Squire Dastardly Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Irrespective of the jesting, I've a feeling we are about to find out if he really is a good manager now. It's easy when you're winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Says bid been accepted but player and his reps need to be spoken to. Cotts says he has been able to sell the club to players before. Player will be good addition if he chooses to come to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Will be SC's chance to sell the club to Dwight Gayle. Cotts says he's done well at that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Irrespective of the jesting, I've a feeling we are about to find out if he really is a good manager now. It's easy when you're winning. I think he's made a great call in his approach to the interview tonight. If confidence isn't great then there's no point in tearing into players and making the mood at a club seem even worse. It's time to coax them back to believing in themselves.

It’sSmiittthhh Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Happy with his response. No blame games. Good news about Joe. Hopefully he will be ok for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 SC puts too much reliance in Kieran Agard, who is still yet to prove himself in a city shirt for me. He bemoans a lack of goals, but allowed goals to walk away from the club in the form of JET. Still firmly behind him, but I don't feel sorry for him when he complains about lacking a cutting edge when we allowed a player of Jets quality to leave. Additionally it's not hard to see why "we have a hangover" from last season - no fresh blood into the squad during preseason to shake up the established dynamic! Maybe, but did you see JET's performance a year ago against Oxford? Also I believe JET was on big wages, a substantial chunk of which were being paid by Ipswich.

BobBobSuperBob Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Have to say he sounded a million miles away from the SC of Saturday - the contrast quite bizarre tbh Obviously none of us know why but anyone want to have a stab as to why the big change ?

Steve Watts Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Interesting comment about "not wanting to speak out of turn about the player and his views"....suggests that the noises about early indications showing reluctance from Gayle to have talks may have substance and that Cotts has a lot of selling to do if we even get them to the table..... It doesn't really bother me if players aren't champing at the bit to join us....we're Bristol City, a very average English team, we're not Barcelona...Outside of our fan base we're not the type club that people grow up aspiring to join.

WhistleHappy Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Much better from Cotts reasonably chilled, as he needed to be, despite losing tonight. A managerial rant now and again isn't a bad thing, a depressed, defeated or despondent manager spreads doubt, panic and fear like wild fire throughout the support, nice one tonight Cotts.

That kind of frustrates me somewhat to be honest. I cannot blame Palace I suppose for wanting the offer on the table, but surely it is not to much to expect if there were numerous conversations for them to have had a quiet word with the player to see if he had any interest at all?

Guest Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Irrespective of the jesting, I've a feeling we are about to find out if he really is a good manager now. It's easy when you're winning.He took a down and out team and saved their season and delivered a midtable finish. He then complimented what we had and built a squad relatively cheaply that absolutely stormed the league and broke all of our records. Oh and not to forget we had just sold the league's top goalscorer. All this mention of easy when winning completely ignores what he walked in to and what he achieved in his first half season, which alone was more than enough to endorse his abilities in my mind. With all due respect (and it is of course just my opinion) SC does not need to prove himself a good manager to you, I, or anyone else who has followed what he has achieved here.

OldlandReddies Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Sounded incredibly upbeat especially after losing to a Luton 'b' team. There's only 1 reason I can think he sounds so chirpy.......Mr Gayle is coming to the Gate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
