Dougie Freedman - New Manager

Bolton News are reporting that Gartside has made an approach for Freedman, but Palace are yet to reply.

 

The daily mail are also running this story.

 

Personally would give Jimmy a chance.

    I think you need some more intelligent friends...

  • for me, the only mistake there would not have been sacking Coyle sooner, and he even managed to take it to the last day   Lee felt like the right choice at the time, soon as it went tits up, Gartsid

That Palace messageboard that was linked somewhere on here. Might well be bollox.

 

Can't remember where I read it now, but google isnt turning owt up. Not that you'd expect it to necessarily.

i'm happy

 

we've got good players

 

the problem has been removed

 

this fella apparently swears by fitness and hardwork

 

gumbo could manage our lot

BBC now reporting that Palace have said Freedman has left to join Bolton

Why don't we wait until he arrives and then give him a chance, radical thinking I know, but why not?

 

What you said

Its time Gartside went - Lee, Megson, Coyle and now this.

 

for me, the only mistake there would not have been sacking Coyle sooner, and he even managed to take it to the last day

 

Lee felt like the right choice at the time, soon as it went tits up, Gartside got rid

 

Megson wasn't popular, but he kept us up, bought some good players, then had a good season, and when it went tits up, league place wise, he got rid

 

no one was moaning about Coyle just before the cup semi

 

and there's them who say Gartside got lucky where Fat Sam was concerned with the long contract

 

so not quite sure what is expected of our chairman, given he's been better than anyone else in that position before him

come on for fuck sake, who were we expecting??? no matter who gartside appointed there would still be the same old negative comments!

 

first name is dougie dougie dougie, second name is..................

 

:blum:

OGS led the polls,but jesus christ folk are moaning this is a gamble?...what the fuck would you of called that.

 

Its looking like the mans got the job,youve spent the spent the last year moaning to get the last fella out,now some fuckers are moaning about the new man coming in...

 

Who the fuck did you want??

 

I say everybody shut the fuck and get behind this fella,because moaning will get us nowhere.

 

If you expect failure,failure will be inevitable.

 

Get a bloody grip you pesimistic fuck sticks.

 

+1 sir

If you expect failure,failure will be inevitable.

 

aye, or to put it another way, if you expect it, you'll go out of your way to find it

Can't agree with this.

 

When Fat Sam went that was our only chance in recent history and possibly ever to cast around for a good established manager. 3 top 8 finishes and Europe, with a decent, albeit aging, team. I'm not saying we could of got Jose, but we were attractive at that point. Sammy Lee was the easy kop out choice.

 

Megson was a poor appointment on many levels, although yes he did keep us up.

 

Coyle just got too long, as you say.

 

Captainmed is still talking arse though.

Good luck to the fella, welcome to bwfc.

 

Onwards and upwards.

Happy with this!! Dougie Freedman's Super White Army!!

this tickeled me on their forum:

 

"Gutted beyond belief, is money all that matters now days?

How can you leave the youngsters you supposedly value so much, the fans ( there are none better ) to join a plastic northern dump of a club that is going no where?

If there is anything good left in this ever increasingly bitter world we live in, I cant wait to see the Bolton fans crying at the end of the season as they are relegated on the day we clinch the championship."

Sing, "who let the doog out", "oo" "oo"!!!! repeat to fade.........

Can't agree with this.

sammy lee had probably been promised the gig

 

that it didn't work out couldn't reall;y have been predicted

 

gartside got shut, quick sharp

 

coyle should have gone 12 months back

 

other than that, he's in credit

Our first manager that's younger than me.

If we appointed Jose, the negative bastards on here would find fault, give this bloke a chance FFS

He's right.

 

Fucking buck up for Christ sake.

 

Some of the comments, if the bloke reads this I'd be surprised if he bothers coming.

 

Let's get Souness, eh? Fuck off!

 

 

 

Rant over.

Football would be too negative under him and his win at all costs style... If we are going to win the Champions League then I want us to do it in the right style playing with 2 wingers, creative midfielders, plenty of goals along the way but more importantely respected and well liked around the world... Jose - No thank you!

Let's get Souness, eh?

 

I am gutted... I was going to join in "Movember" in support of the stool wobbler

He's right.

Obviously rag week

I just don't understand it.

 

We used to be a club that gave new managers a chance. I'm thinking McGovern, Wright, Neal.

 

Then we sort of realised that this was a shite idea and started going for blokes with a bit of experience (Rioch, Todd, Allardyce).

 

Maybe we'll strike gold this time eh?

Obviously rag week

 

:D And a blessing at my age!

Chuffed with this to be honest. Was sh***ing my pants when i thought Keane or Mick might take over. We've still got Jimmy and Sammy to make a positive impact at the club and I hope Jimmy gets his chance someday.

 

Lets get behind them all !
