supercidered Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 21 minutes ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: What, because Hughton wasn’t my first preference? God no. We have loads to offer at City but we are hardly a footballing hot bed. A Manager of Hughton's standing and proven success is not to be sniffed at. To say that you are 'deflated' at this prospect is hard for me to understand but each to their own and fair enough. You also mention 'sustainable' and 'short term'. At this point we don't know that either of those would be an issue. Given Steve Lansdown's support he gave Lee, I can't see why it would be different for CH. I would prefer CH over a Ryan Lowe type because I feel this is more of a gamble. A track record of Bury and sneaking promotion with Plymouth hardly sends the pulse racing for me. CH just feels the right fit. Not perfect but the best we could or should expect. Again, just my view though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.G.Red Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 2 minutes ago, Phileas Fogg said: I think Robins is a reasonably sensible choice, but I think to push on as a club we need someone higher profile. We need someone who can galvanise the fans and increase our profile. I think the board understand this too, hence the names we've seemingly approached this time around. My concern with Hughton is whether he can replicate the same achievements with a (presumably) smaller budget to work with. I don't think he'd come here without some assurances that our budget would be competitive though, so might not be an issue. Why would Robins come here? He only signed a new contract in October and as he has said ‘Coventry is in his blood’, He’s got Coventry promoted and they have just announced the proposals for a new stadium. Similar to what LJ was attracted to here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to what LJ was attracted to here. I wasn't advocating going for Robins, just responding to @JonDolman. You're better off asking him. For the record, I think if we wanted him we could probably get Robins. He already knows SL and they apparently have a good working relationship. We're a more stable club than Coventry and on paper have a better chance of promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 9 minutes ago, Phileas Fogg said: The very reassuring thing about this potential appointment is that it's a firm signal of intent about our aspirations of promotion. Gerrard wouldn't join a club who didn't have promotion aspirations either and it looks like we were definitely interested in him too. Obviously all clubs presumably want promotion, but an appointment like this would indicate we want it in the next season or two. An appointment like Lowe (for example) wouldn't. An appointment like this is a statement. On paper he's the most sensible possible appointment out of the interested/available managers so lets hope we get it over the line before another club comes in. I was about to post the very same thoughts. It doesn't have to be Chris Hughton, arguments can be made for others, but Hughton would be an appointment that would say to the rest of the football world that Bristol City are serious about achieving promotion...as opposed to hopeful.

Do we offer interviews for the 200 candidates that would prob apply I would have thought that a short list would have been drawn up and those applicants on it out of work would have had a formal interview within 3 weeks.

We are not a million miles off from being a top 6 team now Lansdown will be expecting top 6 next season Forget top 6, top 2 if we want promotion, play offs not our strength is it? Three years sounds perfectly reasonable, we need quality in depth, and at the moment we just don't have that. Johnson has left us very short in that regard, CH will if he comes sort that side of it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
