havanatopia Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 As others have said, you only have to ask. We CAN lure top names here of that I have no doubt.. said it umpteen times before and we have in Coppell, for example. There are so few jobs around. The one job on his mind, however, might be Villa. cannot see Garde in that job beyond this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman & CEO haven't a clue what they are doing. Ironically the club has actually suffered since Sexstone Left....wasn't popular but he was always willing to speak, through think and thin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was giving examples, not predicting the future. Those jobs aren't available now but the chances are at least one job at a top 6 Championship club will become available this summer after half of them have failed to win promotion.

Correct in the summer one of them might be, it's not the summer and SL should at least ask the question, the fans deserve a good quality manager this time around and not a low rent lower league failure.

Of course. But I don't think Moyes is living off 10p tins of beans while he waits for his benefit cheque. He can afford to wait for the right job and in my opinion he'd be wise to do so. I'd love him to be City manager but I think he'd be taking a massive risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will agree to disagree, taking over a club that already have the stench of relegation hanging over it I believe holds no risk to his reputation whatsoever, the clubs that would want him now will still want him come what may, that is my opinion.

MigratedRobin Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I don't understand the negativity surrounding David Moyes. The man played for City for quite a while and it's not like the last few seasons have gone well for him. He is absolutely a talented manager and City might just be the club to resurrect his belief in managing teams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that it might suit everybody involved, it would give the fans a boost, it would give Moyes a chance to see how the club works (or doesn't) and give him the summer to either eye up another job possibly in the prem or take our job on. I think SL owes us a 'name' this time around not the usual run of the mill failure. And if he didn't keep us up?.his reputation is on the wane as it is,he won't touch us with a barge pole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Moyes, Pearson, Laudrup, Clarke...one of those four would be a good step forward, the other names would it be any major improvement/change to Cotterill??

cidered abroad Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 If we don't ask him we will never know. And never forget that the only time David Moyes ever won a trophy/medal as a player was with Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a manager in decline you have to be very careful not to take a step too far down the food chain because if you fail then all options above become unavailable. Sadly we're far too far down the food chain and my opinion is that it won't happen. A manager in decline.......a club that is a ****in shambles , a perfect fit ?!

Midlands Robin Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 An interesting thought. If (ok so it's a big IF) Moyes did come to us. One of his most trusted staff is a certain Jimmy Lumsden. Now that would be an interesting come back. I had a brief chat with Jimmy in the bar at Clevedon's ground after Buster Footman's testimonial. One of the comments he made was the fact that a number of people had asked for his autograph and he said "it's funny, the last time I was here everyone hated me." He was of course, the man who sold Super Bob to WBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way one's stock has fallen and the other is inexperienced in my view. Laudrup's record is mixed at best. Pearson?.. the oddball weird one?...he would probably keep us up but I prefer Moyes by a million miles. 5 hours ago, cynic said: There is as much chance of Moyes coming here as there is of Steve Cotterill sending SL a Christmas card next December.

Iron Acton Red Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I can't see all this fuss over Gary Monk.He took over at Swansea while they still had a good team from previous managers,apart from that he has no managerial experience whatsoever.It would be a huge gamble to take a punt on him and personally I have doubts.

Midlands Robin Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 He took over as Manager after Joe Jordan left. He didn't do too well but worse than that, he sold Super Bob Taylor to Bobby Gould's West Brom team for 250k. Gould himself said he couldn't believe it, he would have paid millions for Taylor and was just chancing his arm when he made what he thought was an initial offer. Taylor went on to score a shed load for the Baggies and become a bigger hero there than he was with us. Lunsden was replaced by Dennis Smith not long after, but that's another story.
