Redstoke Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 1 hour ago, milo1111 said: Yes. I’m worried that a proven manager with a promotion to the prem on his cv won’t be happy with the power Ashton has at the gate. I’m worried that they’ll go for a less proven manager who is just grateful for the opportunity and is therefore more of a yes man. If you dont mind me asking, what is the level of Ashtons power at AG? Are you in the know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUTOR Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Davefevs said: Yes, I rarely bet but I’ve just bet on someone I hope doesn’t get it....in the hope it jinxed them. When you hear MA use the term (something like) “we are trying to decide which sort of person we are looking” tells me they are narrowing down based on a type....and my gut (and a few whispers) tells me Ashton is focussing on a type of manager of an ilk similar to LJ in 2016. If the person I’ve bet on gets it, MA will need to put some severe spin on it to give me belief he was the best choice. I really thought we’d get a good man, we are at our most sellable, but I am really worried....and I’m pretty open minded (within reason). People will vote with their season cards if MA picks certain managers. I’m really hoping the whispers are just a case of not ruling anyone out but MA didn’t give me a warm feeling that we are going after the right man. Remember SL is not a football expert. Purely out of interest, what’s stopping you from just naming the manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but I have a feeling it's Robins. Personally, I would be happy with him. He seems to play attractive football, he has just enjoyed success (yes, in League One), but possibly most importantly he is rumoured to be somebody that Lansdown likes and would possibly fit in with the club's policy. I don't think that the latter should be ignored, and he may very well be the best option that would. Obviously I am in a minority, going by the opinions on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im absolutely not ITK. There are a few that are that have given plenty of hints towards this being the case though. He clearly has a massive input on incomings and outgoings.

cidercity1987 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Holden looks the part to be fair to him. But with regard to Birmingham I should hope we were fishing in different ponds compared to them. Perennial lower half crisis club despite dominating the first page of BCFC google.

Another yes man who will give SL a daily update on everything that goes on rather than just being left and trusted to get on With it and judged on what we see on the pitch.

To be fair from what (granted little) that I have seen of him, I don't think that he would be the archetypal 'yes man'. But he may very well agree to operate within the set up. I'm not sure that other people's 'favourites' would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the great and good who contribute on OTIB, our knowledge and expertise is limitless. In such times our collective wisdom needs to be harnessed no appointment should be made until a thread lasting at least 90 pages have discussed the pros and cons of the new man and consensus reached. Then and only then should we see white smoke billowing from Ashton Gate to herald a new dawn of our quest to conquer all before us and dominate world football.

Birmingham may once have been an attractive job but its not well run imo. Constantly fighting relegation, money issues, a stadium that is half filled on the best of days, problems with the owners. Compare that to us. An owner who is willing to give managers a chance, a stadium that is majority full on a bad day, fighting for the play offs. I'd say we are the more attractive offer between us an Birmingham (no offence to any Birmingham fans reading this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
