Cruyff Turn Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Steve Cotterills records a bit hit and miss but I suppose it depends on the position of the club he was at during that time. Massive massive experience though and he’s won 3 league titles, 2 cups, 2 other promotions through the play offs and as a runner up in the league. Albiet at lower level. Definitely one to consider.

jamboinglasgow Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Is he any good? Found this article which gives more depth about him (and reasons why looking at win percentages doesn't tell the full story.) https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-cotterill-new-birmingham-manager-12967633 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn’t be the worst by an absolute distance. He’d probably be pretty decent. File alongside Nigel Adkins in the mibbies.

Hampden Demolition Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Quite worrying if we are interviewing managers of the standard of McCall and Cotterill.
