What this club needs more than anything is the raising of its profile in the football world. Even if SG didn't eventually cut the mustard, the fact that he left Rangers to join us is a sea change in our standing and reputation which would stand us in good stead for future recruitment of players, managers, coaching staff and even fans. And you never know, SG might be our manager in the Premier League for many years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not we make the gas look poor relations in the delusional stakes. If entitled. Rangers would expect massive compensation that would be diverted from the playing budget.

He did a solid job and nearly first go success, number of notable feats but that's a plum first job! He's doing fine at Chelsea but again nothing spectacular thusfar I think. Bolstered by an allegedly dubious amortisation method and a claimed to be overvalued stadium....it's not like for like at all. Hope they get hammered in the EFL hearing. Gerrard doing okay with Rangers but nothing mind blowing IMO. https://www.vavel.com/en/football/2020/05/19/chelsea-fc/1021375-mel-morris-frank-lampard-blew-me-away.html Jobs for the boys a bit.

RumRed Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 15 hours ago, Superjack said: Lots of reasons why people might have 'second' teams, Premier or not. I have explained this on here before, but my Grandma was a Scouser and supported Everton. She died in early May 1984. Two weeks later Howard Kendall's team won the FA Cup, and that was the start of arguably the greatest Everton team of all time. She missed it. And I miss her. So I 'took up the baton', if you will. It really boils my piss when people infer on here (not necessarily aimed at you, as I don't think that you were) that if you have an interest in another team it somehow makes you less of a City fan. It's not a penis contest. If it was, I'd win. You’re quite right, I have never lived within 100 miles (that’s a guess) of Bristol, but BCFC are my team due to family. Always have been and always will. Supporting Worthing is more about an afternoon out with my dad (Also a BCFC supporter obvs) and a cheap way of seeing some actually relatively decent football. It’s the people that have no personal connection to a team I don’t understand. I’ll give the penis contest a miss I think, bit cold here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daored Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Just wonder with Gerrard’s work with the youth team at Liverpool whether he will be more inclined to promote younger players. @Davefevs if he was to get the job , what Liverpool youngsters could we be likely to get?

RedRock Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I’ll take him providing he brings his boots and plays defensive midfield. Other than that, we’ve had a young, up-coming manager and that failed. Why the hell would we want to repeat the same mistake? Typical City, but I thought we were better than that now (and not Appleton either as part of a cosy little ex-Oxford ‘clan’). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of team that if you saw a wee guy wearing their strip on holiday you’d be like aw that’s a sin Despite them being perennial nonentities, their deluded fans have completely unfounded delusions of grandeur. As an example, they had a decent run in the League Cup a few years ago and they convinced themselves that after promotion (that was a given), they’d be competing with Man City for the title. Think they finished 12th. It may be too much cider, but could be the affects of fertiliser for the carrot crunching Wurzel freaks. Before they got rid of Johnson, they were content in that they’d see season on season improvement if they finished 8th Some beauty’s on their forum talking about little Bristol City. The sweaty socks aren’t getting worried are they Just signed up to there forum. I'll open with is this chew on my nans teet, any other suggestions? And going through it, it might as well be a Celtic forum, everything in the context of what there up to.. f that tripe. SG not as popular as he should be with them either.

I get your point, but getting Bristol city promoted and maintaining a place in the PL is a bigger challenge than finishing 2nd and out in the group stage in Europe. I realize staying there and waiting is the easiest option. But he never came across as that kind of guy to me. I know he will be a Liverpool manager one day. I have doubts it will be straight after klopp, if he has any smarts he will wait untill klopps replacement fails (Ala Moyes at manu) and the come in and save the preverbial day. I'd prefer Houghton, but it would be a good job for SG and he knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
