Put it this way, within football he isn't on many Christmas card lists and is largely loathed for having an attitude that betrays more about misplaced confidence in himself than any innate talent. Have heard from people "in the game" too say that he is a "Marmite" type of guy. 1 hour ago, Bar BS3 said: The beauty of this is that Cotts did not specifically slag them off. He made up a fictional team name and it’s them (and us) that made the cap fit them. Let's be honest he was referring to Bristol Rovers 53 minutes ago, Andy082005 said: Interested to know where you heard this from....as I actually heard quite the opposite *See above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 20 minutes ago, Ska Junkie said: What I don't get is the colony puchase. If WAQ and his mob were going to asset strip the sags, why buy the field in Almondsbury? Did they put that against the value of the Mem as well by any chance? I can only assume that it was put forward by a well minded person and they (al Quadi's) thought, why not? It was worth a punt. Keeps the fans interested by stating they're building a new training ground and, they're likely to make money if they can waffle on for a few years to keep the mindless ones happy, then sell it with PP for housing as it doesn't meet their training requirements. These things take time mind, it's not all smoke and mirrors, especially if it's not from the club, it could be rumours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 44 minutes ago, Rich said: Not sure what's not entirely true and they have the rugby ground and the colony to show for it.. When you say spent, would you purchase something like a re sellable asset and say it's spent, as opposed to invested? Because the term spent, means it's gone. That is most certainly not the case as, any money gone from their accounts, has been secured against the assets, so is effectively still there and, in this case increasing in value. For the benefit of Wally & family, not Rovers. They have safe guarded their input and if they call it in, then Rovers are finished. Unlike SL, who’s turned the majority of his input into shares, so never gets it back unless we make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t some Scottish manager, about 10 years ago say something like...”if they don’t pull their finger out and start performing, then they will be lucky to get a contract at Bristol Rovers”..? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Some people should check their facts before spouting bollox shouldn't they? As for Cotterill his success at Cheltenham was over 16 years ago and his Bristol City side included breaking their transfer record at the time to sign Agard (about 800k) and spending 500k on Luke Freeman. There were other significant deals too. I'm not as against his appointment as some, but he wouldn't be my choice. I would have thought our transfer record at the time was still Maynard at £2.25M and didn't we get Freeman for not a lot as he was out of contract? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hilarious that they were so convinced it referred to them, shows what they think of their own club. I don’t remember him ever mentioning Rovers let alone slag them off. It’s dicks like Dopey Darrell who have to resort to that sort of thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To his credit he gave us a season to remember (worryingly might do similar for them,) only to undo all that work by letting his 'character' come to the fore. Only the desperate would offer him a route back post Birmingham. Then Rovers it is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judah_Eskendar_Tafar Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 While Hollow-head’s bungling yokel comedy schtick might be considered mildly amusing in London or the frozen north it wouldn’t fool anyone in the South West, other than that I don’t believe he has much to offer. He’s a spent force, a yesterday’s man relying on former glories. I hope Wally gives him the gig, it’ll be like Shearer and NUFC all over again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
