It was the best thing he ever did for us in his short and unspectacular stint as manager. His departure paved the way for a certain fellow in a cap... and the rest is history! I'm convinced we would have gone back to League 1 if Quiterill had stayed.

I'm convinced we would have gone back to League 1 if Quiterill had stayed. Good point. George Burley also thinned out in time to pave the way to TP too. Looking back we also got Lou Macari because of some dispute with he had with the Kumar brothers at Birmingham. You get the impression the Coates best appointments were by luck.

A 'Where were you?' moment right up there with the death of Elvis and the Twin Towers. (And yes, Elvis is dead!)
I was on the A217 going up Reigate Hill in Surrey when news broke on the radio.

I'm fairly sure Lou was our third choice, but we got turned down by the first two. I doubt any manager could have left a bigger, more positive mark than Lou did, so we all got very lucky there.

I can remember the Elvis and Twin Tower moments, but can't for the life of me remember where I was when I heard about Cotterill's departure. I'm fairly sure I uttered some really unpleasant expletives though.

The initial runners and riders Also some utter self justifying horseshit from the jug eared twat! www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-steve-cotterill-manager-2695976Who was in the running to replace Steve Cotterill? Richie Barker broke Stoke City's transfer record to sign Sammy McIlroy in February 1982. From the Sentinel, October 11, 2002. SAMMY McIlroy is an early front-runner to succeed Steve Cotterill in the manager’s hotseat at Stoke City. And The Sentinel can reveal former City defender Lee Sandford has already applied for the job as he seeks a quick route into management after giving up the full-time game. Lou Macari would listen to any offer to become the club’s boss for a third time, while former Stoke favourite Adrian Heath would jump at the chance to return to his old club after making way for Cotterill at Sunderland earlier this week. But McIlroy, currently in Valencia for Northern Ireland’s Euro 2004 qualifier against Spain this weekend, could be the board’s preferred choice, after coming close to getting the City job when Cotterill was appointed. McIlroy, now aged 48, would grab the chance to leave the Northern Ireland post for another shot at club management, after having six successful years at Macclesfield before accepting the national job in June 2000. McIlroy played nearly 150 times for Stoke between 1982 and 1985 and has come close to landing the job several times. Sandford, meanwhile, revealed he was applying for the vacant post and said: “I think I can do a decent job there. I have all the coaching badges, I’m still living in the area and I obviously have a lot of feeling for the club after playing 320 games for Stoke. “I played my last game a couple of weeks ago for Woking in the Conference, but I’m retired really and this would be perfect for me.” Macari remains out of management after his controversial dismissal by Huddersfield in the summer and would relish the chance of taking the reins for a third time at a club he has always followed closely after remaining resident in the Potteries. Heath, too, still has his family home and ties in the area and would have been interested in Stoke even before this week’s sacking along with Sunderland boss Peter Reid. Several other names such as Bradford’s Nicky Laws, Hartlepool’s Chris Turner, Barnsley’s Steve Parkin and Wrexham’s former Stoke legend Denis Smith are possibilities if Stoke were to choose to opt for a manager from an existing League job, while closer to home Jimmy Quinn would welcome a return to League management, following a successful stint at Northwich in the Conference. And there could even be a return to the Britannia for Thordarson - not former manager Gudjon, however, but compatriot Teitur, who is currently at Norwegian club Bran Bergen. Thordarson once guided Estonia from 138th to the mid-70s in the FIFA rankings before moving to Bergen three seasons ago and his name will be known to the Icelandic members of Stoke’s board.

We played some half decent stuff under Cotterill and Commons was one of the most exciting young players in the league at the time. Glad he went in hindsight.

Complete and utter wanker! My hatred when I even read or hear his name is still as strong as the day he walked to be a number two at fucking Sunderland. However, as a few have said I think it paved the way for our return to the top flight and although we didn't know at the time, in the end we had the last laugh Quitterall you jug eared spineless twat.

A couple of mates and me had a drink and a chat with him outside the team hotel on the Austria pre season tour about 3/4 months before he quit, came across as a genuine sort and we were all pretty impressed with him. He did say, during the chat, that things "weren't what he was told in the jnterview" at Stoke and it was clear he felt he'd been duped in some way by the Icelanders, we took it to mean his transfer budget. I was still totally shocked when I woke up to a text from my mate to tell me the twat had walked

Just for a different take on all this but when we appointed Cotterill & he signed Chris Greenacre I genuinely thought we were on the verge of something great. It perhaps goes to show how long we had been shit for that I got all excited about a manager & player from Cheltenham & Mansfield but there you go. As it turned out Cotterill fucked off after a few games & Greenacre did naff all. Funny how things turn out. ... I also thought Palacios would be a great signing for us, that Imbula was the N'Zonzi replacement we needed, and that Rowett would steamroll the league. I should perhaps stop getting my hopes up when it comes to Stoke

I like to think I am a reasonable person most of the time but there was something about him that I never liked right from the off. Bad I know because everyone deserves a chance but there was something about the cut of his jib that I just didn't like. And so it proved. Was glad he pissed off and yes his career record does show we didn't miss out on anything. Bullet dodged.

so glad he's thrived in the meantime One of the daftest career moves of all time. When Sven took the England job he looked around and asked why Wilkinson was still working at the FA. One of his first instructions as manager was that his contract must be renewed. And Cotterill tied himself to him, taking a demotion in doing so. From being a hot young up and coming manager he became damaged goods. Whereas with us he didn't actually have to do that much. Keep us up, stay stable and we'd have been happy, and he could have taken a management offer with everyone's blessing and he'd have continued to climb the nogger ladder. But he chose to be a dinosaur's teaboy.
