glynriley Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 2 hours ago, CodeRed said: What happened at Bristol City is well known. but don't forget he kept Burnley competitive in the Championship for 3 seasons with no money and tiny squad of about 14. He had basically 1 striker - Andy Gray - and when he was out injured in Cotts last season they struggled but he kept them mid table and decided to leave at the end of that season because he couldn't take them any further on the limited funds they had. He well at Pompey and was poached to go to Forest and only left there when there was a takeover an the owner wanted a bigger name. He's done ok previously at Championship level without ever really being backed. He also has 4 promotions on his CV. I'm sure with the £50M LJ was given he'd have done better but clearly SL can't or won't work with him. Another negative often aimed at him - mostly by a certain poster on here! - is that he failed to adhere to SL's buy cheap young players - develop - and sell on.....rinse and repeat, overlooking the buying of Kodjia by Cotts who netted City about £10M in 12 months, unfortunately he never got the chance to "repeat" And imagine if he'd have not been let down on a deal for the young Harry Maguire... How much would he have made on 'ee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotts was badly treated and is held in very, very high regard by our support but we're after something different. I hate to say it but if Swindon or a decent L1 side had a vacancy, he would be absolutely perfect. Give him a job at somewhere like Ipswich and they would storm the league as we did. We're happy with Wellens and could have a decent one until bigger teamc come calling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsaw Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Cotts will always be a city legend in my eyes for the double winning season, I would happily have him back tomorrow , if he had been backed like Lee was I think we would be a lot closer to if not in the prem by now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
