Bet you said the same about DC at the time. no cause we couldn’t get any sh**ter then,worried about getting back up again if we go down We had a slice of luck in both promotions,lightening doesn’t strike twice Slice of luck? Where's the dislike button? One of the most ridiculous and idiotic things I've read on here recently. |

I guess appointing a new manager will go one of 3 ways. We either appoint from within and that could mean Coughlan or my preference Chris Hargreaves if we go that way. We could go for the tried and tested way that we went in the noughties by going for someone who’s available, in other words someone who’s been sacked and a fully paid up member of the managers merry-go-round. Or we could go for a younger manager who’s lower down in league 2 or the National league who’s trying to create a career for himself.
I would prefer the latter option and think there are good managers lower down who are used to working with smaller budgets but may have good contacts. Whoever is chosen I hope will come with a pedigree of playing good football, use the loan market well and may have friends in high places and can will give younger players a real chance and opportunity in the team if players are not performing and they are good enough.
And whichever route the owners take comes with no guarantees, they will all fail eventually but might give us a few years of success before they get the order of the boot. 1974, 1990, 2007, 2014 and 2015 promotions came with younger, hungry managers at the start of their careers.
UTG!

Guess your discounting an unlucky relegation to the conference? |

Sad thing is whoever we end up with will most likely be a journeyman (or yes man). All well and good mentioning names like Warburton but look at the clubs he’s been at... Why the f**k would any manager worth their salt come to us. We literally are going to end up like DC said in his last few interviews, a yo-yo club between leagues 2 and 1. Why would any decent manager want to restrict themselves to that? Especially given our infrastructure, even clubs like Fleetwood (much in the same boat as us level wise, as painful as that is) have a much nicer stadium and training ground. Clubs like Mansfield are building, Swindon, the list is endless. We are in real trouble unless some improvements happen off the pitch never mind on it. Warburton was a total disaster at glasgow rangers and nottm forest so i hope its not him. |

Flynn now down to 6/4 odds, although could just due to just a few Rovers fans betting taking a punt on him after seeing him mentioned on here etc. I can't see why Cowley would leave Lincoln, they've a similar size ground and have just spent £1m+ on a training ground plus look odds on to get promoted. Don't Lincoln play awful hoof ball anyway? Lincoln have played some decent stuff when I've seen them, but he won't be coming here for some of the reasons you mention. If you want long ball football Cotterill is your man. I have never had a problem with direct football myself,neil warnock has 8 promotions with that style albeit his teams usually have very good wide players. With cotterill he did a great at cheltenham and i have never known a bristol team dominate a division like city did when they won league one under him. Some people like barcelona tippy tappy but i prefer the liverpool style of early chance taking passes to fast forwards at the highest level. At our level i would love to see us get the ball up front early and play around it,especially if we followed the warnock pattern and used width to good effect. |

At our level i would love to see us get the ball up front early and play around it,especially if we followed the warnock pattern and used width to good effect. I don't particularly have a problem with 'direct' football if it is applied in a certain way, your Liverpool point is what I mean by that. I would call that 'direct' rather than 'long ball'. The Bergkamp goal for the Netherlands against Argentina in the 98 World was one of the most direct goals you will ever see, but at the same time one of the best and classiest goals you could find. Some of Warnock sides have often played quite direct, but also progressive football with wingers as you have said. I think he has sometimes got unfairly tagged as a long ball merchant and it's an easy and lazy tag to label him with. His results and success speak for themselves. I like a combination of so called 'tippy tappy' and a more 'direct' approach where needed. It's about finding the right balance for me. As for Cotterill his success at Cheltenham was over 16 years ago and his Bristol City side included breaking their transfer record at the time to sign Agard (about 800k) and spending 500k on Luke Freeman. There were other significant deals too. I'm not as against his appointment as some, but he wouldn't be my choice. |

If you want someone that can work miracles with a shoestring budget, I'd be looking at John Coleman from Accrington.
Doubt he would would leave Stanley, but you never know

The board really have no idea if they think Cotterill would be successful here. The fans would be on his back immediately in fact anyone following DC has a tough job on their hands. Best option in my opinion is someone successful in non league who can bring in players from that background, a bit like how DC began with us.
But just like Brexit it's a right bloody mess.

You're not serious are you? More non league players for this level of football. |

No budget what else can we do? Plus more chance of recruiting someone who is ambitious to play at a higher level than someone who doesn't fancy going sideways to a bottom 4 team. And loanees from a higher level is not the solution as they just push off at the end of the campaign.
