spudski Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 .... Forest fans were not wrong... it's like listening to a 'fan' rather than a manager... How have gone from an intelligent manager like SoD to this... it's like listening to some Wurzel just out of school... This is not inspiring at all... I'm sat here cringing... sounds like he's on the back foot already...it's awful to listen too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's not about SoD... it's about the board... As Super has just said... spineless... not one of them wanted to speak... they even said at the beginning of the start of the interview that they thought Cotterill was their on his own... they must have been friggin hiding... what an absolute shower they are. What Board doesn't speak to the press on introduction and publicly welcomes them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Each to their own I guess. But I found him a lot more easy on the ear than some dour mumbling sniffing black country prophet of passing football theory. Time will tell, but he doesn't have to do much to improve things does he!

Super Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It is embarrassing that neither Keith or Jon were there. I thought RH said on the radio they walked into the room with him. Which makes it even more embarrassing that they didn't step up to answer questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeysrobins Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Oh dear he likes to blow his own trumpet doesn't he!! Sounds like a fan who got lucky one day and ended up managing the local football league team!! Cringe!! Sounds like he's going to do things his way whether we like it or not!! The Five Pillars have been shoved to one side! 3 and half years though!!! Ouch!!! A rolling contract maybe but this is definitely a helping out a 'best mate' inside job with no thoughts for the feelings of fans once again!! Just watching John Gregory being interviewed on Sky Sports. Just so much easier on the ears..........jealous of Crawley.......Aaaagggahhhhhhh!!

pikeysrobins Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 JL needed to face the music!! Cotterill shoved in front of the cameras with no sense of pride or pleasure in announcing it!! If it's done later - it's too late!! You have to do it there and then if you are supporting your convictions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that all this "intelligence" SOD had could not be used to produce a better record of results whilst he was at teh club. Perhaps you should meet the guy first, like you seem to have met all the other movers and shakers in football, before you cast aspersions on his lack of intelligence. Or do you judge intelligence simply on accent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 In response to Keepers Grandad... who mentioned accent? I was listening to the words coming out of his mouth. He sounded like someone struggling to put an intelligent sentence together. And for your information... I have met him... twice at Cheltenham. He's definitely 'one of the lads'... If that's how you like your managers... your choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton_fan Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Cotterill has got lots of experience, I hope people give him a chance and judge him on results. Lets face it the fans thought the last couple of appointments were good and they didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 So he's suddenly gone from a mumbling ,boring Brummie, to an intelligent articulate orator, has he/? Unbelievable. Sorry, I never realised that you could either be intelligent or boring, but not both. Clearly his interview demeanour didn't do him any favours, but anyone who took the time to read his programme notes could see that Sean O'Driscoll was clearly an intelligent man. Does that excuse his poor record? Of course not. But based on this morning's press conference, City under Cotterill scares me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm as disaponted as many seem to be. We all know SOD had an unacceptable record but I still believe in the long term he would have done well especially after the performance against Orient as the balance looked good. Now we are stuck with Cotterill. Hope he does well but can't see it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider_dog Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'll give him a chance, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. But I feel a sense of impending doom already... My concern at this early stage is around how the squad has been drilled (albeit with relative failure) into a structured and disciplined style of play by SOD. They are relativity inexperienced and I believe really bought into what SOD was trying to achieve. Now (presumably) our style will be more direct and physical. Which is not that compatible with the type of players we have in the squad at present. I am often wrong though, so the play offs could be realistic.

We all thought we would kick on after Carlisle and we didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
