Harry Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 17 minutes ago, When the river runs said: I think his name is Bob mills, go and give him some grief Ah that’s a shame. I quite like Mills. Jim White is an utter ***, but Mills is ok. I’ve now read his comments and he does say “meaning no disrespect”, so seems fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Gerrard has now officially ruled himself out of the City job , saying that having read OTIB he realises that he's proved a failure as Bristol City manager before even starting the job.

You don't come on this forum and spout logical common sense - it's not the done thing at all! My only caveat is that with the impact of ffp and now coronavirus, other than clubs with parachute payments, there won't be many splashing the cash any more than for the immediate future. Quite so, and I daresay if anyone came in for Gerard, Rangers would expect (and get) millions in compo which I cannot believe many clubs ay our level could justify for the reasons you cite.

He hasn’t though. Rangers refused to comment on the speculation and all talksport said was “its their understanding that he’s not interested”. It’s not like Talksport have never got anything wrong...

Lew-T Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 2 minutes ago, Nogbad the Bad said: Nothing to do with Jim White - I heard about Gerrard on TalkSport before White took over at 11. It wasn't just about him having no interest in the City job, he's not interested in leaving Rangers for any other club. Keown spoke heroically on BCFC's behalf when the other guest belittled the club (imo.) although comparing football passion in Glasgow, Liverpool etc. with Bristol was ridiculous in the first place. This. We’re not blessed with past and present glories of the Cities he has mentioned. What does he expect? Really poor comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted July 17, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 1 hour ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: Painfully slow?? If you want to recruit a senior manager in any other industry you’re talking about a process that could last three months at least, sometimes longer. Lee Johnson was sacked 13 days ago. You are correct - in any other industry that would be the case but it is very unusual in footballing terms In football you don't have to go through all the advertising of the roll etc it is on a plate for you, and any club worth anything would always have a plan on future recruitment should the Manager need replacing. 1 hour ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: Just to add that Cotterill was sacked on 14th January 2016. Johnson was appointed on 6th February 2016. That is 23 days. There have only been 13 days since Johnson was sacked One big difference in the above was because of the Christmas break delayed getting him free of Barnsley Many others will confirm on here that he was lined up to replace Cotts long before SC got the boot, and it was one of the worst kept secrets in and around football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably only compare Liverpool to Glasgow perhaps and even then, its at another level up there although the sectarian element undoubtedly adds to the "passion" so not entirely football.

We are regarded as a footballing backwater I’m afraid but that can change. Sustained top flight football is key. Dare I say we are now an established Championship club but we need to kick on.

Leeds and Forest had better histories than us I think but I take your point entirely. Like everywhere, we have some very passionate fans although I sense like you we need a prolonged spell f relative success to light the fuse.

He won Champions League final almost on his own. Same in FA Cup. After an in and out start to his career, Houllier put him on the right path to success. And oh boy, what a career as a leader.

I don't think it will happen but one difference (amongst many) between Johnson and Gerrard is the quality of coaches worked under as players and the lessons learned from those experiences. "While it was under Gérard Houllier that Gerrard made his senior debut, in Rafa Benítez, Roy Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish and Brendan Rodgers he also worked with several highly respected managers at Liverpool, and he was also selected for England by Kevin Keegan, Sven-Göran Eriksson, Steve McClaren, Fabio Capello and Hodgson."

Steve Watts Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 I don't know how many times it has to be said that prices on this sort of thing depend on where the money is being placed and very little else. There will obviously be some exceptions in that Hughton is a realistic contender, whereas Sir Alex Ferguson isn't for example. Which is why SAF would be 5000/1.... Money being placed on him would bring him into 500/1, but that is all, whereas contenders deemed possible will see their prices fluctuate wildly as money is thrown about. As we've seen. Prices on the whole are merely an indication of who people think might be appointed, followed by bookies mitigating their losses should that be the case.
