They will be a massive club at that level next season, there to be shot at - and he'll love every minute of it. Wonder if he'd send Clough down for talks, I'd like us to go back in for him. Then pull the deal just as we've agreed a massive contract and signing on fee. See how much the little**** and his old man chuckle on the way home then Admit it, my list narrowed it down just enough for you to work it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's not managed at that level before? Would be a step up in class and size of club for the bloke. Done a cracking job with a dire situation at Northampton though, fair play to the man 36 minutes ago, City169 said: Admit it, my list narrowed it down just enough for you to work it out It certainly narrowed it down somewhat....!

brizzlelou Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Cotterill is 25/1 to take over at Leyton Orient. Bloody good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Surely he could do better. No idea why a Bolton, Charlton, Bradford or Sheff Utd etc havent gone for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still spending SLs pay off I would imagine, probably take his time for the right opportunity. His recent CV couldn't be more impressive for lower league clubs I would have thought, but perhaps not a Championship club. Sure he'll be back sometime, may be FGR or Cheltenham if they have a decent budget, or perhaps Cardiff?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Rascal Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Saw SC in Cabot Circus a couple of weeks ago. Getting his phone fixed I think.

Can show what he's worth. With his character being perceived as particularly 'difficult' within the game a solid owner with a good budget might look elsewhere. I'd say Lansdown is a solid owner, and we have the money, as seen this summer. I think it was his unrealistic targets that didn't fit our criteria for players coming in that let him down last summer for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great winter of transfers, MA back. 2016-17 - Superb summer of transfers, MA here throughout. Now in each case he was working with a manager/head coach; it's their job to identify the players, and his to get them in. And coincidentally the year he wasn't around, we did naff all.
