AshtonGreat Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 It was over when they appointed Cotterill....................sorry couldn't resist it To be fair, it was SOD who laid the foundations for this predicament. But it doesn't matter who's in charge - Bristol City are just synonymous with failure and disappointment. Always have been, always will be.

LondonBristolian Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Right thats it. If I hear anybody use the words "transition" or "patience" again, im launching my rockets. And I have a lot of them you know. Thing is we do need a long-term plan. But there's no point in talking of transition or patience when the manager seems to have no clue of what he's trying to achieve. I really, really don't want him to have more time to make poor signings over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 We should've signed Nigel Adkins when he was sacked by Southampton last January, instead of signing O'Driscoll....

Who Are Rovers? Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Sorry, more like when we appointed SOD - the worst City manager of all time. Don't be ridiculous. He's clearly, a proven manager at championship, let alone league one. We went on a 23 game winless streak, and stuck by him. He started turning things around, we we went on a run of 1 defeat in 8, and then sacked him, another, stupid, idiotic decision by the board.

havanatopia Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Switched to blades player for a realistic and less amateurish commentary. How baker and hoskin can make jokes during this is an absolute disgrace to their profession. I have to admit they are more entertaining and professional but i blame that more on the commentator who is a rank 'hospital radio' amateur.

CotswoldRed Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 The players need a ******* rocket up their backsides. If you are as soft as **** you are no use for the run-in. Only the men put their hands up for the challenge. Ship out SC and offer Colin a short term job with a cool bonus for staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bemmyredjeff Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm not sure there even is a short-term answer. We keep trying them and they always end in disaster. One thing I would say is that - having always in the past been in favour of giving managers a chance - I really think it's time to pull the plug on Cotterill. I actually think SOD assembled a promising squad - albeit one that probably wasn't ready and that he struggled to motivate - but I genuinely do not understand what Cotterill is trying to do. The signings have made no sense, Moloney seems to be being forced out of the club at random, our best centre-back is suddenly a right-back and the long-term plan seems to have been scrapped for journeymen singings and random team selections. We need to identify a promising young manager with the ambition and confidence to rebuild the club and give him time to do it. Cotterill is not the answer and is just undoing the few good things that SOD put into place. He hasn't, too many on here don't understand the word mediocrity.

Port Said Red Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yes I would say that a club with our budget should be competitive, but just because you have a budget does not mean you will be. Any team that has had the results that we have had must be in 'transition' as if this is the finished article then yes we are doomed. To transform a club it takes weeks, months even years, and during that transition there will be low points. I will support the club through thick and thin and not just when we have a wembley moment (which is a sticking point for me as I detest the 'glory'; hunters who show up for the 'special' games. To say the squad are garbage is strange as there are players who have put a shift in and have entertained, so to make a sweeping statement like that is quite odd. Oh, perhaps we could just increase the budget and miracuosly buy all of the Man City sqaud, job done??

Cotterill is not the answer and is just undoing the few good things that SOD put into place. Cotterill may not be the answer, but really I think El-Abd and W Elliott are no worse or better than Shorey and Harewood. I think both managers have made mistakes in their own way, but I don't think there was some golden age under the past manager. We're now in the same place he left us, no better, no worse. Anyway, they clearly won't sack Cotterill this season. So, move Osborne centrally and bring back Moloney? Rest JET and start Burns? There are options, but we have to take them as this line-up clearly isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
