Feel like replying with 'Ricketts out' on every thread just to reel the same fish in. You know, just for the giggles.
We are lucky to have Cotts. I want his babies. Until he goes on a losing streak in his 3rd season in charge and we are still in L1. Then it's Cotts out and he can keep the kids.

Come on, people - am I the only person who thinks that this whole Ricketts discussion has been done to death? No amount of assertion nor quoting of statistics will change the past;although we are all entitled to our perception of that past, I see no benefit in prolonging this redundant argument. If nothing else, the new managerial team should by now having us all looking forward with a degree of confidence, and long may this state of mind continue. Onwards and upwards..... move on! Why would we remove an ex manager from our history and not mention/discuss him? Doesn’t do any harm, the only person that bites is Pilch and were pretty much used to that now. Come to think it would be interesting to compare SC’s first 13 games with Hursts. Very similar position when they both arrived and an instant turn around in both cases. Hurst's 1st 13 games with us - W5 D3 L5.

Can the forum historians tell us if there was a similar clamour to airbrush John Askey from every thread in the latter half of the 2018/19 season?
Clearly, his name organically came up on a range of topics given he’d left the managerial role earlier that season. Did that also constitute a witch-hunt?

Can Exkeeper change title to The Cotterill/Wilbraham effect now?

Can Exkeeper change title to The Cotterill/Wilbraham effect now? Maybe change it to ‘The effect of sacking Ricketts’?

Did that also constitute a witch-hunt? there wasnt really a 2 year hate campaign to get him out, and he was hardly mentioned in comparison after he left, i dont think any of us were happy with askey, but the first sign of booing and he was gone, it was hard to judge him as he never said anything, at least ricketts had plans, they might not have worked but at least he spoke

Especially when the replacement had no credentials to make him a popular choice and who’s start was very similar, poor! Not Ricketts fault that Askey was sacked but not Roland and Brian’s finest hour. Anyway just shows the benefit of employing an experienced manager, just wonder what we’d have saved without the Askey and Ricketts experiment and subsequent pay offs.

Can Exkeeper change title to The Cotterill/Wilbraham effect now? Possibly, but the original post mentioned SC AND his management team. Albie and Dave are doing a brilliant job, but are themselves benefitting from the Cotterill effect, as every decision they make is being guided by SC via mobile phone.

To be fair to RW and BC, Steve Cotterill had been approached on more than one occasion in the past and if he had alerted them to his availability, a succession of our previous managers may never have been appointed.

And didn’t he turn them down because he had given his word to another club that he would go there only for that club to be taken over and the deal fell through? If so, he sounds like my sort of bloke. Gives his word and sticks to it as best he can.
