Ric Flair Posted 30 January 2006 Share Posted 30 January 2006 Hearts did the same with Levein, it's only a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 30 January 2006 Share Posted 30 January 2006 Acting like they want rid of him isn't gonna help them in the compensation stakes, should we ultimately hire him. Canny move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 30 January 2006 Share Posted 30 January 2006 As a matter of interest, what happens now? Does Cotterill walk out on Burnley and talk to Leicester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 30 January 2006 Share Posted 30 January 2006 As a matter of interest, what happens now? Does Cotterill walk out on Burnley and talk to Leicester? He has options. He can sit tight and keep making noises about being unhappy. The interest from Leicester gives him a few extra bargaining chips in his feud with the board over transfer funds being made available following the sale of Ade. Or.. He can simply resign and speak to us, if he really wants the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 30 January 2006 Author Share Posted 30 January 2006 As a matter of interest, what happens now? Does Cotterill walk out on Burnley and talk to Leicester? Yes, then the FA will probably fine us if we didn't compensate Burnley in some way. Sam Allerdyce Left notts county to go to bolton and they got fined 250k I believe. (FA kept the money, county got nothing) Not sure if there are any new rules though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr The Singh Posted 30 January 2006 Share Posted 30 January 2006 This complicates matters and will delay the signing IF Cotterill want sthe city job!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can simply resign and speak to us, if he really wants the job. Whatever happens we are going to owe Burnely some serious money if we get him. I herd he was extremly pissed off they sold Addy to start off with. I think he even said somthing along the lines of " one day I would like job where I can control the ins and outs of players " which is probabley what Tim Davies will give him. If I remember rightly Levein had alot of power and it was him that allowed Conolly to go. Us being refused permision to talk to him might piss Cotterill of even more, I don't see him walking out though. If we wants the job he will ask to talk to us and Burnley will give way, if he doesn't this will be the last we hear of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't afford to do that, the FA are just waiting for a chance to sting this club and they'd probably make us pay a million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in Burnleys interest to accept something, otherwise they get 0 and the FA get the money from the fine. If what i read is to be believed, seemed sound enough though.

Ric Flair Posted 30 January 2006 Share Posted 30 January 2006 I hope this doesn't put the club off going for Cotterill now though. We need to get a new manager in asap and a hold up here isn't going to help. I personally think Cotterill will demand a chance to atleast talk to us. He's got previous for walking out on a club.

Remember he may not be interested. If he had any sense he wouldn't be interested but for some reason managers and players alike seem to think this club is a prestigious place. I just hope that if Cotterill doesn't come, that the board don't panic and give it to someone offering their services such as Reid or Gregory.

They wont until they're confident he will walk otherwise. Remember he may not be interested. as I said, if he wants the job, it wont get to the stage where he has to walk out. The Burnley board are money grabbing coonts, If they think he's likely to resign they will change their minds and drive him down to Leicester themselves. I very much doubt he's that intrested though unless he's really annoyed with the Burnley board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them panicing Very true, our board are actually thinking about this. The fact where going for Cotterill makes me feel alot more postive about the situation wheather we get him or not. If we haven't got a new manager by the Wolves game I think they may start to panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polyphonic Posted 30 January 2006 Share Posted 30 January 2006 This is all part of the management stealing process, Leicester and Cotterill have agreed something, Leicester have made an approach, Burnley say no, we want lots of money, Leicester offer money, Cotterill joins Leicester... He'll be manager by the end of the week !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be manager by the end of the week !! You'd certainly think if he wasn't interested he would have come out and said so. But I guess he could be using it as a stick to beat the Burnley board with, in an attempt to get some more cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering the time factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 30 January 2006 Share Posted 30 January 2006 Leicester might consider both Cotterill and Thordarson to be what they want and take the cheaper, simpler option with the Icelander. Thordarson to me spells defeat though. It's as if the club have looked at the situation and thought, well Thordarson will cost us hardly anything and he's also got a good record in League One with Stoke so we'll go for him as he might get us promoted back to the championship next season. **** that, we need someone who will cause a positive reaction from the players straight away. Cotterill is more equipped than Gudjon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotterill is more equipped than Gudjon. Why do you like him so much? There seems a decent groundswell of support for Cotterill generally which just makes me want someone, anyone to explain why anyone would wish the sort of football Cotterill has promoted at Burnley to be foisted on City? Hasn't such football been seen to f..k us up enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
