'An unsettling couple of weeks' for Bristol City

There's lots of speculation and Bristol City will have to move quick if Liam does go.

If you view what he's been through this season in his personal life and the fact that he's almost heading home [to Norwich], I don't think you can really deny him that.

It's about what Bristol City do next and they have to look to the future - football is pretty brutal, nothing should surprise you, so they'll have to think about appointing his replacement.

To end in the play-offs and everybody was looking forward to next season already, and hoping that we can achieve that position again and get to the final or promoted.

All of a sudden very quickly you've got to deal with Liam possibly leaving - it's a big thing.

He'll have all those relationships he's built up over time with the staff - will the staff go with Liam? All those relationships he's built up with the players, and a new manager has got to come in and start again.

His achievement at Bristol City has been amazing. He's taken Bristol City from a mid-table team, developed his own style of play and got them a couple of steps from reaching the Premier League. The last person to do that was Gary Johnson.

There's been a lot of years where City haven't really achieved anything in terms of league position. All of a sudden they've achieved it and that comes with success.

It might unsettle a few players. They might see it as an opportunity for them to start moving on, he might come back and try and recruit a few players that have played with him at Bristol City.

It's going to be a pretty unsettling couple of weeks. It's probably not something [the club] anticipated, so they're going to have to get some work done behind the scenes.
