Mounts Kipper Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Just been announced on twitter Mcginlay quitting at Cincinnati and coming back home. Welcome back John. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I've seen him knocking about quite a few times, including once in Home Bargains, Burnden - his old stomping ground A cautious welcome home...I think. Quote
superjohnmcginlay Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 This means Alan Gowling is fucked Quote
radcliffe white Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 John if they ask you don't do it! Stay a legend or at the most take a coaching roll. Quote
Whites man Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I understand he's over here whilst one of his lads settles in at the Academy. He played in goal for CMB the other week BTW, some of the "not going whilst Coyle is in charge" should have gone down to that. Quote
MalcolmW Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 This means Alan Gowling is fucked Alan Gowling hasn't been on radio this season - concentrating on his business. Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) I don't think it's a coincidence he was over the other week I would think the club have sounded out a out a return and his role will be similar to what he was doing in US building the academy up and I can't think of a better man for the job.

no balls Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Alan Gowling hasn't been on radio this season - concentrating on his business. He managed to get himself outside the Reebok today though. He may be a nice man but he really doesn't come across as one. Quote
mannyroad vet Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Ain't we just failed, quite dramatically I think in the " let's bring back an ex-player" experiment Quote
wanderer13 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Sammy Lee's current/ old job in the academy could be a good opportunity for super John if Sammy stays as assistant manager to the new boss Quote
athywhite Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Ain't we just failed, quite dramatically I think in the " let's bring back an ex-player" experiment spot on some think you can just throw anyone in and they will be a success. We need a very experienced manager now not someone who has been a manager for 5mins like the last one. Quote
Casino Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I'm guessing mc ginlay ain't qualified for lees job Quote
nwhiteley Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Ain't we just failed, quite dramatically I think in the " let's bring back an ex-player" experiment Perhaps it wasnt a bring back an ex-player experiment, maybe it was a "lets get the best young, up and coming, manager we can afford, who just happened to be an ex-player" experiment. Unfortunately it failed. By the way, we now have TWO ex-players in charge of the first team, one a defender and the other a midfielder, perhaps we now need someone to work with the goal shy strikers, could SJM be that man? PS, im not saying SJM should be our manager, far from it, but perhaps there could be a coaching role for him somewhere. Edited October 9, 2012 by nwhiteley Quote

I want the Academy to have he best qualified an experienced coaches not this wanky old boys network, which is a key reason why we've fallen behind at youth level Am I alone? Quote
MalcolmW Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 What is it Malc? "He became the General Manager of a chemicals company in Buxton." Quote

Fair point, i can't confess to seeing McGinlays or Lee's qualifications but can only comment as an outsider. What do you mean by "lose status" is that some sort of facebook thing? Quote

Mcginlay has done 8 years with Cincinatti and has made them into the best academy in the US, he has glowing references from Cincinatti, he's BWFC through and through he fits the bill for me I hope he's on his way back to be part of the BWFC family.

What do you mean by "lose status" is that some sort of facebook thing? Don't know if you're taking the piss or not It's well documented Sammy Lee was brought back in because his qualifications meant that him "running" the academy or being associated with it meant it was granted a certain top level status This making it attractive to players (particularly overseas at a guess) and other benefits Gumbo knows all more accurately Quote
Garrp Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Fair point, i can't confess to seeing McGinlays or Lee's qualifications but can only comment as an outsider. What do you mean by "lose status" is that some sort of facebook thing? the jist of it acadameys are all graded and have a certain status based on facilities and people running the acadamey, based on the qualifications they have. We got sammy lee back to be graded at a certain level something like that gumbo or franny will explain it properly Quote
little whitt Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Mcginlay has done 8 years with Cincinatti and has made them into the best academy in the US, he has glowing references from Cincinatti, he's BWFC through and through he fits the bill for me I hope he's on his way back to be part of the BWFC family. hdont think he's comeing back for the weather do you Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Supa John was on the radio a couple of months back. He was asked about his plans, whether a rumour of a return home was true? Anyhow, he said a comment along the lines of "watch this space..." and some more mutterings. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been so indiscrete if the role was anything major. Quote
