LondonBristolian Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 If SoD agrees with the boards vision (mostly under 24yos) then it is a possibilty a I think he could do a good long term job here. IMO, he is off his rocker if he comes to us, we are in a right state. First thing our new manager has to do is sort the wasters out, Fontaine, Pearson, McManus etc, they have let the club down big time. BCAGFC I'm not actually sure he is as off his rocker as he appears. IMO McInnes actually got the tough part of the job of trying to change a system that wasn't working behind the scenes and rebuild the club from the bottom. Ultimately he failed but I actually think he might have put enough in place that a new manager coming in faces a much less daunting task than he did.

LondonBristolian Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm not sure he'll be the man to keep us up this season (hope I'm wrong though) but he would be a cracking manager to have in League One next season to get us back up quickly. Seconded. He's a manager for the long-term IMO. I don't necessarily think he'll give us a quick fix but I think he will get things working.

LondonBristolian Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Now @ 6/4 from 5's less than 30 mins ago Mail + bokkies both getting it wrong = NO WAY The bookies just respond to where people are putting their money - the Mail story will have led to this. As long as the logic's good we're fine. If the logic's wrong then it could be all misdirection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Porter Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I think as we can now see its going to be SOD within the next 24 hours. Il be damned but it appears robored hit the nail on the head..... I think this will be a good long term appointment and he may not keep us up, but am sure if we do go down we will be in for a hell of a ride next season. I for one welcome the man to the dug out....

Just looking a this thread on the Forest forum http://www.forestforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=35258 and putting two and two together (to probably make five :laugh:) may be he is looking at a couple of young players he can bring from Forest who might have the fire and passion to prove themselves first teamers.

Robbored Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'd be amazed if they didn't given the timing of it. If it is SOD then it'll please most people. I'd be happy with his appointment and as you say so will most fans. He managed B'muff for 6 years and might well have a home down there so Bristol City would be an attractive option for him.

Phileas Fogg Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Perhaps S'OD being looked at for Director of Football role? No evidence at all to suggest this may be the case just hasn't been suggested yet.. would help provide long term vision especially for recruitment and playing style but without the instantaneous expectation for results from the off.
