Marina's Rolls Royce Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 1)Why post a pitifully subjective barrage of personal abuse without one iota of discussion on SC's abilities? 2)The quote highlights the inane ramblings of a complete idiot. 1) Football fans. See Spudski post 20 above 2) Each quote is from a separate idiot- complete or otherwise. The thread was started by a PNE fan in a similar way to the one started on here about Steve Evans when we played Rotherham. Personally, I find the comments interesting because I rarely read such rants about opposing Managers unless they are horribly successful. In a sort of Ferguson, Mourinho type way and no mention of big squad, loads of money, bought the title blah blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 He "wears exceedingly odd jumpers". That's really mild compared to some of the comments made in the forum about City's recent managers. But he does bake exceedingly good cakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 It's no surprise to other fans slagging off Cotterill. We do it all th time. Mark Cooper for one Karl Robinson another.....it's in football fans DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swan and Cemetery Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Agree that he's just typical Marmite, most on here were hugely sceptical before he joined (inc me), now we love him. From other teams' fans perspectives you can see why he'd rile them, but what he does matters more than what he says, so (for now) we love him. At least he's pretty straightforward, unlike up the M4 where the words are "we're an amazeballs outfit of technically gifted young futsal Gods, who sometimes concede eight as we seek to give our fans the aesthetic delights they deserve, but usually score nine (of which a minimum of six will involve give'n'goes from our goal line to the back of your net)", but the actions are thuggery, diving, getting ever so excited when fellow professionals get red carded and a general whiff of slyness.

Robin1988 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Are we to assume this was in response to a question from by a City fan who actually started by saying Cotts. is a bad loser? Why do some of our fans perpetuate this myth? If he mentions an awful pitch that stopped City playing the sort of football we're capable of, or the deliberate over watering of our half of the pitch, I'd say that's fair comment. This idea he moans more than other defeated managers is poppycock - look at some of the interviews with managers we've beaten this season if you're in any doubt. It's not a myth. He's always been like it, most memorably with Nottingham Forest at Ashton Gate a few years ago. He's gracious in victory, never in defeat, I'd suggest it's you who is kidding themselves if you can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WessexPest Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'm not interested in our manager being top of the popularity pops with other teams' fans. He's doing a fantastic job and that's all that matters. Fergie was almost universally despised by fans of other clubs, but he was a proven winner.

ten minutes of rough Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 What's wrong with Mr Cotterill's jumpers? Probably a northern thing for 'shirts', and tbh I hate the wide collar shirts he wears, 'Butch' Wilkins style. Apart from that ...carry on Steve, there will be haters.

This idea he moans more than other defeated managers is poppycock - look at some of the interviews with managers we've beaten this season if you're in any doubt. As for his reaction of 'staring at PNE fans' let's not forget they were not only verbally abusing him from close range at the time but throwing plastic bottles as well when he had to run the gauntlet at the tunnel area at the home game. Plus they're PNE fans and they detest anything which has ever been associated with Burnley FC just like we might find asociation with Rovers and Cardiff something unforgiveably abominable.. But if a City fan fed them this nonsense of City fans thinking Cotterill is an especially sour loser, more shame on him, there's simply no evidence as far as his time at BCFC is concerned. Being 'a winner', which with City he most certainly has been, doesn't automatically mean he cant take a fair and square defeat on the chin, but if there's a reason which may have put us at a disadvantage he's quite entitled to stand up for his players by airing it. The thread for anyone that is interested is herehttp://www.pne-online.net/forum/showthread.php?93393-Steve-Cotterill I certainly commented on it, and ummm, in hindsight maybe I did a little of what you say, but was trying to position it within positives as well. Take your comments on board however. It was certainly not a City fan led thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
