COTERILL ON HIS WAY?

QPR MOVE FOR COTTERILL TO BOUNCE STRAIGHT BACK "Queens Park Rangers are ready to hand Steve Cotterill, the current Bristol City manager, a £10m incentive to leave the Westcountry and return to Loftus Road, IF current caretaker boss Chris Ramsey fails to keep the R's in the Premier League.

A club insider has told us that owner Tony Fernandes was impressed with Cotterill when he had an eleven-month spell as a coach under then boss Harry Redknapp, and the Cheltenham-born manager's stock has risen ever since with a hugely successful spell at Ashton Gate.

Cotterill came in with the Robins bottom of League One in December 2013, but led them to safety comfortably, and has followed that up in spectacular style this season.

Cotterill's side, who won the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in front of over 72,000 fans at Wembley last month, are currently ten points clear at the top of League One and are odds-on favourites to clinch the title and gain promotion to the Championship,

a club insider -right ok, pass the salt I need a pinch.

 

april fools

 

Did you actually believe that... Exiled robin used to post on here.

 

Be careful what you April Fool for.

 

Is this April fool day

 

Just chill lads

 

It may well be an April Fools joke right now. However I wouldn't be too surprised to see real rumours like this in the close season!!

 

Thats what you should have done when you read that!

 

Absolutely . There is no reason why we entertain speculation about our best players yet don't consider someone might want our manager as well. How many people thought Pulis was useless. Please no comments that he had to be as he was a gas head

 

Of course there will be rumours
We have a hot property in our midst

However, Cotterill is not stupid, has not always been successful (meaning he has the motivation), has the total confidence (I presume) and financial clout of the board, and the full support and gratitude (generally) of the people who matter - the fans.

That is a package that could take him anywhere he wishes to go, and the challenges before him are still mountainous.
Why would he want to move ?

 

You have inadvertently answered your own question as to why Holloway would be an impossible appointment at this club, even at his zenith when he was doing quite well he would have just not have been welcome.

Pulis managerial record speaks for itself (apart from us) and that was for the very same reason.

Gas heads.. no thanks, it just doesn't work.

 

Presumably the same reason as all players....money. A football manager is one of the few jobs in which you can guarantee being sacked at some stage
