onlyotib Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Just noticed he’s joined Carlisle on a 2 year deal. How the mighty have fallen. I think in himself not joining us has probably destroyed his career after what he said about us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturny Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Move on. I doubt he ever thinks about us, why should we spare a second for him? How many years ago now was it? His career would still be the same if he joined us or not I reckon. Let's be real, he didn't miss out on anything by snubbing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's anyway being blamed for what his Dad said, IIRC "Bristol City? No chance." I don't recall Zach ever saying anything negative about us.

Pretty much the final kick in the teeth for Cotts as well. Still, they went down, we didn’t so **** him and his dad. Turned out to be a lucky escape for us. Funny how things turn out....

MC RISK77 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Flipping hell only happend 6 years ago…. Every time he makes a move somewhere someone mentions him turning us down. I doubt very much if he cares about turning Bristol City down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I’m not sure that there is anything to let go. He turned us/Steve Cotterill down, luckily for us, and his career has taken a nose dive. Taking the piss I think is perfectly acceptable! Its not as if there is anyone having sleepless nights over it……..? However if there is, GET OVER IT,!

Yeah, have to agree. There was a point when he was a really talented kid bursting onto scene at Bolton and its a massive shame he didn't fulfil his huge potential. He was a kid. His Dad was maybe a bit naiive when talking publicly and wanted the best for his very talented son. Hardly a capital offense. Joining us at the time is unlikely to have helped rekindle his career.

I disagree.......what is better than rubbing the little tykes nose in the dirt, and as a bonus, we get his Dad as a target too? It's human nature, and football fans are just like the proverbial elephant, as they never forget, especially when their club has suffered a heinous insult?

Having those higher expectations isn't the issue, it's how they were expressed, in a discourteous manner, that is what sticks in the craw for some.

I think you need to see a shrink to cure you of this unreasonable hatred occasioned by the Clough snr and Jnr snub. Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with you. That's why I think it will be a good idea for you to see the shrink and then tell me what they said.

LondonBristolian Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Maybe not the popular view but I feel a bit for him, and his Dad. Not every young player or their family is going to be media trained or incredibly diplomatic and these things said in the heat of the moment come back to haunt people. He really looked at one point like he was going places but Forest were in disarray when he joined and I don't know whether it was that, the fact new managers didn't take to him or what it was but he's obviously not fulfilled his potential. I imagine there are sliding doors moments for any footballer but who knows what would have happened if he'd joined us. Maybe it would have done differently or maybe we'd have spent £3 million or whatever it was on a player that never fulfilled his potential anyway. Either way, good luck to him at Carlisle and I hope he gets back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 And if we had signed him, we'd be moaning that we spent a fortune on a player who never reached his early career potential and we'd all agree that his dad was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 In 2031 when a 36 year old Zac Clough takes a Player/Manager position at Brackley Town Fc are we still going to get a thread saying “how the mighty have fallen/I wonder what his Dad thinks?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
