Guest Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 It must have took some planning by the board to sack our manager in the middle of a transfer window, as the first day is now wasted as there was no replacement lined up, or he would be here by now. As every minute/hour day passes so does OUR hopes of survival; COMPLETE MADNESS AND COMPLETLY CRAZY even by our boards standard f.f.s get it sorted out TONIGHT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulcitymod Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Steve Cotterill was undoubtedly treated badly and obviously did not see what was coming. His last interview was screened in the afternoon yesterday when he was fairly pumped up - and his departure was announced also yesterday afternoon not long after. I noticed that the 'relieved of his duties' article on the website which first appeared approx 4pm YESTERDAY was the retimed then to this morning which I am sure was a deliberate re-post for historical 'timing' posterity. The poor and 'loaded' tribute by the faceless chairman "Steve did keep us in the division and went on, in conjunction with the rest of the organisation, to deliver a League One championship and Johnstone's Paint Trophy. That season will live in the memory for a long time." In short this mysterious chairman should be ejected as unprofessional, uncommunicative, and downright shifty.

Reigate Red Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 It's Friday night, I've had a few jars so I say sack the lot of em. I reserve the right to change my mind in the morning though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I have it on good authority that the board have fallen out with the new South Stand and will be knocking it down at the end of the season and replacing it with Neil Warnock. Warnock will be expected to hold 5000 supporters although the club will not sanction any attempts by the irritable Yorkshireman to purchase 'a few folding chairs' although on his behalf it will attempt to procure sections of Wembley or the entire Southern end of the Maracana at random points in 2016, just to keep OTIB busy. In a carefully worded statement Keith Dawe has thanked the South Stand for its contribution to seating supporters but acknowledged the wider role of the "organisation" (mainly the board) in ensuring 4000 cubic feet of cement and metal remain upright and comfortably seated. Individual chunks of re-aggregated concrete from the stand will learn of its' fate in five years time as they're being laid under a new motorway resurfacing project. The news will be conveyed to the South Stand by a snapchat from Steve Lansdown consisting of one word, two emoticons and a short video of a bulldozer.

Walk away? Not really sure that will help the situation Obviously not, but an admission of their part in it wouldn't go amiss. We heard quite a lot from them last year when all was well, their silence has been deafening this season. Wether Cotterell should have gone is open to debate, but I think he was hung out to dry by the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 PS the real statement is not just one of, it is THE most shameful thing I've seen from our club. Arrogant, wreckless and treats both the subject matter and the audience as idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is not "should we sack the owner", even if that were possible. So money is irrelevant. The question is, are the 4 current directors of the football club, as appointed by the owner, the most appropriate possible to run a football club. The consensus appears to be clearly no. In which case, does our owner agree and if so will our owner do anything about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will never know if Cotts had the support of signing the papers or if the signing approvals above him refused to approve. Either way there is a total mistrust in the actions of the Board. We need fresh faces who can run business and WHO KNOWS FOOTBALL. 18 hours ago, sh1t_ref_again said: Yes lets sack the board, that should make it easier to get a new quality manager in quickly The fact we don't know who was at fault, well so what sack em any way. That John Lansdown bloke, let sack him, after all it will save him taking over as chairman in the future and carrying on SL's legacy, on him why not get him to sling his hook and the millions of pounds investment, after all who needs a new ground and stability. I did not want SC sacked, but it seems his failure to be able to get fresh quality players in this transfer window, even given the backing to do so created a situation that needed drastic action. Dead right. Having read post after post for months now criticising the manager for his intransigence over formation, selection and substitutions, the board take action to change the manager and suddenly it is the board's fault. I think there are other things that have not helped this season, but also feel that Cotterill did not help himself because he is such a stubborn man and didn;t seem able to see a different ay, when his way was not working. P.S. I didn't want hi to go, but accept the reason he had to in the end - just like Gary Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Does it really matter who the board members are? Good or bad, it seems that there is only one person who makes the key decisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea...let's get rid of Jon Landown, the heir to a family fortune, the family responsible for bailing your team out, who are building that fantastic stadium you are sitting in, who have aspirations to put Bristol City on the map and create some history.......OH and he is as big a Bristol City fan as anyone?

The board must have recognized how weak they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
