asfred Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 So the Birmingham Post are reporting that Harry will move upstairs and Steve Cotterell will take over as manager, earning £1m a year.

Unan Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Fair enough, it's a shame as I can't wish him good luck but I hope he doesn't fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Leigh of Somerset Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hope it all comes good for him either at Brum or elsewhere. Wish it'd worked out better for him here. He gave us one helluva season and I'll never forget just how good that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reigate Red Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Based on previous posts about him still being employed by City does this now mean that he is off the wage bill? Good luck to him though always liked his passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him luck - just not against us. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on at this level at another club. Was he out of his depth or was there other reasons he struggled here in this league.

You could be right and he`d be a lot more appreciated if they were in league 1 which they ought to run away with on paper. Their fans do seem to have taken to him already though.

You never know, if they go down then they'll be straight back up if they give SC the budget needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I wonder if the fact SC is with Brum will have any effect on our performance on Sunday? Rumours are that he was popular with the players and some were gutted when he was sacked. Quite a few of our L1 players should start. Do we think they may be tempted to help Cotts out as there is nothing on the game for us now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fans do seem to have taken to him already though. As best I can tell, they seem to be supportive of the type of role he has right now, but to be polite there are very mixed views as to if he should be their next manager: http://www.smallheathalliance.com/read.php?1,2218534 As for the suggestion above, as to if our players want to 'help him out', do not really see that. Players like Flint and Abraham seem the sort that want to give 100% whatever. I suspect if there is a reduction in intensity next match, it will be much more to do with subconsiously being safe, than wanting to do Cotts a favour.

I hope not, regardless if we're safe the team should be looking to beat Brum and finish as high as possible (15th if the results go the right way) No room for sentiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 A solid appointment for them, regardless of the level they end up at next year. Appointing Zola was a nonsense move, and felt very much like new owners wanting to show off their ability to get a 'brand name' in. If Cotts end up in charge, that would maybe prove they learnt a harsh lesson from that move. And if the word is 'Arry would be upstairs too, that would be a significant positive for SC, because as I understand it, the two are very close, and would give him an ally who would more than likely be able to get him what he needed from the owners. I hope we beat them next week (like I hope we beat anyone we face) and won't lie that if it sends them down, I'd shed no tears. But Cotts would be a very astute appointment for them, especially if they have to escape League One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC was very complimentary of SL the other week on Soccer Saturday. I did find it surprising given how things ended!

Portland Bill Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Let's face facts, SC was trying to bring in players that would of definitely taken us to the next level. As it is we are still treading water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
