I don't think it takes every single board member to be searching for a new manager. All that's required for RB is a 5 minute QnA about it.. Arguably they have a responsibility to do it anyway.

Ivorguy Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 We have to remember that English football is largely in the hands of those who feel that their only accountability is to their own egos Roll,on the day when City are a truly community run club answerable to its supporters and the wider community, including local radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unan Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Although understandable due to obviously being busy, the amount of time and money all of the supporters put into the club you'd think they could get someone to give us a bit of information, David Lloyd?

Red Exile Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 You'd have to ask what the media team are doing…RB has Adam Baker's number, there's Lisa Knights…can't imagine either of them are engaged in recruiting a new manager. But the truth is, the powers that be don't consider themselves answerable and won't want to bother... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin1988 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Anyone care to defend the board here over Cotterill, who faced the questions and criticism over a lack of strengthening while they remained largely silent, bar one interview where SL completely undermined his manager? He did not get the backing. Fact. The board are spineless. This is just another example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can theorise all we like, but only a select few people know the truth, and the fact is that it's unlikely that (m)any of those people are on here.

It probably came as a shock to everyone outside of the board room. One wrong word and it could open up a can of worms. This is undoubtedly correct. Adam Baker didn't sack Cotts, so before he or any of the media team can comment they will need to be briefed and an agreed form of words settled on. Particularly if this wasn't planned, but cones in the wake of some big bust-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I also think there was a bust up between the board and SC, probably over the fact that he couldn't get the players he wanted because of the capped wages policy. I am not ITK, but IMO that is what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaverface Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 On a slightly different note, I was listening to SAM FM this morning, and the breakfast presenter was saying the SC won't be missed by any of the media. Apparently, SC belittled them a lot in front of other reporters and has even taken a couple of seasoned reporters outside and had a massive slanging and shouting match with them !! I do wonder if SC has overstepped the mark one too many times recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
