Big Red Rich Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Nobody wanted Cotts and he took us to the league and cup double. People seemed to be pleased with the appointments of O'Dismal, McInnes & Copout and they were all disasters. So, on that basis roll on Appleton. Seems everyone will be fuming but watch him take us on the verge of the playoffs this season and the league and FA cup double next. Not before he's put one over the gas first mind..... so he at least gets one vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Where has all this "nobody wanted Cotterill" stuff come from? 6% of us did.. Don't want Appleton though, (but think it will be him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Maybe not my first choice, but whatever. It's SL's money, so his choice, and nobody knows how he will perform. I still want Tisdale, that level of sartorial elegance on the touchline is what City really lack, and is what holds us back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This If they are going for Appleton then they might as well have kept Cotts who was pretty much liked by the whole fan base even if we felt it was time for a change.

LondonBristolian Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Appleton would not be my choice and, for what it's worth, I don't believe he'll be appointed. Not least because, if Oxford have any sense, they'll have put a clause in any settlement with their departing CEO that he can't poach their manager at another club. However I will back any manager that gets appointed and keep an open mind until they show me what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet F A Should kept Cotterill if that's the case Look how well he done at Blackpool and Blackburn ? Blackburn & Blackpool who have both shown themselves to be basket cases. Appleton was highly regarded a few years ago but I think made a couple of bad career moves. listen, would I rather have a bigger name such as Pearson, Moyes, Steve Clarke etc, obviously. Do I want MA, not really. But with the exception of GJ, every other manager I've been excited about has ended up being awful. I didn't want Cotts & look what he did in a short space of time..... im still keeping my fingers crossed it will be a big appointment but I'm not holding out much hope.

The settlement wouldn't be with us but presumably they'd know he'd be looking to get in a similar role on a football club. It'd be easy to attach a clause to any golden handshake saying "you only get this money if you agree to these terms" and I'd be surprised if no parting money was agreed and, if it was, if no stipulations were attached.

Chappers Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Because they are not football managers, of course. I just like Tisdale, he's done a great job at Exeter, comes across well, slightly eccentric and such wonderful dress sense. Those outfits have done a good apprenticeship at lower levels, maybe time to see if they can step up and grace Championship touchlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not before he's put one over the gas first mind..... so he at least gets one vote. I thought ODismal was a fail very early on and went against the crowd in supporting Cotts. I was against the sacking of McInnes on the basis he is a clever guy and would learn from his mistakes. Didn't get chance to form a view on Coppell. On that basis get me promoted to the board, pay me £500k pa and I will tell "the club" what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'm not trying to be one of those dig up old thread told you so sort of people as I was very underwhelmed with Cotts signing also, but just a reminder of how popular The appointment of SC was..

Kid in the Riot Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 A lot of assumption Appleton would take the City job! He's on the verge of taking Oxford to Wembley in the JPT, still in FA Cup, heading for promotion to League One (where we could be next season) - big call for him to make. It's not like other job offers won't be forthcoming in the near future if he stays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 The OP is right, nobody is going to vote for Appleton, like nobody would've voted for Cotts. Whatever us lot think we will back the manager we're given, we just have to hope whoever it is can translate SC success' in L1 into the Championship!

stephenkibby. Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Let's be fair here in general we have been f....n pants with our choice of manager ok for me copps yes millen no derek yes sod yes cotts no. And every appointment has gone tits up sooner or later. The only one that has given us any pleasure was cotts and then it seems he was on for self destruction, So is it possible that someone (pearson) could come in and save us? By all accounts he's turned down Fulham and Reading and is interested in the city job is this true? If so lets hope the board for once grow a f....n great pair of balls (or do I mean S.L) and for once go for it!!! Hell weve chickened out so many times and has that worked?
