All joking aside Scholes has a massive amount of respect in the game and I’m sure he’ll become a decent manager soon. We’ll miss a trick on that one for sure and I’d love him here. Can never tell really- like Gary Neville a few years ago- top player, forthright pundit? Then again Lampard doing quite well also... Then again though, people may have thought Neville would become a strong manager but he was disastrous at Valencia- big first job to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think McCarthy plays attractive football. Surprised you need it spelling out. I dont care if he has achieved promotion before. There are a fair few managers at this level who have achieved success that I wouldn't want. Tony Pulis, Sam Allardyce, Neil Warnock, Mick McCarthy, Ian Holloway, Phil Brown. No thanks. I appreciate I am in the minority in that I put style of football over league position. I would rather watch a Fulham type performance in a 4-4 draw than a dire long-ball 1-0 win. Still waiting for YOUR suggestions, these attractive football playing managers that would consider us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepers Ball Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 This subject is the reason why I dislike the Bristol Sport nonsense. Many believe Mr Lansdown wouldnt stump up the cash for a reputable name. So this makes me wonder how much money is being pumped into this 3rd rate nonsense of Basketball ? I'll even upset a few who love the Egg chasing. What a shame we dont have an owner that concentrates on one thing.

I actually thought his performance at Ipswich was extraordinary, his transfer spending was zero, and he played the strategy out of paying the bills. For me he was the standout manager for many seasons. Im not saying he is right for us , but I have huge respect for what he did at Ipswich. As I think almost any sensible football person would.

He is a available without needing to throw compensation at his club. With the proviso that he still has the fire in his belly. I believe SL will promote from within . If Holden or Macca don't go with LJ he'll stick with what he knows and move them up most probably bringing in Cole Skuse or Louis Carey to assist . Have you been on the mushrooms major?

I'll even upset a few who love the Egg chasing. What a shame we dont have an owner that concentrates on one thing. Bristol City FOOTBALL Club Very little. There is a salary cap of £200k....per team. Yes, per team. That’s the equivalent of one City player on £4K per week. Ok, the rules are not quite as simple as that, the top two highest paid British players in each team are excluded from the cap, to promote British players. Bearing in mind Bristol Flyers have 3 US imports, a Greek player and a Maltese international, it is unlikely that the 2 highest paid Brits are taking full advantage of the new rule like London City Royals who have brought a stellar British name back to the BBL this season. Our teams already invest heavily in to their player pathways and as such developing players, it is therefore sensible that we don’t put up any barriers to Clubs retaining the very best of these players (that they are helping to develop). “As such we have changed our Team Payment Cap regulations so that the TPC calculation excludes the top 2 earning British players on each team.” Hoopsfix can reveal that the TPC is currently set at £200,000 per year and the calculation incorporates only emoluments (i.e. no benefits in kind) – and excludes the top two British salaries – as confirmed by the BBL. The TPC – essentially the BBL salary cap just named differently – is generally used to keep overall costs down whilst maintaining a competitive balance to prevent more financially well off clubs from dominating.

While LJ cannot over a couple of seasons, and spent so much money on players? I have not seen Derby play much so cannot comment on their style of football. But if Lampard came here, would he have more success and time as LJ? Mason Mount and Harry Wilson both signed on loan and look amongst the best players in this league. Contacts and judgement. LJ has brought in some total duds on loan and I think would've had little chance of getting those two. Apart from Tammy he has got mostly crap in on loan which contrasts his judgement with FL's.

But within his family, the Redknapps and his father, plus managers he's played under, all of whom played and managed mostly in the top league, he has probably learned a helluva lot more than LJ did being managed by his Dad at Yeovil and City. No comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think LJ’s last contract extension was deserved, the timing was appalling, we were two months into that horrendous run which lasted from October 2016 to March 2017 and it included the most consecutive defeats in our history....even in the midst of that chaos LJ got a new contract after we’d just dropped from 5th to 17th in the table in double-quick time.....it was unbelievable but lots on here still defended it....how? Why? Who else would get a new, extended contract under those circumstances?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The epitome of stability. Tell me anyone else (still working at the moment) at this level or above in the UK with a better average per job? He just gets on with things with minimal fuss. I'd give it to him until the end of the season and then see where we are. It won't happen though. Spot on.....he was in his last two roles for 12 years in total...and some joker on here called him a “journeyman manager with an appalling record” - sometimes the ill-informed guff posted on here staggers me, and I don’t know why it does! I should expect it by now....some people just lap up the crap spouted by others and believe it to be true, then embarrass themselves by regurgitating it...

As Calculus said the other day some of us believe BCFC has become SL's vanity project. He will not take on anyone who might threaten his control, whereas some of us again believe this is exactly what is needed if, as he says, he wants Premiership football. Whatever you think of him Nigel Pearson, someone who has been there and done it, was available but wasn't short-listed the last time around. We were given the usual bollocks that LJ was the strongest candidate in an outstanding field of applicants?? Control, control, control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
