cityexile Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I have rhe benefit of not having posted in the orginal, but if I had, it most likely would have, in complete truth, been along the line of; - Surprised and disappointed in timing, amd would have given SOD longer (o dear....); - worried by this guys reputation; - he is now the manager, these are dark times, lets get behind him. Clearly, in hindsight, entirely wrong! However that is a million miles different from saying I want him to fail so I can say 'told you so'. Why on earth would anyone wish that.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Come on there is so much comedy gold on this thread or is it just plain embarrassing?. Still in 3/4 years time if he get's sacked, many of you can say "look I was right all along", just like Robbored did over another former manager. Probably not quite one for the classics yet but certainly getting there and promotion will confirm it's status, actually cheered me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm pretty hungover, so can't really be bothered to get annoyed by your cluelessness today. Suffice it to say, even jokingly claiming a journeyman manager who's had a successful start is a legend but our record appearance maker who literally broke his ******* skull in service to this club and has played with blood pissing out of cuts sustained putting his bonce on the line for BCFC is nothing more than an excellent servant? What a crock of bollocks. And I mean Journeyman in its truest sense, as defined by the oxford dictionary. Not the ridiculous creation of a word by illiterate football fans. Now I'm going back to bed. Legend? We've got bellends on here who don't think Carey deserves that status? We might not even go up this season!! See above and also your signiture. Judging by the post of Nogbad the Bad that's a quite insulting thing to say! I don't think I'm any of those things? Am I? Undermining, humiliating, bullying, insulting. Very Tansleyesque indeed. My main regret about this forum is not the tosh spoken for which we are all guilty at some point or another, but that people don't always debate civilly.

Just had a bit of a funny 5 minutes over SO'D/Cotts. imo., and he's finding it difficult to accept a manager he clearly didn't like, or deem suitable, from day 1 - for whatever reason - has so far been a runaway success, and his strong misgivings have proved unfounded. He really can't have any complaints about Tetbury's compilation post. After all he did actually say all the things quoted individually so can have no qualms if they are put together in one post. Forum's thrive on strongly opinionated and outspoken comments but they will be noted by those who argued against them with equally strongly held views at the time, and we should all be aware our comments can be ressurrected when they've been proved to be wrong or memorably over the top. That applies equally to all of us, and in this case it seems fair enough to me that someone has pointed out KITR's sustained criticism of SC - much of it personal - that in many people's minds was unfair at the time and over what is now a prolonged period has surely been shown to be very ill judged indeed.

My point was merely that if you go back and look at the Sheff U away match thread of whatever they'll be plenty of comments slagging off SC, the team, the board etc - yet it is only mine that have been resurrected! In context, some of the comments / frustrations were well founded. I remember saying for weeks on end for example that if SC continued to play with Flint and El Abd then we'd go down and it was only after the former got injured and he was forced to change it that our form dramatically improved.

Indeed you could Kid, no problem with that, that's why I said such potential scrutiny of previous comments 'applies equally to all of us'. As I said, I've got no problem with strongly opinionated or outspoken comments, within reason, and those of us who feel strongly enough to put our heads above the parapets to give them, or to make enthusiastic predictions which could always go either way, are always likely to be proved wrong occasionally. Still not convinced by Skuse though, and Pitman will come good in the Championship, mark my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Im another who didnt vote originally, and i dont think i commented, but ill post what i had said to my dad when we spoke about it at the time -disappointed to see sod go, thought things were starting to turn around (slowly) -dont know much about cotterill -happy to give most managers all my backing (only a select few that i wouldnt have liked) Would have voted no strong feelings either wayLooking back on it, I thought it was another random roll of the dice from the board, which it might have been. No masterstroke to see here, please move along. I suspect I voted 'no strong feeling', my post was more sat on the fence than a finely balanced cat. I have consistently said and thought that the timing for Cotterill has been favourable. Even whilst we had that god awful side that got us relegated, my attitude was that until these ridiculous contracts are run down we are screwed. SOD was a scapegoat, in that respect. Cotterill's had a lovely clean canvass to work from. On a personal level, I actually like Cotterill. He's got spirit and soul, man. He's put a bit of spunk back into the club.....errrr ...... analogy gone a bit weird.......... withdraw from thread, withdraw from thread, withdraw from thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I really like cotts as a manager, my dad maintains that cotts best decision was going to Pompey as he was in a no lose situation due to the financial constraints and he still managed to stabilise them As said before i had no string feeling either way but i went to the first few games expecting the worst after listening to the 'experts' on here, not sure ive been happier to see a manager prove fans wrong My main concern re cotts now is because id like to see some stability in the club management wise eg Wenger and ferguson but im not convinced cotts will be that manager but I'll enjoy this while it lasts and thats just a personal issue and one that im sure many others arent too fussed aboutI laugh with my old man about this just showing how much fans know. But tbf, how much did the board really know? Like I say, I very much doubt that his appointment was part of any masterplan. What I like about Cotterill is his genuinity. He just seems to be going for it in the only way he thinks best. His enthusiasm and personality seems contagious, he doesn't seem to give a flying fxxk about image or what people think of him, rough around the edges or not. He's obviously got a bit of bollocks about him. He's like Johnson, only more sincere. Just hope he's more prudent and that he appreciates BCFC is bigger than he will ever be; that he's a servant, not a lord. Bill Shankley always had the priorities right, but I'm probably getting a bit carried away now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has certainly changed the side for the better. But as posted on another topic by "Myolman" http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-one/2013-2014/table/2013-10-19 This table is from a year ago, look at the two at the top back then, and look where they are playing this season But am convinced if S'OD had stayed in charge we would be in the basement by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperor Palpatine Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Good debating guys, bottom line neither of them have achieved anything with us yet - end of Absolutely this... we have won nothing on the grander scheme of things, best to reserve judgement till the end of the season.

BCFC Jordan Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 But am convinced if S'OD had stayed in charge we would be in the basement by now Really? We had lost one in eight at the time of his sacking. Things were beginning to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Really? We had lost one in eight at the time of his sacking. Things were beginning to improve. And in those 8 games a few of them were in the cup and we won something like 3 games, and don't forget that one loss was at home to Sheffield United, a contender for one of the worst games at Ashton gate in our history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Really? We had lost one in eight at the time of his sacking. Things were beginning to improve. Indeed. It wasn't amazing but things were beginning to turn around. I personally felt it was the wrong decision at the time. You can't knock what SC has done so far though it is early days. The squad assembled is very good and should be in the top two with Freeman, Agard and Korey as those are Championship standard players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Not to mention the one loss was because of an own goal, hardly comprehensively beaten - and thus it could easily have been eight games unbeaten. I was against SOD's sacking and only wish him well - he's now in a job that suits him to a great extent imo. I was also against Cotterill's appointment but the same can now be said of him. I didn't get carried away with what Cotterill did last season and said I'd judge him on this season. 12 games in and I can't have any complaints, let's just hope we can continue it in the next 34 games. I see no reason why we can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotterill was at the helm for his first game which was round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason why we can't. The whole thing was a disgrace, the boards backing of SOD saying its a long term project then a week later sacking him and the appointment of SC, not the appointment but the manner of how it was handled (although I was against it and thought the board rushed it). Clearly its worked out which is great and we are doing well but we haven't won nothing yet which is why its best to remain neutral and support the team. I still cant stand his interviews but now I just either put it on mute or ignore it altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
