But having "got to know" the real Cotts here, you've got to say the bloke deserves so much more than he's ever really gotten. I hope Shrews go down, now. The Shrew and The few...that'll do.

Sleepy1968 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 4 minutes ago, Percy Pig said: Boardroom drivel, from the accounts I've read. Decisions being made without his input, I actually presumed he would resign before the new season started because of the DOF stuff/radio interviews at the end of the Probably not best to resign in those circumstances unless you were confident of winning a constructive dismisal case, or didn't need the payoff. Seems pretty unprofessional by the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobArnold10 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Been told on very good authority that the chairman is upsetting people left and right, and this decision was essentially made before the last ball had been kicked. Have to be careful what else I say but it’ll be a case of watch it all come crumbling or he’s gonna be a visionary, but the feeling is the former. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the chairman has a habit of employing people then falling out with them, and there's been no sight or sound of Cotts since the season ended.

If you continually fall out with people. Does it not come across your mind that it might be you that is the problem? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Ecko said: He had a bust up with the chairman over a signing a few weeks ago. Sounds a bit like stories when he was here - ie wanted to sign better players without being prepared to be constrained by a budget. Their chairman seems to think he was overspending, or wanting to. Also some fans thinking Wilbs might take over. Edited June 1, 2023 by Leveller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Cotts has done enough to earn himself a good league 1 job with what he's done there, if anything they're pushing him out while his stock is high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Seen him walking around Cabot a couple of weeks ago so assumed he still lives in the area.
