nester Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 that he'll get the poke if we don't go up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I don't think anyone knows for sure....but if City don't get up Wilsons position would be difficult to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I think it will be likely, which is a shame cos he does have our team playing good football, which makes up for his sometimes strange selections/subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Humble Realist Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 No Wilson will not be sacked if we do not go up because we can not afford to sack him. The only way he will go will be if he resigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 One of Wilsons' strengths is his integrity and if City don't make it up I would expect him and Barlowe to depart AG "my mutual consent" with Steve Landsdown. After that I would like to see a young promising manager in place who is trying to make it. Leroy Rosenior,Steve Cotterill or Gary Johnson.Someone of that ilk.They'd certainly be cheaper!

Dave L Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 We have shown year on year improvement under Danny, but the only way he can inprove on last season's third place is promotion. Obviously we all hope that happens and that he is then able to stabilise us in the first division. But if the unthinkable happens and we don't go up, I think his position would be very difficult. Could he motivate the players one more time to do what they'd narrowly failed to do twice on the trot? Indeed, would he be the right man to do that? Would he have the personal motivation to do it all over again? Would the board decide that it was time for a change? Would the simmering levels of discontent that some fans have been expressing about his management this season bubble up and turn into an unstoppable demand for change? I don't pretend to know the answer to these questions, but they are the ones that everyone will be asking. I really hope Danny takes us up and is still here next season. But if we don't make it, I'd be very surprised if he is. Either way, it should make for a very interesting close season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 How can you say we have been playing good football. I haven't seen any this term. It has been dire and only excused if we are promoted. Wilson would have nothing left if failure is repeated, remember what SteveL said, Failure is NOT an option.

RedTauntonian Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 some of our footy has been good, remember the 5-0 win at the start of the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 1. We will go up this season 2. In a parallel universe, the City team that fails in their play off final will see Danny Wilson retained, leading City to a long awaited championship in May 2005. 3. In a third dimension, Danny Wilson starts the 2004/5 season with a record of W5 D2 L3 and is replaced by Arsene Wenger (apparently the versions in the 3rd dimension aren't quite as good as in ours).

Bristol Boy Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 No, it's just on a lot of peoples wish list He signed a three year contract at the start of the season and, simply put, we can't afford to sack him and he's to stubborn to resign.

This season our football has been worse than last. We have defended better (apart from set pieces) as our record shows, at the result of scoring almost half as many goals. Progress? Stagnation? Yes!

bobby Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 who really knows what will happen - but first let's see if we get promotion - and I still believe we can, but a lpt rests on tomorrows game. So let's hope Danny picks the right team (whatever that may be) and we get a draw at the very least and hopefully a win When we go up there will still be some who argue Wilson should go, if we don't then there will be many more questions and people asking for him to go. Whatever, the decision will have to wait til we know what division we are in and will be taken by Danny/Steve not us! I'm sure all involved are aware of the consequences I guess we will all have different views but at the end of the day will not be our decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
