rumbellow Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 On the football league show (late last night on itv). Mark Mcghee said "Bristol City are the best team in the division, Forget about Plymouth and QPR and all the other 3 teams in the play offs can do is make it as difficult as we can for Bristol City to win promotion". True or reverse physcology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcityup Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I can see where he's coming from but the leauge table doesnt lie, We have crap strikers and thats why QPR and Plymouth are deservedly in division 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I saw that as well and he's not the first person to have said that this season about us - do they all know something we dont?? 6 pts of Plymouth and 4 of QPR would suggest he might be right - so why aren't we already promoted?? A question for the 1st June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 No reverse psychology going on there then. He does seem to have a lot of respect for City even though we wouldn`t give him a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Perhaps he still wants the job and knows he might get it in the summer if things dont work out in the next two weeks or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcityup Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 When Wilson goes to Leeds in the summer we'l have alot of candidates for the city job, colin lee being number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Are you MAD, Colin Lee, WHOOSH. MsGhee has a very big soft spot since coming down as a 16 yr old apprentice.......he's applied for the City job twice already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edson Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 When Wilson goes to Leeds in the summer we'l have alot of candidates for the city job, colin lee being number 1. Wilson isn't even on Leeds' shortlist, according to today's papers. Strachan is favourite, and other names being mentioned are Iain Dowie, George Graham, Neil Warnock and Kevin Blackwell. Danny is contracted to Bristol City for two more seasons, we have an excellent chance of going up through the play-offs and Colin Lee is the worst shout I have heard in a very long time (apart from when you've put his name forward in the past). Steve Lansdown has pinned his faith in maintaining stability at the club, by sticking with Wilson when many people wanted a change. I would be very surprised if Wilson then took the opportunity to walk away, when he has had such faith shown in him by the board. If we go up, then Steve L will, deservedly, have had his faith in Wilson rewarded and I would hope that would be the start of the next chapter in Wilson's career with us, not the end of the line.

I think this is possibly the most reasoned and well made point on this issue, well done Edson - I for once (and worryingly so) find myself in complete agreement with you.

edson Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 And if we stay down? Then, I would say, Steve's faith has not been rewarded and he would be well within his rights to say as much to Danny and hope that the manager was man enough to admit it and walk away. What I am saying is, despite my own personal reservations about DW, it cannot be denied that the faith the chairman has shown in him is to be applauded and I only hope that it reaps the rewards it deserves. However, if we go up and another club comes knocking, I hope DW remembers the faith shown in him by Steve L and repays it in spades, by pledging himself to the club when temptation calls, just as Steve has pledged himself to Danny, when there must have been a temptation to look elsewhere. Reason for edit: Apparently, DW is a 'manager' not a 'manger'. That's the rumour, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that we can continue the forward momentum we have shown since Danny came to the club, and that he will lead us into Division One next season. But if he doesn't, then it wouldn't surprise me to find all sorts of excreta colliding with a variety of electrically operated air cooling devices.

SL has thrown much into the club & given DW more support than most Managers in Div 1. If we fail, it won't be on the part of the Directors, it will fall firmly on those of the players & Manager. Would DW see himself as failed - I think the Directors will. All makes for an interesting few weeks. If we get up then, I expect DW to stay & think the type of football we can play will do well in Div1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ALFSDAD Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Noooooooooooo - never Mark Mc GHee hee hee For reasons I won't go into right now, I am well aware of the man's total incompetence as a manager from his time at Millwall. If you think DW's persistence with playing Leapy is bad, you would not believe what Maggie got up to at MFC. He would not change his first choice starting line-up even if injuries warranted it - he would rather play everyone out of position (hence his albeit belated sacking). So if you want to see Louis Carey in the Micky Bell position and Leapy at right back in order to keep Miller Roberts and Murray in the frame, then call for Magoo. Don't even start me off about inspires signings such as Bob Peeters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been cloned As the Directors fell into the Supporters Club on Saturday, I could see your eyes were glazed. It wasn't long after, the same door, in came DW. The same glazed look What does go on within the Chairmans club? Your bonding session with DW is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
