Nogbad the Bad Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 2 minutes ago, billywedlock said: So based on team spirit alone, and not results, you would allow SC to carry on as normal ? He has shown no signs of ability to adapt to the circumstances or the league. It is a glaring issue and one that cannot be ignored if relegation is to be avoided. Team spirit is created by the manager, no doubt, but I would also doubt it would be lost by a change of manager who try to mould the resources available, maybe attract the players we need (SC will not unless we throw big money at it) to get points in the bag to avoid relegation. I wanted SC to make the jump up, but for me he looks further out of his depth by the week. I do not believe for one minute team spirit, current squad and playing 532 will get us anywhere but relegated. No, the squad obviously needs to be strengthened, and very rapidly. To give ourselves ANY chance it's vital we maintain the team spirit engendered by SC and I don't think you should underestimate the potential damage to dressing room morale were Cotts.to be fired. They're mostly young lads, SC's led them to unprecedented success, the pressure's on and there's a real possibility that without him they could lose heart and disintegrate.

NOTBLUE Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Don't know if it's been said but was Lambert,Bennetts manager at Norwich,if so could explain,along with higher wages, his decision to join Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that is all the boards fault either, Cotts has to be a factor. In what way exactly? Club that is managed by someone who Bennett has played for before offers him more money and so he chooses to go there. Whilst I'd accept criticism regarding his lack of pro activity with his substitutions or possibly even the formation, I'm struggling to see what this has to do the bloke who picked Bennett for every single game that he was with us. As for the laughable suggestion that we'll suddenly become so much more attractive to players if he isn't in charge, in all probability that would be Warnock not Moyes or Pearson, so I really do doubt that very much. Anyway, our owner would prefer it if we looking in League One, wouldn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But always get played upfront because I'm a goal machine(in 5 a side). Just because you like a position doesn't make it yours.

Agreed, debacle is almost putting it mildly, and this is why I'm convinced the board must surely be determined to try and put things right by bringing in the necessary reinforcements in this window. If bold and decisive action isn't taken now to strengthen the squad, and City are relegated, the club are very likely to lose 5,000 STH's next season.

hortonred Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 This club is plumbing new depths.A shambles does not do it justice.Any club with an ounce of determination to survive would have had some players lined up and on the way in at the start of the window. It sums up what the people who run this club both on and off the field think of supporters who pay good money to follow them.You should be ashamed of yourselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noggers....How do you know the team spirit and moral is engineered by SC? He's added signings to a group of players already here. Plenty of teams have played as a group of lads, who have played for one another...a band of brothers so to speak...but have done it for themselves and not the manager. Only this week Robinson tweeted that personally City was a bad move, but that he thought the lads were one of the best bunch he'd ever met...no mention of the manager.

JoeAman08 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thought I was the only one considering not renewing because of the shambles of this season. If we go down I may not renew and not because we go down but because of the manner. Got me and the misses a season ticket. £860 total which is quite a bit for me. Love watching the quality of the league but this money goes to BCFC. They returned the favor by being cheap and signing 2 players(I'm counting Baker as he seemed an actual target and not a panic). I'll support the team next season but not at £430 a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 A lot of people seem to have assumed it was a done deal on the basis of one tweet about a kitchen. It could be he wants to hook up with Lambert. It could be his agent playing games and getting us to up our offer. Blackburn might be a bit of a dump but there a nice areas around it.

I don't deny that's possible Spudski, but from everything I've seen over the past couple of years I just think it's incredibly unlikely. You can't have a vibrant and contented dressing room without a manager who is well liked and respected by his players so I would say the commitment, positivity and confidence that we've all seen from the players during his tenure could easily be shattered by his removal. He's signed most of the players, and even the few who were here before he came have advanced their careers hugely under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
