  • If I thought he could get us back on track and challenging in this league again, I'd have Bin fucking Laden.   Getting precious about some fucking small time sectarian bullshit is a luxury we cannot

  • It's only seen as divisive by people who want to see it that way. What the fuck has he done wrong? Apart from stand up to the most vicious sectarian campaign of intimidation by people 'loyal' to somet

I don't really get people turning their noses up at Keith Hill. He hardly was disastrous at Barnsley. They were a side headed for relegation at some point. Since he left they've gone downhill.

 

So how comes he ended up back at Rochdale then? Why were no other Championship clubs interested?

Think some folk are getting us mixed up from the Bolton of 10years ago,and whoever comes in people will moan because the hardest job at this club is getting the fans onside.

It looks like Malky Mackay, Chris Hughton & Neil Lennon could be on the short list. I think Nixon said that the managers we're interested in are all available, so presumably, this could rule out Keith Hill.

Ten pager on the ShrimpersZone about Phil Brown,

 

One comment suggested Freedman wasn't good enough to apply Browns fake tan,

 

Anyhow some are worried he will leave them

Let's not get excited Hill isn't coming BWFC are on a different planet to a Keith Hill.

Well said.

 

This is a big part of the problem, people need to remember where we are.

 

We're no longer in the position we were when Allardyce left, we're need to get to grips with what we are again.

 

we're a middle of the road championship club

 

our aim this season is to stay up and gradually improve year by year with a long term plan to get back to the premier league.

 

not next season, probably not the season after and maybe not even the season after that.

 

we're building from the bottom again, we need players with re sale value and build and build.

 

the process for appointing freedman was the correct one, it never worked out, tough shit, it doesn't mean it wasn't the right way to do it.

 

with that in mind i hope its the same process again. young manager with lots of potential with a good record of bringing through kids.

 

not some 'experienced' manager just because he has twenty clubs on his cv

using your logic theres hundreds of managers who could be on the short list

Let's not get excited Hill isn't coming BWFC are on a different planet to a Keith Hill.

 

As are the managers you suggested.

Anyone but Neil Lennon...the pikey twat.

He'd shake things up!

I'd rather have benny hill than Keith hill

 

Glenn hoddle still my first choice

Edited by birch-chorley

Yeah he could bring Eileen drewery with him

Can't see him leaving what you'd presume is a well paid coaching role at qpr to come to us

Coach or manager - should be worth a shout

 

QPR will be championship next season any road

 

Superb tactician IMO

He could be their main man fairly soon. In fact maybe we could get 'arry if we hold out a while longer.

Which out of work managers does Mark Curtis represent?

I can. I think he'd jump at the chance to manage us. Don't think he'd be under consideration though.

If we take another possible bright young thing were potentially heading for a car crash a steady pair of hands with a track record is required not some fancy young manager who's wet behind the ears, we need a period to steady the ship it does not need to be spectacular just steady improvement over the next few years.

so we rule out all young managers because Freedman never worked?

Not because Freedman didnt work but because we can't risk getting someone in who has no track record if he's young with a good track record id take a look, one that falls into that category might be Phil Parkinson. If you doubt my thought process I will give you the name of Kenny Jackett he's doing a similar type of job to what we need hes served his time plenty of experience at this level and just the type we need.

Garp - we went down that route in the 80's. All but destroyed us.

What relevance has that got?

 

We shouldn't have appointed Allardyce then

 

Megson was 'experienced' loads will have you believe he almost ruined us.

So how comes he ended up back at Rochdale then? Why were no other Championship clubs interested?

Why did nobody else want Allardyce?

 

Why did Watford sack Dyche if he was any good?

 

We are bottom of the championship 5 points adrift of safety and without a pot to piss in. Practically we are only going to get a manager that other clubs at our level haven't gone for.

Relevance? Absolutely fucking loads. This aint a job for a kid who likes to piss about with the youth players. We need a bloke who knows the game inside out, who has connections all over the game.

 

Megson? Not me - Megson kept us up, no mistake

 

Allardyce? He had loads of experience when we got him. He's had 10 years of coaching/managing by the time he came to us.

I'm not trying to put words in your mouth so correct me if i'm misunderstanding.

 

are you saying because young managers never worked for us with Freedman or in the 80's we should rule them all out completely?

 

are you saying there is some king of link where they work elsewhere but specifically not with bolton wanderers?
