What I was going to say before I edited the post to avoid more nonsense like this you've just spouted above was: If I'd started this thread and knew the information to be true I wouldn't ask for it to be closed. Very suspicious. I'd want it open so I can come back tomorrow night or Saturday or whenever, after the City players have been arguing amongst themselves and throwing their shirts at Johnson when they're subbed. Leave it open then. It's just this thread has turned into a pathetic slanging match . Thats why I said close it . I know what I originally posted is 100% true. Keep it open.

Go back through the thread right to the start and count the sly digs and jibes mate . I reacted and rightly so. I passed on valid information I was given and certain posters resorted to trying to belittle me and mock me. As I said...this forum has gone down the pan in recent years. Anyone posts anything decent they hear they are either ripped to shreds or the threads end up in pathetic repetitive puns and jokes .

Andy082005 - I am curious why you liked this comment. Go back and read you posts from January 2016 - you were constantly slagging off Cotterill and the board, couldn't find a good thing to say about him then. Wouldn't want to slag him off would you.

I know this because I was in the same carriage. I didn't have anything City-related on so he would not have known I was a fan and I was hoping he'd say something indiscreet and interesting in one of the numerous phone conversations he had. He did not and that is why this isn't a particularly interesting story. Not to hijack the thread but has anyone else got any non-stories about encounters with recent City players? Nope nothing as interesting as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Replacing the most successful manager we have had in recent history and the ONLY one ever to give us a meaningful double trophy in one season was always going to be an extremely risky and challenging task. I personally was very underwhelmed with the appointment of Lee Johnson exacerbated by the sacking of Steve Cotterill; not as if the masses were demanding his removal, to the best of my recollection. The board and the owner were, therefore, always going to be on a hiding to nothing with the appointment unless they got it bang on. The early days made the decision look like a remarkable appointment notwithstanding the fact we all should know that change, any change, can give a lift to a poor run. Of course it has since gone wrong in nothing short of spectacular fashion and so some are re-visiting the sacking of SC. That is fair enough. All I can say is that the board and, particularly, the owner will likely need to swallow a lot of pride fairly soon and make a change once more. if they don't I think we are going down; hardly sticking my head above the pulpit either in saying such a thing am I ?!

It was time for him to go. Simple as that. He did an incredible Job in a short space of time but as expected, was found out at this level . Just like I did with Gary Johnson. Another man who was successful here. You could see months before he was fired that he had ran out of ideas. If 'slanging off' is meaning I want a manager sacked and his behaviours had turned ridiculous ...then guilty as charged Now to Lee. A man who should never have been given the job in the first place. A man who....in 12 months has dismantled a team . Selling players like Luke Ayling and Freeman. Laughable. Don't underestimate how important to the squad these two were. We had a group of friends who played football...who needed adding to, not dismantling . Stop trying to make stories out of nothing to, once again, belittle me. Cotterill should have went after the 3-0 defeat at Rotherham....he held on for about 2 more months. As for the board ....I've always said they are clueless how to make us a successful championship club. Bless them for trying ...but they are clueless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does everything have to be about someone's 'agenda'? I have none. I have supported every single manager from the word go, whether I wanted them at the club or not, which is more than can be said for some. I was vocally against Cotts but got behind him from minute one once appointed. I loved the time under Cotterill at L1 but he was an awful manager in the championship whichever way you look at it. As for not being backed by the board, I must have imagined the multiple times they sanctioned the clubs transfer record to be smashed in order to get players for him. Its hardly pedantic to call out a statement like 'nothing but joy' when he was booed off the pitch week in week out before his inevitable departure after shouting abuse in the face of fans.

Not the best football though. Can't have it all. Feel free to disagree Blimey. I actually quite enjoyed the football. Free flowing, attack minded and pretty much always set out to win a game of football. The feeling you got going to the Gate was superb. For the first time in many a year you were confident of winning let alone getting a point. Even if we went a goal down you still believed we were going to win. Quite a surreal feeling in my time as a supporter. The football now is diar. We concede a goal, you fear the worst. Players look lost owing to lack of a plan. Cotterill set his stall out (to his detriment in the end) with 352. Everyone knew there jobs. So frustrating that we didn't build on the Summer of 2015. We had a real opportunity. Cotterill and the board at fault. The board at fault again with the appointment of LJ. The horrible man comment. From the outside it looked as if he treated the players like his own and they backed him. The chemistry that he formed with those players was quite special. Horrible - maybe. Could that not also be seen as passionate. A winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
