Danny Wilson opens up on Bristol City sacking, leaving Lita out and apparent drinking culture Danny Wilson spent four seasons in charge of the Robins as he speaks about his time in BS3 ahead of the launch of his autobiography https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-danny-wilson-sacking-7673517 please log in to view this image Danny on Lansdown ~ "I couldn't believe I was being sacked over the phone! I felt it was a bit crass, cowardly even, particularly after the positive meeting we'd had just days earlier." Danny on Scotty ~ "He was unplayable at times. A terrific, terrific player. Very energetic and one of the best to work within football over the years. He scored 19 (league) goals that season and that's not including assists." Danny On City ~ "Scotty Murray went to Reading and we had to replace players who had done very well and more importantly, scored goals. One or two of the lads who were banging them in left, right and centre were not there anymore. Danny on the fans ~ "Incredible," Wilson said as he reminisces. "The fans were absolutely brilliant and they helped us get that late winner. We were in the game, out of it, in the game and then out of it again and we just kept plugging away. Danny today ~ Wilson still follows City's progress closely as his former Sheffield Wednesday captain Nigel Pearson aims to become the first manager to steer them to the promised land
Over the years 3 selection cock ups stand out for me. 1.Not playing Lita in the Brighton final was almost criminal. 2. Just as bad was the p\o semi 2nd leg against Cardiff the year before. We were 1 down from the first leg away and he chose Matt Hill at LB leaving Mickey Bell on the bench for the 2nd leg. 3. And the worst - didn't involve Danny Wilson.
