He had a lot of patience shown towards him here, and I'd be amazed if he was given that anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I do, he rescued us when we were a mess, consistently improved our league position, and developed some young players that we then moved on for a bloody fortune.

I've followed GJ's career since he left, look out for what Cotterill is up to and will with LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An indulged and divisive figure, one of my all time least favourite City managers. But that's just my view! I think the fan base should move on. A new era dawns!

Brentford have got one step further than us but they're doing it in a very Lee Johnson's Bristol City way! Go on a winning run to get into a position of huge opportunity. Have promotion in your own hands and blow it. And now have the playoff chance and potentially will blow that too. That's so us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the time due diligence and the interview process is taking I would think we could easily get there.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Please, not Adkins. Look at his recent record: Reading relegated in his first season in charge; one season at Sheffield Utd in which they achieved their lowest league position for 30 years; two seasons at Hull finishing 18th and 13th in the Championship. It’s hard to think of a less inspiring appointment. Please no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Adkins would be a good appointment for us in my opinion. His sides generally have been quite attacking, did do a good job at Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find that stance unfathomable and pretty disrespectful. Yes we needed a change, but he took us from relegation fodder to consistently being in the mix for a top six finish, and for his faults, absolutely loves the club and undoubtedly gave it 100% of his very best every day of his tenure. So, I think in answer to your question, plenty of people care what he does next and will wish him well in whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
