Danny Wilson opens up on Bristol City sacking, leaving Lita out and apparent drinking culture

When Danny Wilson looks back on his time as Bristol City manager, he'll reflect on that dramatic play-off victory over Hartlepool, the silverware, the supporters, the near-misses and ultimately, the sacking.

It's been over 18 years since Wilson took that call from Steve Lansdown while holidaying in the Spanish resort of La Manga five days after City's play-off final defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.

As Wilson puts it himself, managers have to abide by the owner's decisions during a ruthless but rewarding career but it doesn't mean it still doesn't leave a sour taste. Not just because of the timing of his dismissal but also the nature of it.
