Nailsworth. Population 5,662. Sleepy little place in the Cotswolds and hotbed of footballing passion and excellence for decades. It's another Rushden & Diamonds waiting to happen as soon as the owner gets tired of his hobby. I notice he has already grown tired of the Just Stop Oil nutters he previously sponsored. Hardly a fair comparison, more comparable with Harrogate Town Forest Green founded in Nailsworth 1887 currently in league 2 (still in Nailsworth) Rushton and Diamond founded 1992 folded 2011 never even played in Rushton. |

He's going to keep them up isn't he Of course he will… it’s Steve Cotterill! It’s what he does. I hope he does what he does too ;-) 10 games to go in his last 3 seasons, the last 10 games of those seasons have earned him 22 points out of 90 pro rata 33 points |

Phil Brown is doing the same kind of thing at Kidderminster, he may keep them up. Kidderminster were in a worse position than FGR when he was appointed. Yes I know different league but I feel its relative I don’t mind Kidderminster as a club. Always friendly welcome, decent stadium and away day and the food is probably the best I’ve had within a football stadium. However, Tango Man (Phil Brown), sounds like one of the biggest bellends you could come across in football judging by Jon Parkin on Undr The Cosh. Hope he gets relegated. |

In other news a landmark day for the illustrious leader, he has another follower of his wild conspiracy theories making a grand total of two 🎉 I do get your drift and not everything I like about SC but I think the fact remains, he picked the team up from almost rock bottom and turned them into a top half club, battled serious illness and then got knifed in the back at the end, so I'm guessing some (me included) have respect and time for him. He was also the guy who built the bridge back to the supporters, something that Hurst isn't particularly good at. I think of Cotterill as Garry Peters on steroids. but on to all things Exeter now, until of course I glance at the half times tomorrow night. |

Tend to agree with aspects of that, although I wasn't a fan of Peters and his seven full backs! Hurst gets the fans on side for me, he's given us some fight, application and a few goals to boot! |

Agree with you Martinshrew - and yes I know what you mean about the myriad of full backs.
I warmed to the passionate Cotterill over time, Hurst is a little too polished and calculated although I think he's slightly humbled second time around. Hurst seems more Stick than Carrot to the players but perhaps that's what they really need now.

According to his interview at FG he chose to leave and abandoned us, not the other way round. |

Will always admire and respect Cotterill for the job he did here but accept that he wasn’t perfect, and that other people dislike him.
Nothing wrong with tracking his progress and wishing him well though, not everything has to be a childish wind-up just because some have an alternative view. Also note there are posts on here when Forest Green lose too!

Strange take considering 15 different posters contributed on page 11 of this thread alone... he was our most recent manager and has caused no end of rumour and controversy, hardly surprising folk are still interested in the goings on that involve him |

[quote author=" davycrockett" source="/post/1723278/thread" timestamp="1710162691" “Trying to get a reaction? To anyone whose a bit confused Martin and a few others are just trying to wind Pilch up with there sudden love affair with FGR. Childish I know but no rules broken.” [/quote] That’s a bit harsh. I would have thought a recently departed mangers performance in his new employment to be a perfectly legitimate topic of debate. I hear that Ricketts efficiency drive and long term strategy has increased the sales of plasterboard exponentially in the North West construction trade. The fact that someone with a clear problem with others being less subservient to the clubs obvious narrative is a matter for themselves only. My view is that Cotterill is the best manager this club has had in a generation and I wish him well in his current employment |

Dinosaur, bully, control freak, one dimensional football, anti-football, conned the CEO/Chairman, put the club at risk with his spending
Got instant results with a terrible team, continued to work from his hospital bed, got us organised & fit, attracted proven players, created a great team spirit, got a respectable finish
Now some people will pick 'a side' and their view of the man is based on either the top list of items or the bottom. Personally, I think there are elements from either list which are true, that makes him such a divisive character.
If we knew for certain what went on then perhaps there would be more anger aimed in his direction. But we don't.

Surely if you're not interested in Cotterill or FGR, maybe don't open the thread?
The clue is in the title. I wouldn't open "all things golf" for example, because I'm not interested in golf.

⚓ - proof if you ever needed it that an alternative view simply isn't allowed on B&A.
Absolutely unforgivable and unfathomable that you cannot discuss your ex managers performance at his new club.

The fact that he has 11 pages of a thread shows that he did at least create some kind of impression.
Knifed in the back, by meaning the Micky Moore appointment and the goings on before the Bristol Rovers game and Lincoln away. I sensed that Steve let his emotions get the better of him at times, he may have been too honest.
Think as a club we are lucky to have had Hurst twice and Cotterill.

I see Boardroom&Amber is alive and well.
A perfectly legitimate and well contributed to - and on- going thread, censored for no reason.
If only I had a ball to take home I would be doing it right now.

Boring football, allegations, abrasive personality, how different would it have been had we achieved a play off place?
If he did manage to keep FGR up, then there won't be many such comments. Dale Vince won't be checking the expenses too closely either.

Still can't fathom why the new years advice is being ignored, if you don't like something, disagree and move on. If you don't like Cotterill, probably not best to click on the Cotterill thread. Same with cricket, politics and the inevitable Cheltenham thread if you don't like betting on horses! |

The thread has not been locked so that's not stopping continued posts on this topic. Though it will disappear? So it's basically the same thing. Another Cotterill thread will start anyway to track an ex managers progress, as will a Ricketts & Taylor thread once they get jobs. |
