnsley weren't even in the playoffs at that point (by memory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in both percentage terms and in jumping a division, is the same as us begrudging Johnson a move to Leicester, Spurs or Southampton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started the season with our best midfielder and right back out (who have only just come back to fitness now!) and an 18 year old kid upfront who had never played a professional league game before. I'm sure it will be a good game.
