Sixtyseconds Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Take a look at how many City fans were watching City when Osman started. Then take a look at how many were left when he was sacked. Then if you know anybody who still went to the away games and went to Pompey on that Saturday to watch City. Ask them how many stayed in the ground till half time to watch Osman defensive machine ground out its 0-0. The Police escorted over half the away support into a nearby pub during a game !!!

Midlands Robin Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I have a bit of sympathy for Osman. The board at the time were in turmoil. This was the era of the 'reform group' and 'European football in 5 years' (ooh er where have we heard that before?). The same board that got caught fiddling the books with the FA grant to build the Atyeo stand. Osman had virtually no cash to play with over the summer of 94 and if you look at how many young (and rubbish) players we fielded at the time we were always on a hiding to nothing. Joe Jordan had almost 3/4 of a season to keep us up with that squad and didn't even come close. Life under Osman wasn't great but it wasn't all his fault and besides, we will always have Anfield.

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 It's a hard one- I think SOD should be on the list though, took us to depths not seen since our collapse down the Leagues in the early 80s. Never thought I would see a time when a Bristol City team would take until the end of October to win a League game- in the third Tier!! Of that list though- Pulis though probably in my time, he was just a terrible fit, terrible football, a string of dismal draws...selling anyone with a bit of flair, bringing in journeymen past their best.

BCFC_Dan Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I think this highlights the recency effect as much as anything. Although some were against LJ from the start, he delivered good performances and results from January to October last year. It's only recently that things went downhill. Benny was a nice man who inherited an awful squad in a league he didn't know. That's not his fault, though the results were definitely poor. Pulis is dishonest, plays awful football, bought terrible, expensive, players and generally sowed division around the place. He might be the best manager of the three in terms of results elsewhere but he was a disaster for City. However, had the option been there, I would probably have voted for Coppell. His unwillingness to take the job seriously showed utter contempt for the club and its supporters. Johnson may be struggling but he's putting the hours in. Coppell was a Tony Dinning of a manager: he just couldn't be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Neither Osman or Pulis saw BCFC relegated. It felt as if both damaged BCFC.

SOD wasn't great either. Not defending Johnson as such, but what is our wage bill at this level? By which I mean how does it compare to the other sides at the level- my hunch is lower midtable so we are still underachieving but not wildly so. Yes I think he needs to go but a comparison of wage bills would be useful and interesting (conversely, Barnsley and Preston are very much overachieving).

I don't know what went on with SL or who signed David James. I don't care. If Coppell was undermined by the signing, why didn't he resign there and then? I have no insider information or anything, I just know what was reported, and it's not consistent with a man being sold a job on a false premise, it's consistent with a man who took a job and then decided it was too much like hard work.

MarkRed! Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 1. O'Driscoll has to be up there but bear in mind he had no £ and was asked to undertake a rebuild of the club, which he did. A lot of the nucleus of the double winning side came from SOD.He was also being given the team sheet by all accounts by certain board members and was happy to sing to their tune. Cotterill only came in because he would not work under that structure. Given we were heading to League Two the board had little choice to adhere to his wishes. Plainly this was also the reason he went as it is clear SL wanted to bring in Ashton to run the club and Cotterill was having none of it..... 2. Johnson has to be the leading candidate because unlike all of our other managers, he has been given the resources and has simply not delivered. When has a Bristol City manager been able to leave million pound players out of the side? Tomlin, Magnusson, Moore, Engvall, O'Dowda... It is really shocking at the resources this guy has had and we are 4th from bottom.... For that reason, he is the worst manager because he can have NO excuses.

Talk Of The Town Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Sod and Tinnion for me. both took us to the bottom of the 3rd division. We're currently in a higher league and not in the relegation zone. Yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Tiny Penis was the worst manager I can remember. "Triffic" Tony loved a six footer so we signed Steve "the tan" Jones & Peter Beadle. Jonesey looked awkward & hapless but had a wonderful tan. Beads of course was tainted with gas At the time these signings were so uninspiring that when one of them scored there was only a ripple of polite applause around Ashton Gate. Never witnessed that before. Dreadful bloke, sucked the life out of the club. Odious. Russell Osman has to come close simply because he helped to get rid of Jacki in favour of players like the "prolific" Liam Robinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
