Mr Mosquito Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I'm just wondering when the BCFC board will finally bring in a new manager to rescue BCFC from its current mediocrity. Will we have to wait until Wilson's contract is up in 2.5 years? Or will the directors act now before too many fans drift off. I'm wondering if we could possibly afford to bring in a manager like Ron Atkinson i.e. someone that has good coaching skills with the ability to bring in good players. :Confused13: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 You seem to know a lot! Why don't you take over as manager of Bristol City Football Club? Bring in Spence, Saunders and Duncan to the club! I think it just might work... :how funny: :Party27: :Costumed19: :Party12: :sport5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mosquito Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I first started panicking about Danny Wilson's ability to get us promotion back in April 2002. About 3,000 City fans travelled to Blackpool with the expectation of us getting a result there to get us into the play-offs. Needless to say we lost 1-5 to a Blackpool side with little to play for. One and a half years have passed since that dreadful defeat and we've got even more Danny Wilson signed players and still look no better. Danny Wilson seems as clueless as Pulis to me.

Rule The Waves Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Well the man has now been here for 3 and a half years and we're no further forwards as a team than what we were before he came. We may be in a better financial position but that has nothing to do with him. I think the time for a new manager passed a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Orj Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 i no wilson isnt no ferguson or wenger but loyality is the key 4 sucess. It is such a common misconception to point to succesful managers and use them as examples of why stability is a good thing. They have been in their jobs for a long time because they are good, they aren't good because they have been in the same jobs for a long time. If they had poor records, they'd have been given the boot a long time ago. No team is going to sack a succesful manager hence the longest serving ones are usually the better ones. Unfortunately, I think Bristol City employ the exception to the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Reply to Orj Unfortunately BCFC do remain the exception to the rule in keeping faith with a mediocre manager. The people of Bristol and its surrounds are begging for a successful football side but BCFC and the Gas are failing them badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gibmonkey Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 RON ATKINSON!!!! You have to be a gashead to reccomend such ###### managers!! Why not go for malcom alison? or Barry Fry? When a young wilson took Barnsley to the top flight many said ' I wish we could have Wilson'. Well we have him!!! Get a grip!!!! Were a club with potential!! We have'nt reached our potential yet. Therefore we are ######!!! Who would want to come? After all they would have to win 5 - 0 every week playing entertaining football just to keep the fans happy!! Or the 'fans' may go and watch yeovil instead ( as suggested in another forum ). We have a large structure at the club and all the teams throughout play a system all the way through. This is to ensure that when players take a step up they are not phased by the change in style etc. For a club like city we need to base our future on a solid youth structure which we can be helped by continuity throughout the club. The board are doing there best. Are the 'fans' doing theres? I think most are but we must show it!!! Sing loud, sing proud!!! and remember - its always worse at the mem!!! WE HAVE NO DEVINE RIGHT TO ANYTHING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon Hater Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 "theres another 29 games to go yet. thats 87pts to play 4. ne thing is possible" Relegation!? And in reply to gibmonkeys post I don't care what's going on down the Mem to be honest, there ain't any Rovers fans round here to laugh at, only Swindon, and I support City so if Rovers are losing and we are then that won't make me happy. The traiditional Wilson fans always use the same excuses, remember his time at Barnsley etc. etc. well I also remember his time at Sheffield Wednesday, where he had such a disastirous stint there, that the local MP's moved to get him sacked. This club is not going anywhere apart from backwards, selling Scott Murray was the worst thing this club could have done, and don't give me that rubbish that he wanted to go because he didn't, we just couldn't match Reading's wages but we still shouldn't have sold him! I mean look at what we've done with the money, bought a striker that we didn't need, we needed a poacher, as in Mark Robins or someone, so we sign someone totally opposite, then Luke Wilkshire who has not impressed me one bit. The football is so boring aswell, Luton at home was a disgrace and it was like watching grass grow, it's no suprise that fans are drifting away, even I'm losing interest at the moment, although I still go. I honestly feel most managers in football at the moment could easyily take City up this season, play a attacking team at AG and get rid of the dead wood. Without Scott Murray, Bristol City are nothing much special at all, and the directors underestimated that, now we're regretting that. We should have brought John Ward back, but fair play to Cheltenham, they've done that and will get the benefits from him. Leeds paid off compensation for Peter Reid and Terry Venables when they're in 80 million pounds debt, surely City could just do this and get rid of Wilson. The board have got to sort this out because this is a nightmare, I don't see any proof that we will make the top half, let alone top two as some fans are dreaming about. Wilson out.

Guest Red_Rat Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 We can't get rid of Danny Wilson, consistency with managers usually results in some sucess, he deserves at least until the end of the season,if we aren't promoted then,well i'd agree he have failed in his and the clubs expectations.

Uncle Ern Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 The major point is that we appear to have gone backwards this season,rather than to have made steady progress. This would indicate that Wilson can't take us any further. Under Dicks we made consistent progress even with little money to spend. Wilson has hit the buffers. The performances show little idea of how to penetrate the most average of defences. I can quite honestly say I have been bored out of my skull this season. Wrexham away was the perfect cure for insomnia. There doesn't appear to be any grounds for optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Alan Dicks versus Danny Wilson I too remember the cries of "Dicks must go". The same kind of culture does not exist at Ashton Gate these days with very little vocal discontent directed at Wilson. To compare Dicks' achievements to the underperforming Wilson, as one post above did, is not right. Dicks got us promotion to the top flight after almost 10 years in charge. Alan Dicks' sides were always capable of beating the top sides in the land - I was there to witness some of those victories. Contrast Dicks' achievements to those of Wilson. Wilson has won the LDV - a trophy Dicks could not have won, had it been around in the 1970's, as no Dicks BCFC side was ever in Div 3 (now Div 2). In contrast to Dicks BCFC sides, I always have the sneaking suspicion that any Danny Wilson side could lose to the ####piest sides in the land and can in no way compete with the best as under Dicks. Dicks could motivate his BCFC players for top games Wilson cannot. I agree with Red Boy and Elvis_Dolman's posts on this subject as I too am becoming increasingly wrestless with our lack of progress with Wilson at the helm. Wilson out Up the City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyRed Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 I think it is fairly obvious to all that this is Wilson's crunch season. If he fails to win promotion this season, I think we'll have a new manager by next August. Having said that, I still think the majority of the whingers have short memories when it comes to the "What's Wilson ever done for us?" question. And I still think he'll turn things around and we will win promotion in next May. The last thing we want to do now is change managers - even if we could afford to - it just doesn't make sense at this moment in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level headed as always SR, I wouldn't say will win promotion, I'd say can and that's what Team City (board, management, players, supporters) should be focussing on.
