redpole Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 How come Billy Davies name is not being put around on here or even on the betting? I thought as he's out of work he would be on the betting list!
glynriley Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 He's 12/1 with Stan James. The odds put up earlier were from Skybet http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/bristol-city-specials/next-permanent-manager

Guest CARLE08 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 hes gone 3/1 to go back to forest how does that make sense....
Rocky Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Billy is a ferocious character who would certainly take no shit, did well at Derby, messed around at Florist by the acquisition committee! Certainly wouldn't be disapointed with him.
Red Robin Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 hes gone 3/1 to go back to forest how does that make sense.... BIG MISTAKE by forest letting him go,I think with the chairman Dougherty standing down,BD has unfinished business there. I think he could be the manager required here to ignite city's potential. Depends what the powers that be want in place.
redmeanie Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 How come Billy Davies name is not being put around on here or even on the betting? I thought as he's out of work he would be on the betting list! Maybe Skybet's just stopped taking money on Davies cos they reckon he's got the job
Red Robin Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Maybe Skybet's just stopped taking money on Davies cos they reckon he's got the job Where did u get this info regards Davies?
redmeanie Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Where did u get this info regards Davies? There's no info. OP asked why Davies wasn't in the picture regarding betting odds. But he was referring to Skybet odds. For some reason, Skybet aren't offering Davies as an option. I was just speculating that maybe they've stopped taking money on him cos they think he has the job. But I have no info - just stirring
Dolman_Stand Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 BD should be our number 1 choice, he would be a breath of fresh air at this club and would have us in play off contention next season. This club need a massive kick up the rear end and has done since our second season at this level finished as the decline really started around this time with mickey mouse signings i.e. Sno, Saborio, Styvar etc. Would have a similar galvanising effect that Gary Johnson had when he took over here and is capable of building a succesful team. I doubt Lansdown would mind spending the cash if he can see that it is being used wisely. Alternatively perhaps a phonecall to David Cardoza might be an ideal..........

I must say he is the man for the job,what worrys me is if SL wants a yes man? Football wise He is the man. Bring him on board and we can go places.
Guest Tony Montana Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Definitely should be number 1 target, but as we have seen with Coppell, our board gets too involved. Maybe now Sexstone is chairman that may change. Go get him now!

We had some great times under GJ and I want to see a repeat of those good times.
Mr Gow Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 A much better Gary Johnson,would bring the club back together with the fans. We had some great times under GJ and I want to see a repeat of those good times. 2 pints of what he's on landlord

nickolas Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Im not sure colin could handle BD. I think they mite want their yes man for less hassle, pressure and less contoversy. I want BD here to sort out all the sh1t. SL sod your yes men, get us a top proven manager for this level.
Sargent Pepper Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 But look at the mess Davies leaves clubs in, usually after a season or two at the most and often in acrimonious circumstances.
Red Robin Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 But look at the mess Davies leaves clubs in, usually after a season or two at the most and often in acrimonious circumstances. Sargent please look at what BD has achieved This is the more important thing,he has done it with different clubs. Sexton says he want a PROVEN CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER. He is the man followed by DJ,followed by SOD. I don't pretend to be a expert,but watching city for 30 plus years,and watching football in that time,You get a hunch when something could be right together,I do not even know if BD is interested but if he was and he was affordable I would have him here in a shot.

Billy Davies has not applied for the job. He's not interested.
Riaz Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Billy Davies has not applied for the job. He's not interested. and YOU are?
Red Robin Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Billy Davies has not applied for the job. He's not interested. How do you now this dibdenred? Surely we are a big enough challenge,with a very loyal backer. Just may be SL does not want a guy that would grab us by the short and curleys and get us playing good football at the right end of the table. How true is your quote,shame if this was the case ref BD not applying. May be that is why the paparazzi are not shouting to much about him becoming our next manager.
myol'man Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Billy Davies has not applied for the job. He's not interested. Source? top candidates need not apply, we approach them. Billy Davies would be my number 1 choice, but would probably scare Sextoy to death.
Red Robin Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Source? top candidates need not apply, we approach them. Billy Davies would be my number 1 choice, but would probably scare Sextoy to death. I hope our board and owner have contacted BD,at present there is three top quality managers all proven at championship level. Why all this fuss about unproven guys is beyond me.we have been bitten more than once in recent times with unproven managers. Now is the time to get the right man in,if this new stadium is going to happen,what a attraction for BD DJ Sod. I just hope we don't go down the cheap route again with any body outside those top three candidates.
Alex_BCFC Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Why all this fuss about unproven guys is beyond me.we have been bitten more than once in recent times with unproven managers. Like Steve Coppell? Nothing wrong with up and coming managers if they are the right choice and the right time- like Gary Johnson was. I would rather one of them than the so called 'experienced' ones like Jones and Davies. Both who demand lots of money and resources to fail.

Sorry disagree this appointment is vital,sexy says he wants a proven championship manager. These up and coming lads will have their day,we need a quality proven manager. BD done it-forest boards wish he never left,sorry I don't see any better. DJ would be next on the list.followed by sod.

Where did I say this appointment wasn't vital. Every appointment is vital. BD - failed at forest using lots of money Same for DJ at Cardiff. Failed several times infact. SOD - needs a new challenge and I think would be good.

SOD did wonders at Donny,I wil never forget that game at the gate when they ripped us to shreds.cracking football mentality. I still believe one of these should get the job. We will have to agree to disagree on this one.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one. You can disagree but you don't listen to what I'm saying. Both Jones and Davies needed lots of money and resources to keep their sides up the top and they failed there. Why Jones didn't Cardiff up easily with the players he had is a joke. We don't have those kind of resources in this league. This isn't League 1 where we are a big team.
Guest Syco Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Davies and Jones would be poor appointments imo. Proven yes, Proven to fail that is. Del Boy for me ahead of these two.
Sargent Pepper Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 <br />Davies and Jones would be poor appointments imo. Proven yes, Proven to fail that is. Del Boy for me ahead of these two.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Who has proven what exactly???
Red Robin Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Davies and Jones would be poor appointments imo. Proven yes, Proven to fail that is. Del Boy for me ahead of these two. What as ur man delboy done in the championship?
screech Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Davies and Jones would be poor appointments imo. Proven yes, Proven to fail that is. Del Boy for me ahead of these two. We're really exceeding at the moment aren't we.Promotions, Playoff finals and an FA cup final, awful records aren't they?
downendcity Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 What as ur man delboy done in the championship? About the same as Lambert had before last season, and Poyet and Atkins had before this ( apart from Atkins taking Scunny down, that is).
Guest Syco Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 We're really exceeding at the moment aren't we.Promotions, Playoff finals and an FA cup final, awful records aren't they? Play off final and Fa Cup final means jack if you end up bottling it.
downendcity Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Play off final and Fa Cup final means jack if you end up bottling it. I'd rather us bottling a play off final than a relgation battle!
Sargent Pepper Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 <br />About the same as Lambert had before last season, and Poyet and Atkins had before this ( apart from Atkins taking Scunny down, that is).<br /><br /><br /><br /> True, also the same as Mark Cooper and a host of other young managers who have found the step on too much. Don't get me wrong DMc is my 2nd favorite choice, but people need to see it from both sides.
Sargent Pepper Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 <br />Play off final and Fa Cup final means jack if you end up bottling it.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Erm..... yes it does. Anyway I'll settle for a two wembley finals and a 3rd place finish over fighting relegation all day long. Anyway, I've never got this manager bottling thing, surelythe only people who can bottle it is the players. The manager doesn't become so overcome with the occasion he forgets to tell his team to score more goals Than the opposition does he?

Eventually if we got to that position us as fans would get fed up with the bottling just like Cardiff fans did.
screech Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Play off final and Fa Cup final means jack if you end up bottling it. Well I'd love to hear your suggestions as the next manager of BCFC if getting promotions, to play offs, play off finals and FA cup finals is not good enough for our club. We really must have something spectacular lined up to replace the cheap option we usually go for. Go on, make me laugh.
Red Robin Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Play off final and Fa Cup final means jack if you end up bottling it. SYCO please please tell me when Bristol City FC was last playing in a FA CUP FINALS, and I would love to be playing play off games year in and year out. Christ some of our fans need to realise BD who seems from what people are saying has not even applied "somes up what he must think of little Bristol City"not big enough or good enough for him. DJ if he is interested, and the rumours are true he wants his own backroom staff, our board should move heaven and earth to bring him in. Our backroom staff need moving out,they have had their chances and failed miserably in the past. As many have said it seems to be jobs for the boys at cushty Ashton Gate. :surrender: :surrender:
