Potential points deduction aside; are they really a much more attractive proposition than ourselves? Another opportunity missed?

latemodelchild Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Far more attractive than us due to current situation with court cases etc. Add in whatever managers know about how we're run, and they all know because they all talk, and Bristol probably looks like a safe bet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Houghton probably held out for a PL job, then realised no one was coming for him and is now happy to take a championship job. That said, until the EFL thing is decided I’m not sure managers like Houghton would take us on. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Geographically more appealing to a Southerner, they have money to spend, a decent owner...plus he's been unemployed for a year, so probably needs a job before he turns into Alan Curbishley (good manager by reputation, but never takes a job) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S63 Owl Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Sometimes easier to hold talks with new managers when the club doesn’t currently have a manager.... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bigdan2003 Posted July 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) I’m not sure Chansiri is that much of a deterrent for managers. He gave Bruce a month off, and gave Carlos & Jos about 6 months to save their jobs. He’s the most loyal chairman ever!

jonnyowl Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Listen to Grant Holt on Undr Cosh, doesn't rate Hughton. Says training was boring and too defensive. Thats probably why Brighton got rid of him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Pearson has obvious links with the club but i feel that Hughton would be far more realistic for us. I've been to every Bristol City away match that I can remember, except the game a couple of winters ago where I chickened out driving. They've grown in every sense of the word, investment in their stadium and facilities, they've grown their fan base to average just below us, and pre-Covid, Bristol is booming city with a lot going for it. Basically put, they're a club which has progressed huge amounts over the years, and appear to have an owner that wants to see that continue. I love Wednesday, but some days I get fed up with the same old tired old poo. Always looking back, never looking forward. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 If we are changing managers, then Pearson is a far better fit for us than Hughton. As for our chairman being a deterrent for anyone taking the job, I’m not sure. Yes he’s relatively new to football, so will be more prone to maybe making unwise decisions, but against that, he tries to give managers his backing, and I would say, is fairly loyal to them. It’s a bit of a mixed bag with DC, and probably why we are better off with a manager who is predominantly a coach, rather than a manager who wants control over everything. Not saying we wouldn’t benefit with a more hands on manager, but this is our situation, this is the owner we have, so why crave something that is unlikely to work. My hopes in wanting someone like Pearson, is that they could somehow meet in the middle. Fanciful, maybe, and that’s why we’d probably be better off with a manager/coach like Carlos, who just gets on with things, and works with what he is given 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
