    This is a bit scary if our board are wanting to appoint someone to work alonside the new manager themselves....
    The quote from SOD is

    "It is something we need to address pretty quickly," O'Driscoll said. "The board have people in mind that they think might be a good fit for Bristol City.

    He also went on to say
    "There are also people I know and people who I haven't worked with who have been recommended to me. So there are three avenues to go down.

    To take on someone who you've never worked with before is a big risk, and if it's down to the board and SOD gets no say in the choice, then that's frankly asking for trouble

    I hope he isn't another yes man and does what ever the board says. Should tell them "look im the head coach, I want to work with someone who I know, Not a total stranger that you want, Im the man with the coaching badges, You're all pencil pushers who try and balance the books. The assistant manager is my choice and mine alone. Let me go out and get who I want and accept it. Peace ****ers"

    As I said it's a slightly worrying statement.

    I therefore hope SOD has someone in mind himself. The last thing we need is the board forcing an assistance on the Manager that he might not want or even get on with.

    Is it that surprising? The board forced Millen on Coppell, so why wouldn't they do this to SOD?

    I guess there are several potential suitors to this role from our not606 board, and I will be putting together a comprehensive package tonight :1980_boogie_down:

    Tiger - fine in theory, but with the proviso that SOD has the final say

    In the same article (originally by Clubcall) Sporting Life Online have said much the same thing, but have included a picture of David James with the words

    O'Driscoll will be hoping David James in is form in the next few months

    FFS - How out of touch are they ?!

    'I fully expect Onefor and Redprint to be applying for these roles'

    ROD - Damning with faint praise is something you should be wary of.
    Or do you want me to say how accurate you were about McInnes last October/November.

    Looking back also at Prem's comments - they are equally accurate.

    If it's O'Kelly of Walsall joining O'Driscoll already on board we could be Bristol O'City

    Everyone likes a bit of O.............

    As long as S O'D gets the man he wants I don't care how he arrives at the choice.
