TV Tom Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Will always be thankful for a fantastic 18 months but make no mistake his tactics was taking us down, more than happy to appreciate e him today though and more than happy he got the appreciation he deserves, for me he is up there with Dicks and Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Top comments. SL should hang his head in shame at how SC was treated. If he had LJ's backing **** knows where we would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lansdown was happy for what Cotterill did for the club but already had ideas about dumping him.. whatever the results. And his dogmatic approach this season, seems to suggest that I am right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishponds_Red Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Personally I couldn't give a **** about SC now. He won L1 with the best players in the league and the highest wage bill, anything less would have been a massive under achvivment however much I enjoyed that season. His petulance last season nearly cost us our championship survival, thank god LJ saved us. Onwards and upwards under a bright, intelligent, modern coach.

Floatn Over Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Must admit I was a little worried about Cotts return, had a feeling he might have been strutting the technical area, looking for verbals with LJ (Warnock style) and "look at me" celebrating with the Brummies but no, fair play absolutely none of that. I applauded as he passed in front of the Dolman on his walk (on reflection not as much as I should have) but looking at his face, constant clapping us, thumbs up etc I just thought how respectful he was today - changed my mind. The Cotts v LJ thing has been done to death, it's gone but Cotts did so much for us in the promotion season and was right targeting Gray & Gayle to a degree to move this club forward, just too soon for us to be splashing that sort of cash. If only he could have been more flexible, accept advice (the 442 thing being the classic example) pursue more likely transfer targets etc could have all been so so different. Well done SC.

Says it all, what a BC hero Thought he was going to come over and have another pop at our fans like he did in his last game in charge for us. I thank SC from the bottom of my heart for that memorable season. I will never forget that season. Just think the Championship is a little bit beyond him bit he did help lay the foundations for our current Championship status. He took us as far as he could imo. Time for LJ to now really take over the reigns and take us to the next level and become a BCFC hero himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leylandsroad Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I thought it disgusting that neither Lee Johnson or Steve lansdown welcomed him back in the programme. everyone knows lansdown and cotts fell out, he was given no support and the outcome inevitable. Cotts had a huge input yesterday and every city player lined up to shake his hand and a few did as they went to warm up. I hope he gets the job.

samo II Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Delighted to see that video - Cotts deserved a decent goodbye after all he did for us (we'd not be here without him). Will always go forward with my best wishes. And for those saying they don't care - a great shame. He won us two trophies, including our first league in 60 years; if you're so jaded that means nothing in your eyes, I pity you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 To those saying that if SC had the same financial backing as LJ the story might be different... Pretty sure only one manager made bids of 9million for players on two separate occasions. The other has spent similar across a range of developing players.

Shtanley Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I can't believe people would still have him as our manager in this division, did excellently in league 1 both to save us then to win the double but was an absolute car crash at this level. A couple of his signings have been outstanding for us in this division namely Smith and Wilbraham. But his refusal to adapt and the fact he wouldn't use all the sub spots simply to make a statement which was arguably the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. SL was never going to spend big money on single players in that window and SC couldn't cope with that, I can assure you he wasn't the one who went and found Kodjia I'm not even sure he rated him. We were maybe not going down under him but the sacking was fully justified. A lovely gesture to clap him yesterday but if you're closing your eyes and dreaming of him in charge then you've got issues. He was toxic come the end of his tenure and I for one don't miss him. Say what you want about SL but there was no hope of creating any long term sustainable plan with SC in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 He deserved that send off. Part of me wishes we had kept him, but then part of me also thinks that had we done so we would have gone down! Great memories though, he did a great job with us- things went badly wrong towards the end but the bulk of his tenure was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
