Major Isewater Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 I know this topic has been discussed before but the timing has changed. We will, potentially, be bringing in a DOF is it possible that Mr Jordan could be a useful addition to the club’s reform ? o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Much as I have been an advocate of Joe coming back to Ashton Gate we now have a manager of sufficient stature that makes his all round knowledge more than what we need in my opinion.

Oh Louie louie Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 How much did stanley and france cost out of intrest? As for wimbleton, and mcgarvey, we didnt lose a fortune on them in even in 80s money. Fair play for bringing up paul france though dolman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 I think at one point major we had at least 8 players with perms in the team. Keith waughs, with the blonde streaks was a real vidal sasson job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full back Signed at the start of the 1989-90 promotion season, but never played. I remember we signed two Paul’s (Wimbleton and France) and two Daves (Smith and Rennie). Saw him play in a one-season friendly (at Trowbridge I think) but that was it. Quite disturbing that I remember this… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 If we get a Director of Football, it should be a Director of Football. Joe Jordan is a great manager and a great coach but has never done a Director of Football job, never shown an interest in a Director of Football job and never really given any indiction as to whether or not he has the skills to do a Director of Football job. Aside from anything else - given his pedigree - it would be absolute madness to get Joe Jordan in and not use him working with the players on the training ground. If we need another first team coach, I'd absolutely love it to be Joe Jordan. If we need a Director of Football, let's get someone with the skills and enthusiasm for that particular job - not someone who has never done it before and has shown no interest in doing so.

Went on to play for Huddersfield Town and if I remember correctly scored to get them a 1-1 at Ashton Gate on a night if we had won we would have been promoted. We then went to Bolton lost 1-0 and had to endure the 2nd May at Twerton and just limped over the line by Reading drawing at home to Tranmere on a rearranged Thursday night game to get us over the line.

A great manager? Can't say I can see that. Got us promoted in second place behind some side who ended up going non-league and then jumped ship as he wanted to enhance his chances of managing the Scotland national side. Great, he got us promoted, but what else has he done to suggest he is even a 'good' manager, before we even get to the great manager you describe.

Great, he got us promoted, but what else has he done to suggest he is even a 'good' manager, before we even get to the great manager you describe. He got us promoted. Lots of other managers failed to do so. "Great" might be an exaggeration - I was a kid when he was managing us and barely remember it- but I wasn't over-thinking it to any degree. I was just being respectful to other posters' positive memories of him whilst suggesting there was no reason to see he would be suitable as Director of Football. I wasn't necessarily expecting to be put on the witness stand over a throwaway sentence. The fact he's subsequently spent years coaching at a high level probably suggests that's where he and others see his skillset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
