OldNick Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Iam forwarding what i heard last night in Bournemouth. The information has come from someone having no connection with anybody at SFC but someone who is connected in football circles. This will only happen if one particular consortium gets the club and so they have to win the bidding for this to happen. He has been mentioned loads of times on here and seen at the club for months now.He lives in Christchurch . Steve Cotterill. Dont shoot the messenger. Iam very confident of the person who told me and has no need to lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 If this consortium has been readying it's bid for the club for some time, it would explain why Cotterill has been at almost all of our home games in recent months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madsent Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Cotterill was sacked by Burnley despite a good start. Mixed record, unsure about him. Could do worse though. Didn't Burnley go something like 20 games without a win with him as manager ? That kind of run would cost most managers their jobs. Just ask Chris Nicholl.

Even if he gets Exeter promoted I'd be willing to bet that he'd take the Saints job if offered it. As was posted the other day, with all due respect to Exeter, a Southampton with new owners/money in league 1 are a better & bigger prospect than Exeter in the same league.

Good shout, I'd add him to the list. Team Bath are the university side so he'll have plenty of experience dealing with the youngsters. Nice to see Jim Gannon in the Sky list. He's done very well on a budget of next to nothing. If not those two and an outsider, Stuart Baxter is looking for a challenge in nglish football.

He has proved himself at the lower leagues. Paul Ince is a t*sser! I'd rather have Jamie Redknapp. In fact, you do wonder when Harry speaks out (fair play to him) is he grooming him for football management?! Coppell wouldn't come to us I doubt, Cotterill wouldn't be a bad choice. We have to remember, it's League One, physical brute season 2010. Maybe we should bring back Sir Clive who could attract some big rugby players?!

He was with someone (don't know who) and stayed there during half time (most retreat into the hospitality area). Are you talking about Cotterill or Coppell? If Cotterill it could be because he was previously manager of Burnley, the away team I've been advocating Cotterill for a long time now (while Burley was still here), his local connections and his abilities in the League (as opposed to the Prem) are well documented. Is probably about the best realistic option unless we have loads of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 if we have a flashy new chairman with money lets go bold and get in Alan Irvine, especially if Preston dont make the playoffs. Can't see us poaching anyone from a higher division. An ex Premiership or Championship manager that has been out of work for a while, possibly but not one currently in employment. If we were to poach a manager, they would, at best, be in the same division or lower. I think Tisdale would probably do a decent job but I also wonder whether he has the profile to attract decent players here or get the respect of the ones already here, who stay. On another thread I mentioned Ronnie Moore and I would still like to see someone of his ilk brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
