havanatopia Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 4 weeks ago, when Barnsley were only beginning their upturn, I suggested they might sack Johnson and appoint Cotterill. Have City just paved the way for our ex manager to take over at Oakwell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 When I looked at the Sky Bet odds earlier he wasn't listed at all which I found a bit surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick's Marvels Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 No would be my guess because Barnsley's statement explaining they had given Johnson permission to speak with City made it clear they have a head coach set up and Cotterill is the polar opposite, being an old school manager. Something which contributed to his down fall at City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I doubt if Cotts would fit into their set up - a little like we have currently adopted in Mark "Corporate Talk" Ashton, He will find a decent job - I just hope he sits tight and don't make the same mistake as Gary Johnson did when leaving us. If GJ would have sat tight, rather than taking the first job offering at Peterboroigh (was it ?) he would have possibly remained a championship manager - he's back in the conference for that reason, albeit will hopefully get Cheltenham back up this season, Talk of Moyes ? He would not step down to the championship - reason being, if he failed, he would be back in tier 3 where he started with Preston. Moyes will wait until a mid table premiership side come in for him. Cotts - sit tight fella, you will be back in the championship within 6 months! Edited February 6, 2016 by tomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon after having a taste of what it was like here in the Championship managing big ego's i think he was happy to drop down to the lower leagues where he feels more comfortable..

Not so sure about that. I think it was the Northampton disaster that left him in the football doldrums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
