BrizzleRed Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 It's actually a very good sign that a lot of the forum have negative views on Steve Cotterill. Both McIness and O'Driscoll were the fans choice. Cotterill could be the perfect fit. Aside from the hmely west country accent he has a good eye for a player and has done well in the lower leagues with a limited budget and it's important to understand how impoverished Portsmouth were and factor that in. He's got a man management style that will bring out the best in the young players. He's hard working, passionate about his job and likes to play an attacking pressing game. We might even see a winger or two. Sure we would all love to be the Barcelona of the lower leagues (mind you Rovers trademarked that delusion!) and appoint some undiscovered spanish coaching genius who would replicate Swansea and have us in the Premier League with immediate back to back promotions. Second best is getting someone who has the personality and drive to bring success and start off by ensuring we don't get relegated. Yes, he's known for playing direct football but Rednapp sought him oyt and O'Driscoll was happy to coach for him so that suggests he is adaptable. It's more likely he is going to play a pressing high temp game that doesn't exclude our midfield and Orient haven't done too badly with that approach. I know of few clubs who achieve success where there isn't that feeling of unity and good communications between the board and the manager. With Cotterill's friendhsip with Howard Hughes, I mean keith Dawe , and a refreshingly honest, determined and enthusiastic approach that should endear himself with the Lansdowns, I reckon that also helps provide a better platform for a change of fortunes. Ironically, the best situation might have been if Steve Cotterill had been brought in as manager and retained SO'd and Pemberton. We'd pretty much have the set up that saw Forest turn around results and performances. That isn't going to happen with regard to So'd but Pemberton has a reputation for being a passing football type of coach and I guess one of the attractions of taking on Cotterill is that the suport staff are likely to be retained. I reckon all fans are so beaten down by the past few seasons and, it has to be said, a very decent man but with a downbeat approach in the form of Sean O'Driscoll hasn't helped. Actually it's an ideal situation for Cotterill to come into as there is no air of expectation. A few wins and steps up the table and there will be a different atmosphere and he'll be accepted. I don't don't the press speculation that he is set to be appointed. I've got a feeling he'll do well and work well embracing the five pillars so let's all get behind him. A fair few might be pleasantly surprised. Fair shout to you, as you've managed to give a few positive points there. Let's just hope that against most of our expectations, we do eventually get a manager who could possibly do a job for us. I agree our powers for being optimistic have taken a massive hammering over the past two or three years, so let's just hope we do get something to give us all a lift.

Guest catcott_red1 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Cotterill would be a poor choice in my opinion. As a manager he's accomplished very little. He managed to have 3 consecutive lower mid table championship finishes with Burnley who after they got rid of him got promoted to the Premieship. After that he went to Notts County who were top of the table by miles when he joined in January, he then kept them going and got them promoted to L1. His only accomplishment of date, with a side he didn't build. He then didn't want to stay and build with Notts County, instead he jumped ship to Porstmouth for the following season where he never really accomplished a lot before he went to Nottingham Forest who flirted with relegation the whole time he was there until he kept them up towards the end of the season. He was then sacked following there takeover. He's not known for playing good football or using young players. Now is this really the man people want as the next Bristol City manager? Someone with no real League 1 experience, no real loyalty and no track record of building and blooding a side of young players. A truly baffling decision if we appoint him.

Guest catcott_red1 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Coterill bought in many of the players that Coyle used to get successful with Burnley. Some will argue, Cotterill got unlucky because of injuries, however he did manage to develop them but did revert to Cotterball, when there was more options available We are no longer in the Champs, so is largely an irrelevant discussion other than he has an eye for a player and can develop youth on that score Notts County were in the midst of the Munto Catastrophe when Cotterill came in after Sven and he did well, also was in a worse sit at Pompey and managed to get them respectable Florist were where they were because of take over Doughty's death and Mclaren's failure again Cotterill helped to steady the ship a little Not saying he's great or nothing, but he can work, he can adapt and getting Cheltenham from Non League to this league is some achievement (something the GJ fans cream over regarding Yeovil, so how come Cotterill is different?) He has a great track record of building youth, so not sure where that comes from Fair point. Doesn't show fantastic loyalty and Burnley was his only period of longevity. If he came in and kept us up then fair play but i'd always be concerned he'd be looking for a move elsewhere if something better came up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I really don't think it makes a blind bit of difference which manager the board brings in Harry.

BUTOR Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 No, but maybe there isn't another option? We're a poor league one side, Cotterill would say yes to the job but not many other credible managers would. Give him a chance if he comes in, although Lansdown said he wanted passion which I fail to see how Cotterill would offer that, which would mean yet another contradiction from the board, who in my eyes are the ones who should be getting slated, not Cotterill!

RedM Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Supposing, just supposing, the deal has been done to bring Cotterill here as numerous people are saying they are hearing. From past experience our next manager been pretty much common knowledge before its announced, so people do have sources of info. From what I am reading he is likely to be one of the least popular choices ever, not a good starting point for anyone. So, if there are board members reading this will it make any difference, can they turn round to him and say thanks but no thanks? I guess until any contract is legally signed they can, but if so what a mess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I do not claim to know much about COTTERILL but seems a lot of false, misleading information, is appearing within the forum. He is held in good regard by Notts County AND Forest, and kept them up when they were in a state. he is still a legend in Cheltenham, so IF he is appointed, he must be given a chance. His time at pompey was under different administrators when they were sinking faster than the Titanic ! Heres a wee bit of proof about that and his sacking at Forest ! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18812339 I spoke to a mate today who lives just outside Nottingham and he has strong connections in the game. Cotterill is well thought off in many circles and he has no doubt he would do a job for us. Of course, it might all be pie in the sky yet !

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Please God no! Time people started getting used to this, I think. Cotterill makes sense, as we are asking someone to step in as first team coach and work with existing staff. I can't see Warnock or Holloway being prepared to do that, and of course the fact that Cotterill and O'Driscoll worked together before suggests that the change can be made without a major culture shift.
