Assuming we survive, who’s the man?

David Lee would be my choice, based largely on the fact he’ll be cheap, keen and a fan favourite.

Keith Hill, Nobby are 2 others being mooted.

 

Must admit that Nobby was my no. 1 choice, but there was a lot of sentimentality included in that.

Hill makes sense and ticks a lot of boxes. He gets my backing!! Keith Hill’s super white army!

The flitcrofts lived on my street in Bromley Cross when I was growing up. Factoids!

Is there a younger Flitcroft brother? Probably in his late 30's. Remember playing football against him at primary school, think he went to Eagley. Had the same stupid haircut as Garry at the time.

I think they have a younger brother Stephen ?

Yes he’ll be in his late 30’s I think. He played under Garry at both Leigh Genesis and Chorley. Played for Accrington and Barrow amongst others before that.

Aye Stephen it is. Was doing a bit of work at Chorley when Jansen was there I think? 

Had a heart attack a few years ago so had to pack it all in

I think he works in their estate agents in Bromley cross ( William Thomas )

Someone who plays football the right way and knows the lower divisions like the back of his hand, what more could you ask for!

"Keith Hill he's one of our own"

Happy enough with this

Now's not the time for ex players

Grew up next door to my nanna. There’s a picture of me with Garry Flitcroft as a toddler. 

Led to believe Stephen was the most talented but loved a session too much and Garry was the most dedicated. 

The romantic in me was thinking Nolan, all the while knowing this ain’t a job for a kid just starting out but hoping against all hope that it would play out. 

This is the hard headed, correct appointment for a club in the position we are now. 

We like our Rochdale links don’t we Steve Parkin first now Keith Hill. Happy with appointment feel it would of gone tits up with Nolan, liked all the sentiment & all that but we 100% need someone with experience with how big of a job it is sorting the club out. Hill will work his bollocks off for this club with how happy he is getting the job

I went to school with Steven, from infants to high school (Turton). Remember him being a very talented player and he was at Blackburn after leaving school but he got released.

Happy with that. With how swift the appointment has been down presume they’ve been lined up a while and players discussed. 

Good on FV. The ball is rolling. 

 

 

 

 

 

Another one happy with this. A Bolton man for our great club. Do a job similar to ipswich did last year and start to think about next season. Their joint track record suggests we could be in for a good time.

Happy with ‘Peaky Hill’, As has been said I was worried Kevin Nolan would lose his hero status and I reckon Hill n Flitcroft have already been scouting/recruiting getting a team together whilst JP has filled in.   I’ve got a warm glow about this.  

I'm well happy with Keffers.

Must be the most Boltonian the club's been in donkey's years.

Co-owner, manager, assistant, head of academy, couple of the youngsters who'll be around the first team squad this year ... and we've already had a Boltonian captaining the side this season.

Liking Hill's reputation for playing good football and bringing through the youth according to Rochdale fans.

Really positive move this, adds to the feel that it's the beginning of a new - and much brighter - era.

Rochdale fans opinions on Hill make an interesting read https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/members/rochdale/forum/246278/keith-hill/#48

Mainly compliments from dale fans, decent football straight talking especially with the media 

Keith hills super white army 

Is it too early to mention that I’ve read on here that Hill was a United fan in his youth?

That’s the only foundation I have for this. Happy with the appointment. Onwards and upwards.

Think there's some fair comments on there. Also think that they are better as a partnership than individually and Hill did lose his way at the end.

Surprised at the Sweetmore comments...thought they loved their Manc music playing announcer 

Coming out the other side of the Dartford tunnel when the news broke of Hills arrival. Happy with the appointment and badly needed. As previously pointed out tries to play football the right way and knows the lower leagues well

He needs to find a few leaders from somewhere to play with some of these kids. 

‘Keith Hills Super White Army’

Hopefully we'll get the Keith Hill of old.

Sound, sensible appointment. Quietly confident he will get us back on the right track and if we can finally see some entertaining football then he’ll do for me!

Does anybody know why he left Dale, did he resign or was he sacked?

A decent record to be sure, but he has a vertual mission impossible at Bolton. 

Wish him the best though.
