Both signed some of the worst player's I ever saw, I would say certainly Osman took more stick from the terraces, I think he’s the only player I’ve heard City fans boo when he scored for us !!!!!

Thankfully Cotts picked up and gave us great memories! Always remembering watching us lose to Swindon in the cup at home as we passed it around the defence with no idea what to do next! Long live the 5 pillars. Didn’t So’D sign a few players that were in the double season? my memory is getting worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still convinced Pulis and Lindsey Parsons deliberately mismanaged us due to the sag connections. I'm absolutely certain I recall him saying in an interview when he came back here with Stoke that it's nice to manage a club called City here that he actually wants to manage. Or words to that effect. 12 hours ago, 3 Peaps In A PodCast said: Statto! Wow - well i never knew that! The Evening Post were all over it at the time.

In fairness, we haven't had too many player managers. As for the Great Man in question, I've said it before and I still stand by it. Brian Tinnion was the most important signing this club has ever made. And I don't think I will ever be convinced otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 One his best performances was as player manager at Walsall, it was a terrible Day merson was playing for them, he came on put two goals on a plate in about fifteen minutes and nobody could get near him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 SO’D was absolutely instrumental in some areas. I know fans didn’t like him, some loathed, but he bought in Pack, Flint, Fielding, Williams, all of which brought in huge value in one way or another, and made the club totally focus on the academy as he knew the potential we could have in that area if we got our fingers out. Was a huge driver in getting us category 2 iirc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness the idiots didnt force him out years ago I was going to post similar. I vividly remember a section of the crowd giving him stick in his early days with us.

Oh Louie louie Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 One of the shortest but straight to the point calls on radio Bristol ever, any manager who lets tins go in goal in a game, should not be managing, I think he had a point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, when I used to work near Millenium Square, he was a regular in Costa or striding across the square in his shorts, muscle vest and “footballers” flip-flops!

I seem to remember a story about him getting dog`s abuse off some moron while he was doing his supermarket shopping one time. I think he said he nearly gave up with City afterwards.

Yes, remember this well. Osman had been getting stick from a section of the crowd; there was an EP headline one evening supposedly quoting Tinnion, it read “Get off the manager’s back” This of course then made him the target of the boo boys.
