Red Robin Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Well it seems the board have narrowed down the last two. Seems they think these are the future of Bristol city fc. The fans on here seem very happy with the possibility of a manager who has never even tried his luck in our lower leagues,who is managing a club the size of Cheltenham Town. The other candidate Mark Robbins has had a spell at Rotherham, and a short spell at Barnsley. Both have very limited experience at this level. I hope to god this board know what there doing? Certainly not a proven manager as mr sexton said in his interview just after Millen Was sacked. Facts are facts there are three better qualified candidates looking for a job,who have managed at this level. I thought the board would have learnt from previous appointments,it seems are next manager is going to be another gamble.

Nibor Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 So... McInnes hasn't been appointed yet and you don't know who the other candidate was. I'd hang on a few days before you start bawling and throwing your toys out your pram because you didn't get the big name mediocre track record in decline flop you were after.

Robbins does have the additional kudos of playing top flight football with Man utd as well also having pulled on the city shirt whilst on loan to us and of course he is named after the club's nickname so maybe it is fate and in the stars. Dowie went to palace and took them to the play offs from bottom of tthe league. I wonder what odds you would get tomorrow of city reaching the play off final. I have a £5 to waste and will ring paddy power or bet fred in the morning

According to GT on Radio Briz the other candidate is Mark Robins
Turbored Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Has it been officially announced that MR is the other contender along with DelBoy as i havent seen anything to back this up anywhere , someone said it was on the official site but i cant seem to see it . Does anyone have a link?
Nibor Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 According to GT on Radio Briz the other candidate is Mark Robins According to the Sun we offered the job to Cotterill last week. The press really only go on rumour same as the fans.

We need a young, hungry manager with ambition, Dave Jones' ambition/passion/drive/determination went out of the window when he was sacked by Baaaaaaardiff. He is a has been, so will probably end up at Portsmouth. McInnes was a hot favourite for the WBA job (a MUCH bigger job than ours) before Di Matteo was chosen instead.......McInnes has another 3 years experience now. Move on RR...it is getting boring now. BCAGFC
Guest sportingmad0209 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Del Boy a risk??? Of course, but so is every other single candidate we had. Other than a few moaners on these forums, it's hard to find somebody who has a bad word to say about him. For ME, he's the stand out person in the running, and hope we can snap him up in time for him to watch from the stands on Tuesday night. Trust in the board, as they seem to have got this one right IMO! Hopefully the players will be out to make a name for themselves Saturday, and we'll get a positive response! COME ON CITY!!!

Answer me those and tell me what he said and what Dave jones said and why you decided on jones. Oh you dont know do you. Thats right

Guest BristolCityFC1 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Totally agree with RedRobin - iv never heard of this McNugget bloke before 2 weeks ago, everyones raving on about how "great" he is. i was so excited when Sexstone said we will get "THE RIGHT" person with the "EXPERIENCE" and "DRIVE" ... first person to come to mind was Dave Jones = clear candidate.... But no...typical Bristol xxxxxxxx City - cheap option, gamble...want a mediocre guy that hasnt come anywhere near to the championship and its contacts. The Board obviously hasnt learnt its lesson??
Roger Red Hat Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I hope to god this board know what there doing? WE ALL HOPE THEY MAKE THE RIGHT APPOINTMENT, I SAID, WE ALL HOPE THEY MAKE THE RIGHT APPOINTMENT, I SAID, WE ALL etc. They will have interviewed the candidates, something YOU won't have, in my book that gives them more of a reason to make the decision, whether it turns out to be right.................we'll have to wait and see. So maybe, just maybe you should shut the F.... up and let them get on with it.

Trust in the board, as they seem to have got this one right IMO! Hopefully the players will be out to make a name for themselves Saturday, and we'll get a positive response! COME ON CITY!!! Have to agree with you as we had a nice bloke last time but as he had been at the club such a long time before being manager he found it really difficult to make that step up and gain that respect of being a manager instead of one of the lads. He then found himself in a difficult position and ended up alienating some of the players and then relied on his long term friendships with certain players to see him through day to day. Its a big problem in management when you promote within. Thats why we need a new man and someone who doesnt care if he upsets or rocks the happy go lucky ship BCFC (thats sinking) which is why if its between Del or MR it has to be Del. If its MR tho i will give him my support 100% as hopefully he will prove my thoughts as total misconceptions and turn out to be the new messiah. COYR ....CTID

For Dave Jones, read Steve Coppell. Jones lost his credibility after the abject failure of not getting the best squad in the division promoted 2 years in a row and allegedly allowing a drink & drug culture to develop. If you could mix Jones' experience with McInnes drive, then we would have a good candidate......BUT WE CAN'T. Jones would walk after 2 games IMO.....no backbone. BCAGFC

If you could mix Jones' experience with McInnes drive, then we would have a good candidate, we don't want another walkout. BCAGFC Agree both not liked much by the media and Jones has his GJ side as well, "clubs in the bag" was'nt that what GJ called it **** me we'd need another 2 or 3 bags for Jones extra clubs. and did I mention that his last signing for Cardiff was Jon Parkin.
redmeanie Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 If appointed, I am confident that, given time, this man will get us challenging for promotion.

Red Robin Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 so tell me what you know about mcinnes.

Answer me those and tell me what he said and what Dave jones said and why you decided on jones. Oh you dont know do you. Thats right To be fair I had not even heard of the guy until linked with us,and I reckon 90% on here would say the same. Robins I remember from his man utd days a brilliant striker,short spells at Rotherham and Barnsley tells me he is not a proven manager as sexton said he wanted. I don't give too monkeys if any fan wishes to decry my take on this.we all have a opinion,that is what makes forums interesting. The bottom line they are not proven as sexton clearly said.
Guest shire_redz Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 'You're an easy bunch to please' Sorry, it was bugging me!
Red Robin Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 **** me even RR gave GJ 4 months before starting a 4 year hate/smear campaign. Sorry matey I was a avid GJ fan,our best manager since Alan dicks in my opinion. Clearly had no issues with GJ,the last year was sad and poor though. Now tinnion and millian,I never backed from day one,neither I thought would be capable of doing the job.I think history has showed that. I am not over confident regards these two short listed,neither proven,neither the experienced manager sexton said would be appointed.

Sometimes in interviews the clear favourite/proven at this level/experienced guy dosen't always get the job because sometimes an outsider/outsiders interview better. I suggest you have a look on youtube at some of Jones TV interviews, perhaps that may give you an idea about how his interview might have gone.
Roger Red Hat Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Why is he a wind up merchant because he's not part of the McInnes, sorry, Delboy (cringe) love-in? Far as I can tell he's just posting a different opinion. Something I was told last night was what a forum is for... Personally I will be more than very disappointed with either, although I'd pick McInnes over Robins purely for the fact he appears to have more drive about him. Whether that'll be enough alone we'll have to see. It would seem you would be disappointed whoever was given the job! RR doesn't seem to be posting a different opinion, just a nauseatingly repetetive one, as has been the case with several on here. There's no need to be in love with Mcinnes to able to observe this.
Brizzle Jordan Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Dave Jones talks like he has no interest in talking. McInnes being a scotsman will sound passionate as for some reason when a scot talks you for some reason just listen. I think McInnes will get the job if he wants it, simples.
Guest SUMMAT OUTTA NOWT Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Well reading between the lines nobody can agree on any candidate and through the last week of this saga I have felt no differant than for the first six games of the season. The so called final two are a joke and we will not move on (IMO). Be honest Robins has tried the Championship and failed and no one til two weeks ago had heard of the other bloke. Really sets my inspiration alite, NOT. I just hope the board can go that extra mile and think on. PPPPPLLLLLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE. (Stands back for the flack )

I suggest you have a look on youtube at some of Jones TV interviews, perhaps that may give you an idea about how his interview might have gone. Bottom line is Cardiff when jones arrived was attracting gates at our level,when he left Cardiff were always top six,oh I think they had a cup final as well. Really remember city doing that consistently. Jones is a different league to these boys short listed for job. How any person can decry this is from a different planet.

Brizzle Jordan Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Keep up. I have stated since day one I would be delighted if Jones got it. Being as many also seem to think we have a mid table side underperforming, what do we deem as an acceptable finish this season regardless of who the new manager is? Survival isn't a specific answer. Survival on the last day on goal difference? Survival by ten points? Mid table? I'd say anywhere between 15-18th would be a success for the new manager and then revamp the squad by getting rid of a fair few and building for a push next season.

Nobody is decrying his achievements, the media hate him with a passion because he is a difficult and quite nasty person as some on his more controversial interviews show, I think after Coppells ego and pathetic walk out and the final months of GJ's tenure somebody like Jones is the last thing we need and more importantly we could never match his aspirations in the transfer market and that is almost certainly why he has'nt got the job.

Cardy Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 'You're an easy bunch to please' Sorry, it was bugging me! Clearly grammar, spelling and punctuation aren't the OP's strong point. That aswell as the fact that he doesn't have a clue what he is on about.
Brizzle Jordan Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I'd go along with that. Now this is another factor with McInnes; when we've fired on the out of contract wasters, is he going to be the right man with the right contacts and the right pulling power to attract the players we need to make life more comfortable in this league? Or is he going to have a good enough eye for the up-coming player? I don't know the answers to this, but one would hope they are questions the board have asked. If it is McInnes I wish him well and he has my full support, I just really hope they've got this right, because I'm sceptical. He has quite an impressive record of signing gems who seem to flourish playing for him. I really do believe he is a great fit for the football club. Our squad is fairly young, he is a young manager who is obviously talented and can man manage which in this day and age is absolutely vital. Ofcourse this season he isn't going to deliver a miracle and get us challenging but i'm very confident he will steer us away from relegation. In the summer we should be looking at a squad of 20-23 players to build that team spirit to go back to the goal of Premier League football.
Guest SUMMAT OUTTA NOWT Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Your preferred appointment would be?( MoN aside of course.) Off all the candidates credentials Jones has the experiance at this level. Not been a problem keeping a side around the play-offs it has been that extra step that has failed him. He should not shoulder all the blame but he had major problems behind the scenes for the last two seasons of his reign. At the end of the day though I would not like to see him at City. Of the final two if you sit back and just say do either of these men really have what it takes you must surely get the No answer as me. who would I like to see as manager To be honest I do not know. I just wish the board could be seen to be aiming high and names connected with the club that could maybe inspiring us die hard supporters.

I could not give two penny's what the media think,dave jones has the respect of the industry,I just think he would be the right man for the job,if not SOD,but no let's take another gamble,this board is not keeping it promises with their appointment in the next few days.

Guest BristolCityFC1 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 agree with vanman - the two shortlisted candidates, which looks certainly like McNugget and Robins hasnt inspired me , feel less excited and enthusiastic now then i did when Millens departure was announced

Roger Red Hat Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Obscure that Rog As stated by the robot Gort, in the sci-fi film from the early 50's, 'The Day The Earth Stood Still', staring Michael Rennie.
SC_Red Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Yawn yawn. Dave Jones isn't getting it. Move on. isnt he? Odd because there was a know all no mark on here claiming he was close mates with cole skuse and winking at people saying he was very confident jones was coming. probably just another wannabe idiot bullshitting to try and look in the know I expect

EmissionImpossible Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Who is to say that Dave Jones applied? Or even wanted the job? Im sure the board would have looked into getting him.

He winked and everything and told us he was mates with skuse and was confident he was coming. he looks a bit silly now so you'll find him on here swiping at people tonight. Its funny though so keep an eye out for it
glynriley Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I did indeed say I was confident he was coming. At no stage did I ever say I had inside info from anyone, and the Cole remarks were from a completely different thread, but why let that cloud your bile. Obviously last nights temporary ban taught you nothing, but carry on. It's your funeral, it's all been reported again. I'll just keep smiling Do you really report people?

You played spot the white man. You admitted it. I just asked if you were playing it again tonight. you should smile. we're getting a good manager. Not the one you pretended you had inside knowledge was coming but a good one never the less

Bobby kellard hero Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Derek Mcinnes has to get it.it's a no brainer.the man who Nigel Spackman said when he was manager of Millwall.I wish I had 11 Derek Mcinnes in my team.
Kibs Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 He probably gets a lot of crap because he is without a doubt the most negative, pessimistic poster in the entire history of OTIB!!! Reading his posts makes me want to slit my wrists. Totally agree. I'm starting to hate him more than Holloway!! ;-)
Superjack Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 My take on the (alleged) 'Final Four'. Jones or Robins: Will more than likely keep us up. Questionable whether they could take us up. O'Driscoll: Grave danger of League 1 next season. McInnes: Gamble. Not as likely (IMO) to take us down as O'Driscoll. More likely to take us down than Jones or Robins. More likely to take us up (IMO) than Robins, Jones or O'Driscoll. Just my take, of course. It's sounding like McInnes, and I can't say that I am unhappy about that.
Spud55 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Has Dave Jones even applied for the bloody Job ? Can anyone say for certain, or even relatively certain that he's applied, as i've seen nothing even approaching reliable on this ? The only thing i have seen is that Dave Jones himself said on tv that he wasn't interested in another rebuilding job like he did at cardiff he wasnted to go to a club that had already done that and try to take it forward, which to anyone with a brain would more than likely rule us out. Billy Davies didn't even apply so it's not as if he was even in the running anyway, from most of what he's said in public, DJ did not seem interested, so could you please stop whinging RR, for all the bollocks you spout, maybe if you spent more time taking notice of what is going on in the real world, rather than the wonderfuly fickle world of Red Robin, we might get somewhere. We are not going to appoint Billy Davies as he didn't want the ******* job, and unless you can guarentee me 100% that i'm wrong it's fairly likely that DJ didn't want it either, could you please stop moaning that we haven't appointed on of those two, as unless you want SL to kidnap one of them and force them to do the job then it's a bloody moot point.

Why don't these managers want it? Probably because the board lacks drive and doesn't know how to sell the club. If they did know then we would have a better standard of applicant.
the1stknowle Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Hang on RMLF, you can't have it both ways. Experience, specifically in the championship, matters or it doesn't? You say McInnes has no experience. And contrast negatively with Lambert. But McInnes has been a manager pretty much the same amount of time as Lambert. And neither have championship experience before appointment. Point being Lambert had no experience of this league. Ferguson only Scotland which has been derided on here as a mickey mouse league. Mourinho no experience of the league and success elsewhere. Wenger had only managed in France and Japan. Surely not "ready" for a top Prem job? You could just as easily phrase your points: "What, the same Derek Mcinnes who captained West Brom to promotion in the premier league, who worked on the continent and who got St Johnstone promoted in his first full season and has kept them there without relegation for the last 4 seasons despite crowds lower than the average McDonalds on a Saturday night?" It's just how you present it. Either experience of the Championship is crucial, or it is not. That was all gazza1982 was trying to get at. And I think you've answered the point - it isn't. Talent is the key. And spotting that talent is the skill. And it cant be done on wikipedia. You need to look at their records but then talk to people in the game and then interview the candidate. Just like our board have done. McInnes is not Millen. He has managerial experience. Years of it. Successfully. Unless anyone thinks St Johnstone should be winning the title in Scotland. People keep saying a crappy team in a crappy league. But that's the point. People in crappy leagues have crappy teams and so all you can do is finish your "crappy" team, higher than the other "crappy" teams. Leagues are relative. Jose Mourinho should be able to go into a U-14 league and coach a team to finish above their potential. Even though the players might not be good and the other teams rubbish. Being a good manager is about achieving over and above the sum of your team's parts. If McInnes had a great team in a crappy league, then we should be worrying. And besides, Scottish Prem football is nowhere near as bad as some are making out. It's hardly park football. So experience in a certain league, history shows, pales when compared to talent. And for that reason, I'm right behind the board and the way they have gone about things. It's been a proper talent hunt and Im confident they'll get the best man for our circumstances who wants the job.
Hicksy-BCFC Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Dave Jones isn't a gamble no? He's much less of a gamble than an ordinary manager like Robins or some Scottish no-game who manages a tin-pot club the size of Cheltenham. Dave Jones knows the Championship well and took Cardiff to 3 Wembley appearances in 3 seasons. I will be massively under-whelmed with either McInnes or Robins. Two poor choices.
Hicksy-BCFC Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Why don't these managers want it? Probably because the board lacks drive and doesn't know how to sell the club. If they did know then we would have a better standard of applicant. Our football club has been run by the board as a joke for near on 20 years, I don't see that changing anytime soon. We still have a League 1 attitude in so many ways. Always looking for the cheap option as well.
Chappers Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 What a rubbish first post, City are a struggling Championship side, looking to cut losses, and progression in a more prudent and sustainable fashion, rather than wasting money on expensive players. The two managers seem to fit the bill, affordable, capable of keeping us up this season, and with potential to move the Club forward. as with any appointment, it may go wrong, but on paper they look very strong candidates. We have to forget SL's wallet, the idea of Jones, a whole host of new backroom boys and millions on players just ain't gonna happen. Nor do we have a particularly good squad that can transform from relegation fodder to promotion contenders just by apointing a so-called 'Big Name'.
