Guest Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 34 minutes ago, TomF said: Hoping for the defensive coach to have a quick turn around then give him the job. Nice cheap option... Agreed. The fact MS was staying until he walked speaks volumes. It does seem they have spent sun-thurs negotiating with DC his pay off after Saturday's outburst. And unlike DC who 'mutually' negotiated his exit, Stewart asked to walk away. Could DC have a new job lined up and MS is joining, or were his wages so low he genuinely thought bugger this? It's not often an assistant will walk like MS has, hours after in a separate announcement,,, that stinks more than rotting fish. Any 'candidate' looking outside in should surely see what an absolute utter mess they are in. If managers don't have agents they bloody well should have, any agent worth his salt would say 'pass this one up mate'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Cotterill would save them from relegation but they’re too busy shitting their pants in rage over things they’ve made up in their own heads. When was the ‘loads’ of times Cotterill slagged off the Gas then? Belters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the ‘loads’ of times Cotterill slagged off the Gas then? Belters To be honest, when he was mooted here he had a fair few threads in similar vein... hands up I think I posted pretty derogatory remarks about him. As it goes, he's now the Bristol City manager of my lifetime I hold in the highest esteem. People say he bought the double season, but you still have to buy well, and he damn well did that. Cotterill I don't know why, he is always going to be unpopular amongst a fan base. He has a very unfashionable tag. But he is seriously, seripusly, competent. He's a manager like Big Sam, he might not be the most articulate or the best debater, but just go with him, write him a blank cheque, you will not be disappointed. If SL did that, I still think we'd be on parachute payments by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty of people questioning whether he was the best man for the job based on football reasons, our situation was looking pretty dire at the time. Most of the Sags moaning about the possibility of Cotterill becoming their new manager are using dumb reasons like, he’s an ex ‘shithead’ and “he gert slagged is off mind”....when he actually didn’t. They deserve relegation and they deserve owners who keep them in the dark. Insecure, paranoid boneheads.

Just think it's a case of a football manager, Who's out of a job going to watch a football match albeit as a guest of Scunthorpe . Just don't see how they could afford him & it would represent a massive step down on Cotts behalf, he'll get another job, just at a proper football club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Cotterill would be a perfect match for The Gas. Put it this way, within football he isn't on many Christmas card lists and is largely loathed for having an attitude that betrays more about misplaced confidence in himself than any innate talent. To his credit he gave us a season to remember (worryingly might do similar for them,) only to undo all that work by letting his 'character' come to the fore. Only the desperate would offer him a route back post Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 As for Cotterill his success at Cheltenham was over 16 years ago and his Bristol City side included breaking their transfer record at the time to sign Agard (about 800k) and spending 500k on Luke Freeman. There were other significant deals too. I'm not as against his appointment as some, but he wouldn't be my choice. Ah never knew that . Basing your opinions on bullshit facts . Not like them is it .
