CotswoldRed Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 hindsight and all that. He should have just acted like a professional and maybe he'd be playing in the championship with us. Only himself to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rizzle Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I think thats wishful thinking on his part. He's assuming that he'd be forst choice for them now being one of the better teams in the championship. Lets not forget he moved to hull to try and further his career and that never worked out. He ended up back at rovers. id suggest the main mistake was leaving us for hull. Chances are if GJ had liked him then he may still be a regular centre half for us now. To be honest i dont think the knee injury he got at hull helped him much, he's not really been the same since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a failure to secure a transfer to Cardiff that undermined his career: it was his own lack of professionalism at a crucial stage in his development as a player, which was why Brian Tinnion effectively showed him the door, along with Tommy Doherty, who one suspects had an unhelpful influence on Coles' attitude. He is by no means the only talented Academy product who thought he could do better elsewhere and ended up back in League One - or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economou Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Linky... There's one important word missing from your heading, unless you're being deliberately obtuse & I've missed the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pederho ll Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Goodness me, is Danny Coles for real.......I thought he was from Bristol or surrounding area (?) and comes out in public to state that his biggest regret was that he didn't sign for Cardiff.........we all dislike the Gas, but even this might get up their noses! Mind you, he really does think he is pretty special, only last Sunday I walked past him in Sainsburys (Emerson Green) and he was strutting around as if he was Ronaldo, although he did side step my daughters late challenge down the produce aisle, but I am convinced that was more luck that judgement!

Slave to the rhythm Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 he gave away SO MANY penalties. Indeed. Wasn't he to blame for the penalty in the play off final in 2004? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Indeed. Wasn't he to blame for the penalty in the play off final in 2004? Just blame him anyway, he's a cock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest churchill gaffer Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Linky... Who says he would have made it? He is an averge player in Div 1 As you know, it is a masive leap up to the Championship He couldn't do it with Hull!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Indeed. Wasn't he to blame for the penalty in the play off final in 2004? Yep. Challenged their striker with the finesse of an elephant wearing stilettos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City_pete1 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Linky... Not selling Coles or Aaron Brown for more money than they worth should be a regret for CITY ! 500k for Coles and 750k-1m for Brown (WBA) were the figures talked about in the press. Mental. If only you could go back in time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citynut54 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Yep. Challenged their striker with the finesse of an elephant wearing stilettos. The elephant would probably do a better job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 He is by no means the only talented Academy product who thought he could do better elsewhere and ended up back in League One - or worse. Perhaps it's not the players, but their agents (boo, hiss) who are to blame. They convince the promising young player that he's too good for a small club like Bristol City and get him looking elsewhere. Of course the agent is only too well aware that every time the player is transferred, the agent gets some cash out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I could see Coles as one of those players that keeps going lower and lower and ending up playing for Weston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
