Night84 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 That's appalling... SOD should have had that with his plan to change the club but he was on a rolling contract. Why give it to Cotterill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat Fastard Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 He really must be a close friend of Dawe because that is a very long contract and will cost a lot to pay off when he gets the sack! If he is like Pulis in style then I will not stay to watch - but I will give him every chance and encouragement even though it seems that the players will have to unlearn all the footballing ambition that they learned from SO'D. Somehow it doesn't feel like a brave new start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 You have to be effing kidding me?! There is NO excuse for such a long term contract. There better be a 'get out' clause in there or a limitation on the severance pay. I am absolutely furious. Lansdown's, Burt, Dawe regardless of how this appointment transpires you really have played russian roulette with our club. Please kindly foxtrot oscar.

lenred Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 3.5 yrs? Is this a piss take?! We got to get behind him and I will, but the board are seriously testing my patience at the moment and this seriously smacks of the 'jobs for the boys' attitude that others have talked about. Why so long?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossey Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 .... god help us all... Why? Does this board never learn, oh well gonna cost more money when pay him off in 6 months, oh hang on some of its our money that they are throwing away! After all why should they take ant notice of how the fans feel and think, not our club, and nothing to do with us is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS34Red Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 After SOD was appointed the board said they would no longer offer big contracts to managers as it turns out to be very costly, so they have given SC a 3 and a half year deal, they also said they was going for a head coach, they even said this the other day, so they make him a manager.

Red-Robbo Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Very surprised. Although such deals were common in the past, they are much less so now - outside the Premier League. I presume it was Cotterill's demand. I'm going to agree with those calling me a board toady elsewhere on this point and say the length of this contract could bite the board's arse in the future.

Jordan Tansley Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Ditto, was expecting a 12 month roller, so has come as a bit of a shock also, head coach role disappears... Your confidence in the board remaining firm on their LTP misguided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Cotterill said he got another - seemingly late - offer to manage 'a Northern club'. Perhaps the board had to then at least match the length of their contract offer. Agree though it's too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
