Uncle Albert Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 In keeping with the theme of a new thread appearing every five minutes on OTIB during BCFC's annual 'Manager Appointing Month', I thought I'd start a thread on the overwhelming favourite with Sky Bet, Steve Cotterill. His odds are now 8/15 with them... http://www.skybet.com/football/specials/manager-specials What do people think of the possibility of him as BCFC's next manager? At least we'd be able to keep up the influx of Florest players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilC Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I was just reading this: http://www.thesackrace.com/news/29th-november-2013/steve-cotterill-in-the-running-for-bristol-city-and-crawley-town-posts before popping on here to see what the latest jibber jabber was and I do think it's one of the more realistic possibilities out there, compared to some of the things I've read (Not just on here) But but by possibility I mean just that, the board could get as far as offering him a second interview before changing their mind, or he could turn down a second, or even first interview, just like any manager. I'm not saying it likely to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Absolutely fine with it. Good record at Burnley, brilliant one at Cheltenham and Notts Co, so so at Forest. Likely to need to win over unimpressed supporters with a decent start, if he gets the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Well that would take a few more numbers of the gate. Just need to look at our attendances in the past under hoof ball merchants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I think back to the mcinnnes vs robins debate and the word uninspiring was used about robins quite a bit. He had gone on to do a decent job at Huddersfield and look what has happened to us in the last couple of years! Just hope whoever it is can do a decent job!

Just hope whoever it is can do a decent job!Interesting isn't it that we picked the 2 others interviewed with Robins but arguably he's turned out to be the best of the 3? As for the Burnley fan's comment, my recollection of Cotterill's time there (4 years?) was they never finished too near the relegation zone, I don't know if he thinks they are Real Madrid but that doesn't strike me as too shabby for a small Championship club.

Roger Red Hat Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Last straw for me if they appoint a hoofball merchant. I don't think even our bunch of comedians would do that.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I believe that Burt and Pemberton were at Forest in some capacity when he was the manager!! interesting, just a thought but will Burt as head of recruitment have any input at all?

TETBURY MASSIVE Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Steve Cotterill is a good manager and a highly regarded coach within the game. He will be a good appointment if we are lucky to get him. Contray to some on here, he will be good for us and will bring success. We have tried the popular managers..... Got us nowhere. We have tried the young up and coming got us no where....tried the footballing manager.... Got us no where..... Why not appoint someone who can develop us and get us results..... I will be right behind him if we get him as I would any manager. Who knows..... He might just be the man to make us great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I was a big fan of Robins and the job he did at Barnsley at the time. Shame he never got the job but so many people on here thought he was poor for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Last straw for me if they appoint a hoofball merchant. I don't think even our bunch of comedians would do that. See tomorrows local rag for confirmation of his 2yr contract. Lansdown Jr has assured us that the new manager will have to buy into the 5 pillars concept. To me one of those pillars is about playing decent football. I don't know what kind of football Cotteral likes but if he has a history of hoof ball then he shouldn't even get an interview.

Taylor10 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 This would be one of the worst appointments possible. What I would like to know is just what has he done in the game? Other managers in fairness, even if I don't rate them have credentials for the job but I just don't see what this bloke has to offer other than hoof ball? He was absolutely terrible at Forest and very nearly got a very good side (on paper) relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corleone Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 4-5-1 football at home, 5-4-1 football away. Be tedious. Remember SOD was drafted in to save their arses when he was at Florist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
