Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 As much as I love Cotts,Dicks and Big Joe no manager beats Terry Cooper for me. Plenty are going too shoot me down I'm sure, but TC is a legend, end of. Fred Ford, Alan Dicks and Terry Cooper all legends for me Glyn sadly all had their limitations that found them out, dear old Fred was a coward in the transfer market even when given the funds by Uncle Harry, AD was over loyal and far too generous with contracts and TC was brilliant until suddenly we had money again to buy players, he could find great hungry free transfers but struggled a lot when he had money to spend. Jordan should never have come back, he was a right misery 2nd time around. GJ made us believe for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Has he won a manager of the month yet? I cant recall one? How can he possibly compete with the "young and exciting" MK Dons and Swindon managers? Oh, I forgot, by getting more wins, both at home and away.

Cider_boy Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 OMG! Cotterill is the best Bristol City manger ever! Wow! Lets just hope he can keep the win ratio up in the Championship next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Ferguson took over a Man Utd team who had finished in the top four of the league for 5 consecutive seasons under Ron Atkinson, so 'horse dung' isn't really a fair description of what he inherited when he took over.

North London Red Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 It is when you see how far they were behind,I guess top 4 is success for you,r u wenger in disguise Then you guess incorrectly. I was trying to point out that saying Ferguson's win percentage can't be compared to Mourinho because 'Ferguson managed Man Utd when they were horse dung' isn't really a fair statement, given he took over a team that had consistently finished in the upper reaches of the league in the preceding few seasons (and therefore must have had a reasonably decent win percentage, wouldn't you say?). No mention in my previous post at all about what I consider 'success' to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Depends what you think"horse dung"means,its what we call a rank average side like West Ham,Jose even with all the money he's had at Chelsea( and inter and real )will not end up with a win ratio like Ferguson wouldn't you say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 The most honours and manager won for the club is two. Strange to think Cotterill could get us promoted in first place and win the JPT and he'd be considered on those stats as our best ever manager.

RedGhost Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I think the article is a bit harsh suggesting that the chairman is trigger happy. Coppel walked out wasn't fired, Millen, McWinless and SOD all needed to go and were given enough time imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true that Mourinho has been exceptionally well supported financially at Chelsea and Real Madrid, but he did also win the UEFA Cup and Champions League in consecutive seasons with Porto without spending much money at all - which was a phenomenal achievement. Managing the first ever Italian team to win the treble, and winning the league in 4 different countries are decent achievements too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 TC was brilliant until suddenly we had money again to buy players, he could find great hungry free transfers but struggled a lot when he had money to spend.

It seems that managers who can turn sow's ears into silk purses often find themselves buying more sow's ears at inflated prices when they get a little bit of cash. We can all think of a much more recent example than TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Interesting that our managers last an average of 126 games.... If true it means Cotterill will be sacked/leave around this time next year! Thanks for everything Cotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I can't believe that people are taking the Piss Pot Trophy into account here. Our best managers won't have won it, because we weren't in the basement divisions under them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
