LondonBristolian Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Just now, P'head Red said: Strange given what Lansdown said in his interview regarding appointing for the long term To be fair, Lansdown gave that interview on Friday evening. Saturday's game, plus Kalas and Simpson's interviews may have pressed the need to get someone in for the short term right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capman Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 19 minutes ago, Finley_Smith10 said: That’s RoyDeAlien, don’t trust anything he says. I think the rumours have come from his odds being slashed massively. As others have said the bookies would’ve slashed them due to someone who knows something putting some money on. Personally I would not trust anything until it is announced. But if was in the board someone who is instantly available, with a reputation for getting things done and who could get respect and a response from the players would have a great attraction. I would want to be announcing within days. The players need a new start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You remind them if they want a new contract they need to play well. It's really quite basic. If they don't respond, don't play them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Maybe it's only until the end of the season to see if he can work with Slimey, if he isn't off to Suffolk? Seems a win win for me, we get a bloody good manager who can ascertain the squad before clearing the decks and bringing in what he wants IF we stay up.

hinsleburg Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Based on Appletons comments earlier this week, Pearson until the end of the season and Appleton to take over from then? Personally I would rather just have Pearson longer term but not sure he fits the structure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I would imagine it’s a chance for both sides to have a look at things & then decide at the end of the season. We need someone with fire & tactical nouse to keep us up. We then need someone to take us forward. Would definitely be a good option. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archie andrews Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Just now, JonDolman said: He obviously has a good track record. What will the entertainment be like on the pitch? Does he like playing young players? I am thinking he is an old school manager, which I know is exactly what some fans want, but not really sure that's what Lansdown will be looking for. Good thing is Lansdown has said we have a lot of leeway with FFP and that the new manager can reorganise the squad. But if he is not particularly keen on the pathway, then surely he'd be the wrong man for our model. balls to the model we need results asap.....

Called us 'Bristol' on the radio when supposedly in the running after Cotts left. So should get on with Ashton perfectly! But if this does happen, I'm willing to forgive him He's exactly the type we need, imo. Someone to put the fear of God into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
