headhunter Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Whilst this remains another rumour topic I'll pick up on the comment that someone wrote that Torrent was up for the job with Flamengo in Brazil. It is true they need a new coach after Jorge JESUS left a week ago but from what I can see Carlos Carvalhal is in talks along with former Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim. Would Jardim be another overseas contender for our job? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_Jardim ; bit out of our league perhaps!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 If this has any truth in it at all then that will mean keeping holden and McAlister ..So the question then is why sack Johnson in the first place we might as well of kept him,For me all three should of been out the door not just the one they come as a team an failed..

headhunter Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Thought I'd get an NYC view on Torrent so posted this on their forum. Seems he was well regarded. Hi UK based Bristol City fan here. There was a rumour on our forum yesterday that Domenec Torrent was amongst the candidates for our Head Coach role. How. was he rated in NYC? Your fans poll suggests a mixed view. Would be interested in your views. It took the players about 25 games to take to his style, but once they did he had us top of the table and a threat to win the entire league. We were sad to see him resign after last season Dome had the team playing a very attractive flowing style of soccer. I could watch the games with fans of the top teams in the world and they would appreciate our style of play and enjoy watching our games even though the players arent top of the world caliber. Dome would probably get Bristol playing like Brentford. You should hope the rumor is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all but I can't see what Holden and McAllister has to do with concerts training ground multi pound sales etc. I'm on about the improvement of players the team set up the experience they give to get the best out of players.. It's hardly been exciting at ashton gate the last few years and yes our cup run season was great but what happened after that?
