When was the last time that you got excited over a new City manager ?

[wallaceboy]

When big Joe returned from Scotland to manage us for the 2nd time.

Coppell.

[Kingswood Robin]

Coppell.

Not a reason to shy away from appointing someone with success at this level again. Look at how many average Joes we've appointed and got nowhere.

Coppell and to a degree Mcinnes and SOD initally. 

[David Brent]

I got a bit over excited when Millen was appointed. I even threatened to never set foot inside Ashton Gate again. I was chatting sh*t of course.

Tinnion. What a guy!

Did you get banged?

[BS4 on Tour...]

Denis Smith - I thought that was a good appointment, he got bugger all time to achieve anything though...

[GrahamC]

Cotterill.

I genuinely thought he was a good fit for where we were (and guess what, he was).

[Bazooka Joe]

When we appointed good old Harry Thickitt in 1905.

The Oyez!, Oyez! Oyez! forum went into meltdown that day and the three young urchins that were sent up Harry's chimney came back chanting "Bristol Sooty!"

 

[Show Me The Money!]

McInnes I was really positive about as a lot of us were worried we'd end up with Mark Robins at the time.

Both McInnes and SOD talked very good games. SOD especially if you wanted to talk tactics and such like came across very impressively but they both failed. With McInnes I'm still baffled as to what went wrong as he started pretty well but then once we started to go into a bad spell he couldn't get us out of it.

[Oops]

The sooner the club sits up and takes notice of this forum the better. I cannot BELIEVE that the thread starter has nearly 10,000 posts in just 2 and a half years, and STILL the board refuse to acknowledge his expertise and experience. It's a ******* travesty. The law of averages dictates that at least 4% of posts must carry something of value or merit, so a ratio of 0.05% is not to be sniffed at. To overlook this prodigious contribution is nothing less than criminal.

Quite possibly this.  Swindon at home (in front of the cameras, I think) was the falsest of false dawns.

[Septic Peg]

Cotts... had no doubts...

Also, I very happy with SOD... 

[Offside]

Most exciting for me were Joe Jordan's return in the 1990s and Coppell's appointment. 

I was also really pleased when we appointed SOD. 

Shows what I know.

Super furry Benny Lennartsson.

[Dunstable Reds]

This morning...when I heard we were talking to one of the brightest prospects in the game and that he'd also well, wow, played for us.... But I suspect he will get stick from the same mob who didn't rate him as a player. What relief there's no Pearce Pearson or Warnnock lucky escape.
