Dougie Freedman Dougie Freedman - New Manager

[Take Hunt Off]

very nervous about this appointment .......................Garside seems to be playing Billy Big pants again by poaching someone elses manager

 

shades of OC & Burnley , dont think we need to panic like this ..................give GP & the boys four more games at least

 

We dont want another bunch of backroom hangers on

[Guest Blixa]

What happened to Coyle?

 

He got us relegated and still kept his job for months after, until we were near the foot of the next division down in fact.

 

Not exactly turfed out in days...

Fair point, but he's probably acting now ahead of Palace offering a new deal. A lot less compo to deal with right now.

[KP]

Not entirely sure what to make of it, I haven't seen enough of Palace to make a judgement, but I will certainly give the guy plenty of backing if he does decide to make the switch.

[Traf]

Freedman will be a cunt, I just know it.

 

Dougie Donnelly is a cunt.

Dougie is a cunt .

Dougie Freedman will be a cunt.

[Happy Wanderer]

I fear this may be another backward step if it comes off.

What road is that?

 

The road where we employed a bloke to find us a manager and surprise surprise, he turned up with one of his clients

[Carlos]

What's Freedman's catalogue of achievements?

Some would say Megson did a decent job here. I think there's little doubt that Curtis's choice did a better job than his replacement who was the fans' choice.

I'm waiting for the classic phrase 'those who know football...'

[Traf]

Like it.

 

(especially the lingerie section )

[superjohnmcginlay]

so it says talks will start on weds,

 

Surely that sa smokescreen, how can he be in charge of them and agree to talk to us with games tomoz night?

[Hutch]

Underwhelmed

 

I wanted Big Mick

 

I bet DF doesn't like a drink....

[Mounts Kipper]

I'm fuming about this Possible appointment there remains more questions than answers why is Curtis involved again? Sounds dodgy to me another fat cheque for him, does he contribute to gartsides pension? What criteria has been used in selecting Freeman? He has no experience or track record of success anywhere at any level. What's going to happen to our quality coaching staff when he grafts his coaching team onto our coaching staff, this is the mother of all fuck ups and Gartside is negligent yet again it's scandalous.

do we know Freedmans agent is actually Curtis or is twitter bollocks?

[bwfc87]

We surely must tell Freedman to fuck off if he wants to bring his own coaching staff.

good luck to anyone looking to buy bed sheets.....ive just purchased a shit load from asda....will open up the biding shortly

I'm just relieved that it seems we aren't going to pick someone off the tried and failed managerial merry go round, McCarthy, McLeish, Holloway, Souness.

 

Still not sure that Freedman should come to us and will genuinely feel a bit sorry for Palace fans as he is something good to them.

 

The future for us has to be based around a better youth structure, Coyle has gone some way to doing this giving some chances to younger lads (though I'd have liked to have seen more of Riley) so maybe Gartside sees Dougie as the manager that can build on it. I assume this will mean keeping Phillips and Lee in their pre caretaker roles that they seem to have been doing well in.

[Alf Hartigan]

My vote was for Keith Hill, but he doesn't seem to have been considered.

 

I don't want McCarthy, and of the others approached, they don't have much more experience than our Jim, so I'd stick with him. It's no more of a gamble than DF or OGS.

 

Admittedly, nil points at Wolves and Boro could test that view though.

All four you mentioned at least have had some amount of success and have vastly more experience than Freeman and I would only prefer him in front of Mcleish.

[Guest]

I've no idea if he's any good

 

 

The basic ingredients are

 

 

Skill; No idea

 

Luck; no idea

 

Money; none (probably)
