Between heaven and hell Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The way I see it our next appointment will give some indication as to just how serious Steve Lansdown is about taking is on to the next level. In my opinion the likes of Appleton, Tisdale and Warnock would definitely be the cheap options. Sherwood, Pearson and Clark would be excellent appointments but the recruitment of Moyes would send out a clear statement of intent. In our position where we are struggling to attract players we desperately need to appoint a manager such as Moyes so players can see just how serious the owner is to succeed in his quest to take us to the premiership.

Chalkie Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 SL has spent £45 million on the stadium rebuild which oozes far more qualitty than the likes of Cardiff and, reportedly, was prepared to spend several million on big money transfers, I cannot see why he would then look at a Poundland" manager. A championship level appointment should be the least to be considered if we are to kick on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest paulcitymod Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Neil Warnock previously publicly stated that he hates coming to Ashton Gate/Bristol City.

robin_unreliant Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 God help us if the Mail is right. Appleton or Cooper. Only straw I can grasp at there is SC was someone I didn't want at the time and I was totally wrong about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Warnock as an interim would be a sensible option, or basically any championship version of Sam Allerdyce who will give us a good chance of keeping us up and then be able to have a proper recruitment process before the window opens in the summer. If we did then drop, same principal applies just identifying someone for league 1 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 So - judging by this conversation nobody thinks the Daily Mail have a clue then? No mention of Colin there - its Appleton or Cooper. If they are at all ITK shouldn't this be a tad worrying? The thought they could be right frankly terrifies me.
