real_bristol Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 If we are going to do it, lets do it right. He's got passion he's seen the best of the bottom two leagues, I'd like to think he'd have a bit more to spend here and much less roundabouts.

LondonBristolian Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I genuinely don't get the anti-Robins sentiment. I'm not saying he's the best manager available but his track record is basically joining struggling clubs and improving them. He got drastic improvements at Rotherham, kept Barnsley up and was unlucky not to get sacked and Coventry look a damn sight better with him. I'm not saying he's my choice but I'd have much more faith in him than someone like Di Canio who's so far only achieved good results over a short period of time in favourable conditions.

PAULO DI CANIO Can someone explain why sod is even a candidate? Probably unemployed....(just about) Plenty of experience. And people can probably remember his low cost Doncaster playing us off the park with good football a while ago. Just trying to answer your question, but I'm for Coyle.

antlers Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 would love Warnock, i cant see him being at Leeds for long, we cant wait around for him to get the boot and he wont leave Leeds for us so not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalRed Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Warnock for me, SoD next and then GJ. Chances are Warnock wouldn't come, SoD will goto Blackpool anyway. I just hope the board make the right decision this time as the cheap option won't sort out this mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Out of curiosity what is it about Robins that everyone dislikes? My mate is a Cov fan and he said when Robins arrived they got off to a bad start but now he's doing well and apparently with a lot of young players which appears to be the route we're going down. He's also on a 53.85 win percentage which is highly impressive, has taken them up the league a lot and was on 10 game unbeaten streak before their losses to Shewsbury and Tottenham. Looking back he's actually taken them from 23rd in League One up to 12th and they are still only 6 points off of the play offs and have a game in hand over three teams above them. Looking at how they've turned around and rebuilt I can see them making the play offs at this rate and if they can jump straight back up then he's done an amazing job. I suppose it comes down to are we accepting that we are already down and starting the rebuild or are we trying to survive? Either way I don't think getting him here is as bad as many make out, it just means he needs to be able to ship out the dead wood (which is our biggest problem) and then he could use the youth we have to rebuild. Thoughts? Oh and for the vote I voted SOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has another relegation battling team not turned to him? I can't help but think if a manager is a good manager how does he stay unemployed so long?

Aizoon Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Admittedly, Di Canio is a great manager, but do we really want a fascist in our club? Personally, I don't.

bcfcnick Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I think it would be worth lumping a wedge on Coyle, probably knows all the coaching team aswell.

Roger Red Hat Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I think that association with a failed coaching staff be a very good reason not to 'lump a wedge' on Coyle. Well, the board will be very keen not to have to replace all the coaching staff/academy staff recently appointed etc. Are they responsible for what's gone on, or is it down to the manager?

Ben4BCFC Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Nothing sentimental about hating fascists. My opinion exactly, but maybe with the likes of Marlon King being allowed back into football people seem to care less about the actual person beneath the kit as long as they are doing the job. For me personally, I would be disgusted if we signed King and as good a manager as he is, I would be similarly disappointed in us as a club for appointing someone with such immoral and prejudice views as di Canio. But like I said, maybe I'm worrying about the wrong thing. Who knows. Are there any morals in football anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Warnock would be a great choice, but thats not going to happen so Davies or odriscoll for me....but knowing city scott murray will be put as caretaker till the end of season!

BB in Backwell Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 We need somebody pronto and therefore out of work & probably in an interim capacity until the end of the season to ascertain if all parties are happy. My vote therefore goes to Glenn Hoddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 So, loads of people are happy if we try and appoint someone with fascist sympathies, another load think that Leeds current manager, who keeps saying he'll retire soon and has a house in Cornwall (which is about as far from Bristol as Leeds) would somehow come to us and a third popular candidate might well get the Blackpool job in the next few days. I voted Cotterill by the way and have already stated why- someone with a decent record at our level, who would commit to the area, take no shit from the players and is available, (I'm sure he'd leave his current temporary post at QPR like a shot).

tom from sunny side Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I can't see DiCanio leaving Swindon who are in a promotion challenge.

At least he would sound like us But no he won't be my choice, I've gone for Di Canio younger version of Colin probably lives not far from Bristol. I would of loved to see Gherkin and Fontaine walk into that dressing room with Di Canio in charge. They would of probably hid in the ground to scared to face him. And that's if they both managed to stay on the pitch long enough to get to half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedbcfc Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 am i the only one who doesn't understand the sudden sean o'driscoll obsession? speaking objectively, he is similar to GJ in that he's done well in the lower leagues but has never proven to be in his element as much at this level, so why is he considered the man to save us? just an observation, not slating him. if anyone has any replies i would genuinely like to hear them and learn about him because i know little of his managerial history/style other than the stats.
