italian dave Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Just heard the Cheltenham Chairman on RB. Still in touch with Cotterill and saying he's ambitius, choosy about the next step in his career and that he will only go to a club that's ambitious, has a good strong board and stability. Also mentioned how a new ground would be attractive. All that seems to rule us out then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack Bladder Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 What's he actually done? I don't see his CV jumping out at me. I mean Forest sacked him and replaced him with SOD for crying out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 What's he actually done? I don't see his CV jumping out at me. I mean Forest sacked him and replaced him with SOD for crying out loud. Actually he went to Florist and kept them up when they were looking at the drop, new owners came in (arabs) and promptly sacked him. Loads on the net about him as well, about keeping Burnley up despite having to sell all best players ! I found out a bit about him at the weekend from a good friend who lives in Nottingham. He also did a cracking job at Notts county and since he left have been in decline. Its all on the net. I am not a fan of his and know little about him, until all this surfaced at the weekend, but I cannot really understand all the vitroil being put out about him . If he is appointed time will tell. He is also a West country bloke, I have a feeling he would do alright for us. Lets wait and see however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Just heard the Cheltenham Chairman on RB.

Also mentioned how a new ground would be attractive. All that seems to rule us out then! To be fair we have an ambitious board, a stable owner, our aim is to be a competitive championship club (yea I know we cant even manage it in league one atm) and we have a redeveloped (basically new) ground in the pipeline. Im sure that's how the board have sold it to him anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy bird Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'm sure that he'd take any job that anybody is stupid enough to offer him, and if by any fluke he gets short term success he'll be off like a shot as soon as a better offer comes along ( look at his history ) horrible despicable man, all of colons bad points and none of his good ones !

I ain't falling out with anyone Tim but thankfully, there are but a very few "horrible despicable" people in this world - some dictators, a dead Yorkshire DJ and a Welsh dead prophet to name a few but a football manager?

beaverface Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I remember Cotterill bringing his Portsmouth side to AG where he could scrape a side together and had to rely on loans and youth team players and they gave us a real good game. Saying that, he still wouldnt be top of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Did well at Cheltenham and did well at Burnley Admiitedley did ok-ish at Cheltenham, but that was 12 years ago..................but Burnley?.....he was there for around 3 and half years and had 34% win record, not exactly sensational. Hes a journeyman Mr Average...about as exciting as a car scrapyard.....and always reminds me of Alan Partridge. If he comes to Ashton Gate, I will remain a supporter of the club....but I wont be attending any more matches, as, if this man is appointed it will reek of cheap option desperation....and will indicate to every other team how lacking in ambition and ideas we are. Please God that the bookies are wrong,and that this man will never manage Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I've seen his career record and i ask again what has he actually done? A more pertinent question might be what percentage of managers have actually won something ? I take it you are referring to his lack of honours as a manager ?

GrahamC Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Admiitedley did ok-ish at Cheltenham, Ok-ish? **** me, they were in the division BELOW the Conference when he went there, by the time he left they were in the same league as we are now. They also reached the fifth round of the FA Cup. This despite poor gates and no money at all. I understand you don't rate him but at least try to show some perspective, regardless of whatever he's done since that is a phenomenal achievement.

maxjak Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 What And if results improve significantly, will you attend or will you cut your nose of to spite your face? Held a season ticket for around 10 years..home and away for around 20......as i am older now...and realise how much money I have wasted on watching sub standard football (The excitement of watching Jacki, Andy, Bob and early Nicky was some compensation) I now have other priorities..but City will ALWAYS be my team, I now attend around 6/7 games a season..but if Cotterill comes, it will to me signal dark days ahead, and a complete lack of any ambition. So I will spend my hard earned on going to watch Arsenal a couple of times and wait for Cotterills inevitable sacking...hopefully commonsense will then prevail and Phil Parkinson or Mark Cooper will be installed and I will return to watch a team I can be proud of. If results improve significantly under Cotterill I will probably spend my time watching Sus scrofa domesticus through my telescope as they pass overhead.

What Managers aren't journeymen? Ferguson, Wenger, Moyes and Gradi maybe, apart from them, just about all the rest at every level are on and off the Managerial merry-go-round with alarming frequency. Only the first timers can't be classed as journeymen, but they either get their initiation done and become card carrying members or they fade away into obscurity.

Your correct.....I probably let my dislike of him colour my judgement...but he left Cheltenham over 11 and a half years ago, and has not done a great deal since........maybe he peaked too early.
