The Bard Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 9 minutes ago, GrahamC said: I did, actually. So did I. Being a sad bastard I've found the post to prove it. Nice to see my view more or less confirmed (plus my view of Dean Saunders and our board). The Bard Members 303 1,310 posts Posted 30 Nov 2013 · Report post My opinion of Cotterill is based on what a mate who played at Cheltenham for him told me about him. Basically, he's meticulous, has a very up and at em attitude and is focused on individuals winning their one on one battles. Can someone intelligent explain to me his failures? He's not Dean Saunders. He's not even an odious egomaniac like Colin, Hollowhead or Di Canio. He's a bloke from Cheltenham who has a decent career as a football manager. When he took over Cheltenham they were a Southern League side and he left them in this division, 3 promotions later. He's managed at Championship level and kept a smaller club than us (Burnley) there over a number of seasons. He managed to keep Portsmouth in the league when the club was disintegrating around him. Working for the muppets we have in charge will seem like a doddle in comparison. If he can do a similar job for us as he did for Notts County I'll be pleased as will everyone on here.

cityexile Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 If he can inspire Oxford to thump whoever they play next by at least six, he would get one browie point from me, so lets not unsettle him until the weekend is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Shows clearly the clubs intentions if we employ this no mark from Fo0king Oxford. Pay the money FFS and get Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to it. I have realised something today, realised something that means I now know with certainty that the likes of keepupo are talking out their asses, that our most successful manager was hung out to dry by ahem amateurs, that Bristol City fans are being duped, that if this club were run by the calibre of people I have long advocated together with the cash that's been pumped in, that we would not be in this mess.

You do not understand what has happened. I thought Cotts was fantastic last year and was wrong about him, I admitted that!! I personally think he drove himself out of the club with his stubbornness.. If he had been a tad more flexible with his teams and formations maybe we would be where we are now? The subs must have felt like a spare part sat on that bench knowing they went gonna play a part what ever happened!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was stubborn because it is what he believed in - thats what dug us out of a deep **** up, remember? Ever occurred he may have been absolutely shafted to save the embarrassment of others?

I can disprove that by many comments including one on a thread only earlier this evening. So maybe you are the one with an agenda. SL is a good chap in many ways no doubt but we all have our faults.
