Not saying solely down to his predecessor but got a bit lucky timing wise with some probably. Pereira, Evans, Maddison- then Tielemans on loan, none were Rodgers signings. Vardy of course was signed by a certain City manager. Schmeichel too. Edited September 5, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Gary Johnson took Yeovil from the Conference to league 1 in 4 seasons. He then took City into the championship and to within 90 minutes of the prem in his first 2 full seasons. ( something his apparently more illustrious predecessor DW failed to do) On his return to Yeovil he took them into the championship. In between he "called out" Robbored in his office. I think that qualifies him as a "proper manager". The championship play off final season a perfect demonstration of a manager making a team greater than the sum of it's parts and it's a shame that for many he will be remembered more for the manner of his departure than the peak of his time here. 11 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) It's Robbored being Robbored but I'll partake a little. Wilson Think he had a good record at Barnsley, with good football and bit unlucky in PL. However with us yes, some good and bad things and yeah decent football but ultimately didn't achieve the main objective. Parker 2 luxurious squads for the level, 2 promotions. Fulham especially it should been achieved with more ease. His PL season with Fulham arguably was a bit of a free hit due to Covid but his was his first real test I believe- he bombed. Can he turn it round career wise? Course he can, still a pretty young manager but his attitude was all wrong and that surely had an effect on their team etc. Johnson Took over a side in a mess on and off the pitch at the bottom of the 3rd tier and within 2 yesrs or so had us TOP or near the top of the Championship! Winning at sides like Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich, Coventry, Watford by Christmas in our 1st season at that level in the decade, since 1998-99. Plus two memorable Cup runs in the promotion season, 3-3 followed by win at Coventry and then the 2-2 draws v PREMIER LEAGUE Middlesbrough, including the fantastic Murray goal in the comeback at Ashton Gate. Forged in adversity too in some ways, what with a bad start to 2006-07 which also included a) Fight on the pitch between Carey and Orr was it, still won at Northampton though didn't we from a goal down and then jailing of a few players in late August 2006. We went from strength to strength following that week. Possibly had we strengthened more in January 2008 we complete the job thay season , just a shade over 2 years (Feb 2006) thay we were in the relegation zone of League One we were top of the Championship without a huge outlay. Rode our luck on the road especially but thought we had some pretty good and positive home displays also early season. Sheffield United under the lights was one with Noble behind a striker, PL the prior year. Stoke at home was another good one, as well as other lower key ones in August and September where we certainly weren't overawed. The Palace game at home fantastic. Cotterill Again like GJ in some ways. While not the off field issues, also more expansive football and bottom end League 1. Some excellent Cup runs in 2014-15 too, 99 pts and 90 odd goals was it in the League alone, we did the double (for its level). Should have beaten West Ham in the Cup too, seem to recall some big chances as we dominated the 1st half. Where I was a bit disappointed in Cotts was I do think he could have been more pragmatic for year 1 circs, especially as wait just a year to try and steady us whatever and there is a major rise in revenue that he should have at his disposal. Once the redevelopment was complete our revenue, and therefore spending power shot up. He would all things being equal have had the budget of LJ. (Granted would we have had the same huge player sales- all counterfactual). Edited September 5, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially, although that's an 'Addition' to the Balance Sheet. Once constructed it hits the Balance Sheet although the annual Depreciation goes through Profit and Loss and would indeed add to losses but is correctly excluded from FFP. That's traditional treatment anyway, good point maybe they've somehow included construction costs annually or such in Profit and Loss.

It's a shame we you didn't enjoy when we won League One by 99 points, and the cup that season. Weird how instead you enjoyed our team losing to Brighton in the play off final? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReds Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I've read some shite on here, but you are only a proper manager if you take a club up from the Championship must be bang up there at the top? The huge majority of managers in the 4 English Leagues would probably have got Fulham or Bournemouth promoted last season. How desperate can one person be to get some attention on here. Then again, how much better are we replying to such nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
