CyderInACan Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 BRISTOL CITY: Steve Lansdown assumes leading role in search for next manager at Ashton Gate | Bristol Post So obviously we are no further forward than we were when Cotts was relieved of his duties. What a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Doesn't he actually have the leading role in all major decisions anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Did you read the article? "The club have been sifting through a short-list of potential candidates, a process that has gone far enough to now warrant the involvement of City's majority shareholder" Progress made, owner now involved in the final selection from a shortlist - seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Guest Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I wonder if SC was sacked from Holiday or if he went away whilst the position was vacant. Either way very uninspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Bit of a non story cobbled together with a bunch of already known facts, assumptions and opinions.

Coppello Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I think that this is positive news. I was resided to the fact that Pemberton is going to be given the job and this can only mean that they are still genuinely considering other managers.

Admin phantom Posted January 26, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 OK - Maybe reading this wrongly but the line And majority shareholder Lansdown, recently returned from a holiday in Namibia, is now ready to involve himself fully in the process of identifying and appointing City's next manager. Are we correct to assume that SL was going to get the final say on this appointment - is the delay because we were waiting for him to get back from holiday?

Dave Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 When Mr Ashton, explained his role in appointing a new manager, he said it was to sift through the options, and make his recommendation. That would imply that we are nearing the end game, however Mr Stockhausen has stated that it was unlikely that an appointment would be made before Saturday's game. Once again, the Club does not communicate with its supporters on progress, the silence leaves a vacuum for a journalist to inform or misinform Bristol City supporters. I have said before that I do not expect an announcement of every twist and turn, but it is now over a week since the last statement, and on official information from our Communications Dept, we still have a list with some surprising names on it.

Who76 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Has he come back off holiday because the people left in charge are incompetent??

cityfan Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Wouldn't it be great if Mourinho came to City till the season end before he moved into a position at Man U. Couldn't do his reputation any harm whatsoever and it would be a kind gesture, one that could be difficult for Bristol City to turn down, not just because of his management skills, but the huge increase in awareness that it would bring to the football club. it would be a great story. Given that won't happen, get in Neil Warnock. Totally proven and will have players that want to come and play for him to deliver survival for BCFC. Given them stay up bonuses and have their contracts purely run to the end of this season. Simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
