0114 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Proven they give managers time, they spend well but also sell when needed. Very similar job to what he took over at Brighton. Don’t be shocked if they’re in the PL in the next couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Apolon Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 There's a very simple reason why Bristol City look a more attractive proposition On and off the field they will appear to any manager as a project. Short, mid and long term goals and the right infrastructure in place. There is, unfortunately, no comparison as things currently are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential points deduction aside; are they really a much more attractive proposition than ourselves? Another opportunity missed? I know that Pearson has obvious links with the club but i feel that Hughton would be far more realistic for us. No vacancy and he didn't want us last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are happy to be a higher mid table championship side, flirting in and around the plays offs Every season they sell their best players Webster last summer, Brownhill in January. The manager is constantly having to rebuild Is someone like Hughton really going to be happy having to sacrifice his best players every transfer window. The Bristol job has been available for a good few weeks now. I would imagine that if Hughton was first choice he'd have his feet under the managers desk by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudge27 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Bristol City always seem to have a fair wedge of cash to spend, recently renovated stadium and down south. We have a potential points deduction, trimming the squad and have a manager too boot. Yes we are bigger traditionally but at this moment in time their isn't a great feeling around the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried for Hughton but he wasn’t interested. I’m sure word gets around about what it’s like to work for DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us apart, of course. i think it needs to be balanced out. Bristol City go too far one way and we go too far the other. Look at Leeds this year. They sell Jack Clarke for 10m but don't cash in on Kalvin Philips Only 3 ways to get promoted I think - spend a shed load of cash like Villa, employ a good manager like Leeds, Blades or Cardiff, final option is a bit of luck like Huddersfield If Brentford don't go up this season their squad will be decimated again and the manager will have to build from scratch again. There is no guarantee he will unearth players as good as Watkins, Benrahma etc. They will have cash in the bank and a nice new stadium but they will still potentially be playing Rotherham and Wycombe in championship games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club's in a right state in all aspects, so who in their right mind would want to come to this sheite fest at the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still checking his phone is working every hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
