    Cracking quote from "a bemused" Steve Evans the Rotherham manager:

    "Wow - you turn down Leeds United and drop a league to go to Bristol City. That's no disrespect to Bristol City, they're a wonderful football club, but I am surprised.

    I find it surprising that you would turn down a household, worldwide name in Leeds United and go to Bristol City.

    You can go to the wildest place in Africa and when someone says Leeds, people know Leeds United, don't they?"


    Yes, we're clearly not famous anymore - maybe .... be interesting to see where Agard is in two years' time, especially if Bristol stay in Lge One

    Step forward Steve Evans, you may well be considered a replacement for Hock with those wise words

    If you were a footballer, would you want to be managed by Dave Hockawally or Steve Cotterill?

    I think there's probably also a lot of big fish small pond about it. I would imagine he has been assured of having a crucial team shaping role at Bristol. Something which he probably wasn't offered at Leeds.

    Cotterel was touted around by Howard Wilkinson as being the next great thing in coaching ..... 5-years ago. I only see his teams failing and relegation fights. So that tells us something about coaches being managers and how it usually ends in tears.

    Agard is obviously a greedy cockend and likes cash above career
