Steve Cotterill

Be at Portsmouth by christmas calling it now

 

[chopsfc007]

He's done a decent job wherever he's been (apart from SAFC where he was under Sgt Wilko obvs).

Maybe he wanted Shrews to kick on from a decent last season and the club weren't up for it...

Apart from stoke and Birmingham and others

Create a vacancy for Philips to look at?

Feels like he did a good job with Shields and left to look for something bigger, might be a good next rung for him.

A lot of people assumed he'd get the Walsall job but they've gone down the ex-player route with Matt Sadler. (They've also gone down the manager's surname about as close as you can get to the club nickname route.)

Left Shrewsbury Town, statement doesn't say a lot , maybe a falling out ?

A statement from our chairman

A statement from our Chairman, Roland Wycherley MBE following the departure of manager Steve Cotterill.

Well they can hardly
Say

“Fuck off you complete tit.”

Does he still scribble on scraps of paper? He was out of his depth as Wilko's lapdog, but so was Wilko as Sunderland's manager.

He's done ok at a fair few of his clubs, and a good job at Shrewsbury. The Chairman's statement is implying something so damning Cotterill won't ever work again. I suspect it's nowt of the sort.

Theyve just brought in a new Director of Football from Cheltenham Town, he obviously wants a hands on job.

Reckon that's got a lot to do with it.

From Jeff Stellings twitter feed:
"Jeff....he walked. Fell out with the Chairman. He wasnt sacked...new football board and direction means he isnt compatible with the vision moving forward."

If Charlton Athletic were to appoint Mark Robins…

 

[cluffy]

They really fell away last season but I suppose they’re doing ok, unlikely they’ll ever do that much better

I remember @Father Jack Hackett getting all excited about Steve because he'd done all his badges.

A very qualified man

 

[BumbleBee]

I remember he was an up and coming talent....and along with Wilko at the time...what could go wrong

That was a bloody long time ago and he's been employed since so from his point he's probably done very well for himself.

off to Shields

When SKP left South Shields I thought he must have his next job lined up. Took him years to get started as a manager but he will quickly be forgotten if he does not find another gig soon.

Made Aiden O'Brien their big money (in wages at least) summer signing. Played about 5 games for less than 90 mins scoring 0 goals, farmed out to Gillingham at the bottom of league 2 on loan, scored 2 goals in 14 games, and likely won't play for Shrewsbury again.

They probably have Flanagan on decent money too. Can see the purse strings being tightened.
