B) Nails on the superiority of the Championship over the SPL. SG has demonstrated his loyalty throughout his career, I didn't think he would leave Rangers for us, he wants to see the job through. Far enough. I don't have a problem with the club trying to get the man that might be out of their reach, rather someone who would say yes straight away. Well it's a statement of how far we HAVENT come because he is not interested! 8 minutes ago, Sweeneys Penalties said: I'm happy he wont be coming to BS3.

Not the right appointment for us. Good luck to Gerrard and we move on. To the Premiership and beyond! .... I think you’re fixated on Gerrard, he’s a manager in the Premiership already - our top tier ain’t called that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you can talk your way around this pretty easily. If, and i've no idea if it's the case but let's say theoretically, terms had been agreed with Hughton, you simply say to him that he was one of the final few names in the frame, discussions with the others have concluded and he was the preferred candidate. Gerrard could have been the number one target but we could have failed, and it could have become public, to come to terms with Hughton. You're establishing if an agreement can be reached, not offering someone the job. That's the line, if needed, at least.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeez Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Can we reign in the SG circle jerk. It will be an absolute miracle if SL can prise him away from the Rangers job. SG has literally got nothing to lose up there and far more at risk taking on an a bang average championship club. Gonna be embarrassing having a longer thread for the guy who didn’t even get the job. Can see the parallels with the Rugby and admire it but who the Fudge let it be known publicly he’s our main target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGBjammy Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Would have been fun, but a massive risk, expensive wages. Also fear we would become the team to beat and "Steven Gerrard's Bristol city" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things are rapidly covered early doors with agents. That’s how it works and has done for a long time . MA knows his agent well . what makes you think there were discussions? Because a tweet said so? We'd have asked his availability, from the start he's always said not interested. Details of his supposed salary offer was a nonsense, details like that don't become public knowledge unless someone is spinning a story.

S_C Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 4 minutes ago, billywedlock said: of course but sometimes there is also an element where someone wants to know you really want them . CH might be able to say stuff it in this case or he has already signed . No idea . I’m only surprised we could not conclude with SG to be honest . It would not have been wages . We would have known all that in a 2 min convo with his agent . Pat Lam was given free reign to bring in his team and create in his words a world class back room team . Others coming in will want certain levels of freedom if they are high level . One person is not going to turn us into promotion winners . Honestly no idea on the reality . But still find it strange SG was not concluded . let’s see who they announce . They are aiming high which should please is all . You clearly know more than me on the subject, but you’d think if Hughton isn’t announced tomorrow or Friday then either we don’t want/can’t afford him or he’s stalling us. Get what you’re saying about making him/anyone feel wanted but sure he’s been around long enough to know processes. What will be interesting, Hughton doesn’t feel like a natural progression for a club who’ve pursued Gerrard whilst looking for a ‘sort’, so him not being the man shouldn’t necessarily be interpreted as us failing in our pursuit of him. As for Gerrard, interesting to see where his career goes from here. Can’t see someone (Premier League) taking a chance on him in January, so it’s a West Ham etc in the summer or a bigger Championship club than us.

RedRock Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Gerard not coming? Good. Not what was needed. Indeed, extremely worrying we were going after him. Unless, of course, he was just being used as a smokescreen to a current Championship manager we announce tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
