CotswoldRed Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I appreciate his contract will tell him to keep schtum, but I wondered if he'd been interviewed or said anything nice about the fans/players to any media outlet? Not heard anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't really imagine Cotterill is in the business of giving platitudes to former employers. He struck me as someone very 'heart on their sleeve' and I suspect the sacking is a bit too raw for him to deal with. I suspect he'd feel that he'd find it hard to give interviews and not say exactly what he thinks so he'd try to avoid giving them at this point at all.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I noticed it too. Usually managers say something like 'its a shame to be sacked, but I wish the fans, players staff all the best for the season and I very much enjoyed my time at X.'

SC did nothing for us in the championship the table shows it clearly. Against sides which SC had picked up one win one draw. Not a slur on JP/WE, just saying comparing 2 games is pretty pointless.

extonsred Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Actually felt the club were very cool in the sacking statement after all he achieved -- feel there could have been a disciplinary issue somewhere -- the suddenness and the timing seemed v strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric04 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 He'll most likely still be paid by City for the next 6 months so won't be saying anything that would jeopardise that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT's Vaseline Tub Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 His pay-off had a confidentiality cause; standard practice these days I'm afraid so no good bye to the fans, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's to be expected. I'm sure he'd be allowed to say he "enjoyed his time", "had some great experiences", "loved the fans" though. I guess once he's after another job he'll inevitably comment when asked. Of course, he'll have to keep anything confidential, well, confidential.

shelts Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hope he does well at his next club he did well for us. As he's not our manager anymore and I'm still a tad worried about the shit he has left us in I'm not interested in what he has to say. Move on.

Forget last season, he had the best budget and bought the best players from the lower leagues. Any decent manager would of taken us close to or got us promoted last season. That's my point of view, its not wrong in my opinion but maybe to others it will (all part of a forum). Apparently robin4ever knows although he clearly doesn't...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 We won't have a league winning manager at Bristol City for years, given the history of this club and it's almost non existent success we should embrace these rare appointments. Instead we'll look back in a few years from the bottom end of league one wondering why we never get anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Most, if not all sacked managers say nothing about the club they've just been dismissed from. Probably because of a gagging order in their contract. Im not surprised that SC hasn't commented - why would he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't even attract league one players now .... But who knows why we are even less attractive now than we were two weeks ago. Hey ho ...!! Are you suggesting Cotterill & Burt didn't know the wage structure before going for Gayle, Gray, Clough etc. Why spend the entire summer chasing players we couldn't afford? Why are we less attractive? We've got 2 players in without a manager, I don't think we're anymore or less attractive than 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghornred Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think that he must have made some demands that evening as the sacking was as much a shock to the board as it was to him as they would have had someone lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't think that is true. There were rumours of a non normal press conference earlier in the day and a couple of posters have claimed that they knew of the sacking a bit in advance of it being in the public domain.
