Really do believe that serious thought should be given to getting in a caretaker manager to take care of day to day management in order that Wilbraham can concentrate on team matters and so give SC confidence that we can do without him in the short term and he can concentrate on a full recovery. There is a lot to managing a football club. Getting SC back to full fitness for the start of next season has to be the priority and to that end he should be putting the club to the back of his mind for the next few months.

Really feel for him and of course hope he's well again soon. I know everyone means well and no criticism is intended, but I don't think we're in a position to say he's been overdoing it. Can't we just leave it to him, his family and his medical support? No I don’t think we can. All employers have a duty of care to their employees and that would include when it’s safe to come back to work after an serious illness. I worked for a major company and would have needed a doctor to say I was fit to go back. A back to work interview, support and gradual return. I’d agree we don’t know if he’s overdoing it but I don’t think ‘the patient’ or his family are in a position to decide. Work a holics would always come back too early.... as some would delay and play the system. Return to work when your doctor says your fit to work. Just hope he gets better soon OK, that's fair enough, I left his employer off my list. But we fans aren't his employer and that's what I was meaning.

Blimey, that's not a good read at all is it. Wish him all the best in his recovery. Hope he's back home again soon.

Most of which is about Cotterill.

If the reported diagnosis is correct then it seems odd that this has happened some weeks after the initial infections rather than as part of that.

Most of which is about Cotterill. AW talks more about it as an annoyance and inconvenience rather than any cause for alarm, he no doubt knows far more about the situation than any of us so hopefully it is just a short time in hospital and a minor set back on the long road to recovery.

From what Aaron said in that interview, it's clear that SC hasn't put away his phone.
They've been discussing tactics for the Wimbledon game.

That's why we probably shouldn't bring in a caretaker manager - SC would still be on the phone, with AW, they have known each other for years, I'm sure he can trust AW. Unless any other caretaker manager was someone SC had known for years then I don't think it would work.

Any sort of temporary manager would absolutely require Cotterill’s initial involvement if it was going to be anything like successful, and that’s probably more arduous on him than getting daily updates on ‘business as usual’.

Unless any other caretaker manager was someone SC had known for years then I don't think it would work. But he should be taking it easy bed rest, just pay him for the rest of the season and tell him to come back if and when he is ready, come July. Extra stress on the body when he is recovering is not what he needs, human life is more important than work that's something i have learnt in the last 12 months To be honest I thought he's the type of manager who would of popped down the road at 1/2 time to give a team talk at BR, he just needs to look after himself.

When Steve was in hospital BC said in his interview that SC had continued to be fully involved in the January pick list, but when he was discharged from hospital he was to take a step back until he was fully fit and well again. Why did BC not ensure this sick leave was taken and SC given the time to rest and recuperate. This disease is serious. Let’s all hope that he will come through this for himself and his family and that we can welcome him back to the ground next season.

I think he should be made to rest keep away from everything, and get himself better.
Banned from doing any team talks, tactics etc.
Have we not a duty of care for him?

I’m sure we have but getting him to take any notice is quite another thing I suspect. I would think he is one of the worst patients ever.

Not good, but hopefully the last hurdle on his road to proper recovery.
Brian seems a decent bloke, I can’t imagine for a second he isn’t telling Cotterill to take time off. I’m sure the doctor is too. But you can’t physically stop a man picking up his phone, and I reckon this man is more stubborn than most!
Get well soon SC.

I appreciate that people have been talking about SC just taking it easy now and leaving things to Wilbraham but it is encouraging that he still wants to be apart of things and feels that he is up to it.

And in one way this is the worrying thing. Is it better to absolutely insist that he steps back to recover and risk him getting even more agitated which wouldn’t be good for him or let him carry on as he is which may well slow down his recovery? in reality all we can hooe for is that he has an excellent doctor who will weigh things up and then advise him and hope that he needs the advice whatever it may be.

I'm not sure how it works to be honest, what it takes out of him. But as I mentioned before; it wouldn't surprise me at all if he feels that having something to do, something to keep his mind active, having something to take his mind of his current predicament, might well help him with his recovery.👍

Gutted for him, I was half expecting him to make an appearance at Bristol Rovers on Saturday with it being local to him but now know why he wasn’t there. Think he really needs to let Aaron and Dave do all the work for him now and he really needs to focus on getting better and nothing else, I certainly don’t expect him to return before the end of the season now. Yes, I wondered if the team were half expecting him to make an appearance at Bristol Rovers on Saturday. We all know why now and there might be a this ones for you, get well soon, manager bounce tonight.

He needs to take a complete break from his responsibilities at Shrewsbury Town. It's all been admirable in a way trying to carry on but the guy is - basically - fighting for his life. Pneumonia now but if he doesn't respond quickly to the array of antibiotics he's being given then there could be massive complications. I read earlier today that 50% of people with severe COVID (i.e. requiring treatment in an ICU) have heart damage. He must rescale his priorities and Shrewsbury Town needs to be somewhere near the bottom.

Just thought I should join your happy forum, please excuse the incursion, to wish Cott's all the best from Bristol. He is extremely highly thought of by the supporters of BCFC, pretty much legendary status so all possible good wishes from all the supporters of Bristol City. Look after him and maybe, one day, we can let him know just how highly thought of he is on the pitch at the Gate when he comes to BS3 with yourselves.
