May have cost a bit more but by adding him 6 months earlier could it have been what we needed to put us over the line for promotion.... I'd phone up and cancel Maynard's skiing holiday. He was never the same since the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, the point was improvement. Warnock is a great short term manager. Personally I'd prefer the club had a longer term plan than "**** it, shit or bust" Every time we try to establish a long term plan, we eventually have a poor spell and supporters lose patience, followed by SL, and we start over again.

Lrrr Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 1 hour ago, Aaron-Bcfc said: Disagree, it took him a year to get going with us 10/11 in his first season? Hardly a terrible return, but my point was more about the type of striker he was. We had what adebola, trundle, brooker and byfield who was our top scorer on 8 goals. If Maynard could have come in and scored 6/7 who knows the effect it could have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 We should have splashed out on a quality striker in Jan 2008. Instead we got Dele Adebola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was unbelievable for us in the last few months of the season. One of the most underrated strikers we've had. I'd go back and not appoint McInnes. And sell Marvin Elliott for the £4m Wolves were rumoured to have bid for him. He was never the same player after 2009. We could've done so much with that money back then.

One BCFC Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Got rid of GJ after play off campaign. It all went downhill from there up until SC was appointed Manager. GJ was literally out of his depth in trying to push us on to the next level - we really should have become ruthless. Dire football, dire signings from that playoff final until the appointment of Cotterill. 5 years of absolute rubbish - Steve Coppell, David James, Nicky Hunt, embarassing home defeats followed by poor managerial appointments in Millen, McInnes and the non table looking SOD taking us to the bottom of L1. We owe Steve Cotterill a lot, I know it will annoy some because of last season but we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have cost a bit more but by adding him 6 months earlier could it have been what we needed to put us over the line for promotion.... In his first full season with us Maynard scored 11, so the likelihood is that in a season earlier on in his development he would have scored less. The much maligned Dele Adebola scored at a better ratio than that over the course of the play off season, so I'd argue if we had signed him in the summer we might well have gone up.. (Just to prove my point someone has slagged him off on this thread whilst I'm writing this). Hard to argue with the Cheesley post though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 It was me who mentioned firing up the delorean. But, if I'm honest, I'd trade it in for a TARDIS any day. Much better MPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

where's the joy Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 gerry sharps broken leg at home to middlesboro is the first moment i would like to change in my 50 years of supporting city. an under 23 england prospect suffers career ending 'tackle' and all the brio he brought to our team ended there and then.

Tom Fleuriot Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Some great shouts in here. Much less provable, but one thing I've always wondered is what would have happened if we had given Millen the role straight from caretaker and not appointed Coppell. Probably wouldn't have hamstrung us with those four signings (James, Hunt, Stewart, and midfielder whose name escapes me). Millen would have gone into that close season with momentum and a sense of what he wanted to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Forget transfers. Go back and convince the people that mattered to just create 1 league club I Bristol. I honestly believe the success and support would have been immense. Also develop a full international airport at Patchway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
