Nice to see him happy again, towards the end of his tenure I thought he was going to have a heart attack/ stroke, he looked that ill. There is only one Steve Cotterill… just a shame he isn't our coach/manager anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly his face didn't fit in with what Bristol Sport want. In a nutshell. He's not a robotic figure that Lansdown can tell what to do. He's a proper man manager and there is not enough blokes in the game like him! Could tell he enjoyed every moment of that at the end. Massive respect to Steve.

RedM Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 As others have said I thought it was very telling that he took time after the match when you would have expected him to be with his own players, or with the club that's currently employing him at least. He might have wondered what sort of reception he would get as I didn't hear any 'welcome back' type greeting before the match, but maybe we don't for assistants anyway? Anyway it was nice to show our appreciation and hopefully give him a final good memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Absolutely adore this man. In a gay way. Seriously though, what an absolute hero that man is, proper footballing man, a real character and had he been backed like LJ I'm sure he would've succeeded.

city1983 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Just echo other comments really. Cotterill will always be a legend in my eyes for what he achieved at the gate, and should still be our manager now, he wasn't backed financially in the championship and his sacking was a disgrace.

He was very one sided with the formation that won us the league, and his substitutions were poor, but the recruitment was almost non-existent. He needed fresh players.

I'm Sparti-Bob Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Very dignified from SC. Kept quite a low profile at kick off and then gave us a chance to say both 'thank you' and 'goodbye' at the end. Very emotional and a proper send off for the man who provided the best season I'll possibly ever witness. Thanks again Steve, all the best for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight talking, passionate, no fluffy bullshit terms about 1%s and pencils being sharp. How the board treated him is a disgrace. 100 % correct. He was shafted and hung out to dry. A straight talking what you see is what you get proper bloke, a ******* good coach and had the respect of all his players. All the things missing in our current "head coach". The board - i.e. Lansdown - should be ashamed not just how Cotterill was treated but the impact on our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
