Bar BS3 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Having just listened to SC's first interview on Player, I like what I hear.... Of course, the proof will be in the pudding, but several myth's were dispelled and certain aspects were addressed that make me feel a little bit more positive. Highlights include Not a personal friend of Keith Dawe (so this was obviously petty shit stirring from some on here) Focus on how WE play and not be dictated by what the opposition do. Play at a high tempo and look to pass the ball. "zip the ball around" Keen to give youth a chance and reels off an impressive list of players that he gave the "big break" too. Mix youth with experience to help them learn. Keep to the long term plan. Will be moving to Bristol because he likes to work long hours and get stuck into the job. Describes himself as "hard working, honest, knowledgable, discaplined. Focus on winning games and getting results. I know that words mean little, but these are all the things that I wanted to hear - so go for it SC and hopefully prove many on here wrong. This would include myself, but now is the time to be positive and SUPPORT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!james Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Not a personal friend of Keith Dawe (so this was obviously petty shit stirring from some on here) That was taken from local journalist Chris Spittles on twitter who stated: @ChrisSpittles Cotterill has a good relationship with City chairman Keith Dawe, who has championed him in the boardroom for some time Unsure if 'personal friend' but they certainly know eachother...

lugger Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 As much as I'll get behind the appointment these first interviews are a well trodden path. You can pretty much script them.

Bar BS3 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 So, NOT a personal friend then, as I have only seen written on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippy273 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 At this point in time, words are only words. I'll back him as and when i see results and i'll make my own mind up as to whether we are heading in the right direction or not. SOD's sacking was already ridiculous.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 As I say not overwhelmed, but hey ho, we've had worse. As I also said earlier, don't worry Mr Cotterill because BCFC fans are fair minded and even handed what ever happens this season will not count because this is not your team or mess, so you can start your particular 'transition' at the start of next season and you can be judged after 18 games just like your predecessor was, fairs fair. PS:- Save us from relegation first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Talk is cheap. Any muppet can have a look through the threads on here and see what we do and don't want from a manager then say the right things. The views of the forest fans suggest either many forest fans are lying about the way he likes his teams to play, or he is! He - as any new manager does - will have my support. All I want this season is to stay up. That's depressing in its own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He forgot to mention putting more meat in the half time pies. Of course. I'm not naive enough to think it was likely to be a negative interview, but he specifically commented on most if not all of the main aspects for concern at his appointment - which is what I wanted from him. If this turns out to be nothig more than lip service (over a reasonable period of time. I'm not expecting miracles) then I, along with many others will turn against him, but for starters he has commited to provinding the main things that we need, so at this point in time he has my full backing.

Mind you why does it bother you so much you won't be going to the games and supporting the team like others will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
