Why am I reading on Twitter that Steve Cotterill has been interviewed? For what exactly?

Anyhow, if he got us up then Bruce would have served his purpose surely? He has done that twice in the last 3 seasons. Got to be worth a look.

Just. No. There must be better options available than this Walrus. I don't care so much about the blues connection either. He just looks like another Houllier waiting to happen and with our luck, it would be sooner rather than later. Please, can we just not fuck this next appointment up.

Steve Cotterill who got Bristol City promoted to the Championship and then got the sack after a few months in the Championship, if he is the best option then I honestly think we should just accept that we will never get back to the Premier League!

I have a number of problems with Steve Bruce, none of them Bordesley Green related.  I think the Villa job would kill him.  He looks every inch a leading contender for a cardiac arrest.  He is bloated and drinks immoderately. I wish him no ill will at all but we have all seen what the Villa job does to a man.  Remi Garde walked in looking like Yves Montand and staggered out three months later like Papillon escaping from Devil's Island.  Lambert arrived like Braveheart and left like Rab C Nesbitt the morning after a meths bender.  I just can't see Brucie collaring Gabby and telling him to sweat off the blubber.

My humble and respectful advice to Wyness if he wants Bruce is to send him to Charlie N'Zogbia's specialist for an MOT.
Made me laugh. I do worry what Wyness might look like when he leaves to be honest.

And was considering taking over at Newport County.

I mean seriously, if we appoint him Xia and Wyness are even more ridiculous in their recruitment as Randy was. Bad is not the word.

Please let all this talk about Ryan Giggs go away very quickly! 

Haven't we given enough wholly unqualified people their shot at glory at the expense of the club already?!

If it was Cotterill that would be it for me....we would be fast becoming a Leeds/Sheff Wed and go down again.

I've never really had a problem with Bruce during his managerial years, but I despised him as much as any Manure player that was there during the time he was. Actually ignore all that, it's that cringe-inducing Geordie-ism "Wor" he comes out with when he's interviewed that royally pisses me off. Bruce out!!  >:(

Of course Bruce would jump at the job, is as reported he still lives locally it is a no brainer for him.

Maybe he was a former international icon that our media somehow failed to tell us about?

Said this yesterday - go and get a top half premiership manager, or someone from abroad who has won top tier leagues. We need to be looking at someone not just to get us promoted, but once there, with a prayer of keeping us there.
