The guy who got us here and didnt get a decent crack of the whip imo.

Even SL/Dawes said of him "the man to take us forward" and "Prem manager in the making" too late now or could he bring back the fire and unite support? ?

Yep. Love the bloke for what he did here but his time has been and gone, and people forget how bad we were by the time he left (the reasons for which have been done to death)

Exactly this. Plus he did really well in League One when he could identify the players he needed and we could afford to sign them. Getting the best out of bargains and youth players isn’t his skillset and that is what we need right now.

He wasn’t given the funds that deserved his achievements before… why would he be given them now when we can’t afford it?

All these posters are correct.

I loved the bloke was one of very, very few on here who was delighted when we appointed him but he’s not the answer.

Will always be grateful with how quickly he turned us around though.

I know why Cotterill was sacked - just everyone who at Senior Reds Xmas lunch in December did.

You all heard what SL said .....but why would he air all the woes and falling's out to the Senior Reds - he's not accountable to you lot is he?

You might as well say something's a fact because you heard a Government Minister say it on TV ? ? ?

The same guy who wanted to sign Andre Gray at £9mill in 2015?

 

Great during that L1 season, although we did have the best team in the league. Not a manager who was going to tear up trees in the Championship and was quite negative in terms of youth development, so didn’t fit the culture at all once we got there.

2 days before he was sacked 12th Jan 2016 we lost at home to Preston our team was; o donnell, Ayling, Flint, Baker, Little (subbed for Burns) Pack, Smith, Freeman (subbed by Reid) Bryan, Wilbs, (subbed by Agard) and Kodjia lost by 1-2 to Preston; scorers for Preston Cunningham and Baker (own goal) some players there but 2 days later SC was shown the door after really a short 256days in championship; we have had a lot worse managers since, who have spent bucket loads and had much more time and got us.....well within a point or 2 from relegation spot, hardley great investments for your millions Steve L and co eh?

I love this and I hate it. Love it, because it’s true and hate it because it illustrates how much has been wasted

Dont know how many managers there have been  since SC or how much has been wasted by those managers but it was no-where near what this club rewarded SC with after getting us here in the first place; if cotts had those millions who believes we would still be here battling to stay out of the relegation zone a battle we will lose one day very soon now.

SL needs to reverse his many poor decisions and give SC a decent run at it, not likely I know but could and probably will do far worse....just look at his manager CV choice since. :facepalm:

And - 2 days AFTER he was sacked Mark Ashton was appointed. (SC sacked Thursday evening....MA appointed Saturday morning -- clearly already lined up)  Cotts having refused to use Ashton's "recruitment model" preferring his own eyes and contacts. SL chose MA over SC.

And so it began.
