[Archived] New Manager Part 2 - With Poll

[DE.]

The bookies have as much idea as to what is going to happen as we do. The odds are meaningless.

[forumquizmaster]

As long as it's not someone with 4 letters in his surname.

The 4 worst managers in terms of results since i starting watching football in the early 90s are Kidd, Ince, Kean & Berg.

Well spotted! And you can add Jim Iley to that list!

MG,

Just to prove your personal provenance, do you know what happened to our first team squad on the penultimate night of their visit to Pune in 2011? Where did they go with Balaji?

It was a while ago but was it the nightclub in The Meridien hotel? Or was it the club in The Marriot called 'Miami'?

The fans and the players families attended the private party in Meridien. The Miami club was open to the public but the families didn't attend.

You mean like Paul Dickov !

Unbelievable !

I posted about Dickov yesterday. When someone told me about Dickov, I really thought it was a wind-up at first until I could see how serious he was.

If correct, and it seems as though it could well be, I really think we are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

[martonrover]

I spoke to an Oldham fan recently who thinks Dickov's hopeless.

Paul Dickov ,,,,,,,,,,,what is the matter with these people (assuming it is true) unless they can bring in a GOOD experienced manager and give him free reign (which they wont) then leave Gary Bowyer in charge.It just seems that every day there's another rumour or piece of inside information that just keeps the circus going, it's soul destroying.

[Mercer]

If it's not Dickov, then I would expect MG Road to come on here and rule him out.

[BuckyRover]

BRAG need to release a statement forthwith.

Well, I suppose there was a hint when it was mentioned there was a 'short' list. Perhaps Speedie and Ronnie Corbet are on there also!!

[thenodrog]

The logical choice would be Sean o Driscoll but because that would be a logical choice it won't be him.

Most illogical if MG Road's comment is kosher.

Why is Saunders so bad exactly? Left Wrexham top of the Conference and left Doncaster joint top of League 1. Fair enough he couldn't save them from relegation but he did have a lot of points to make up.

[bypass06]

The three parties finalised the terms of the deal which involves the club paying Mr Allardyce, now manager of West Ham, a sum believed to be around £15,000 plus costs.

Not really a Saunders' fan, however, said all the right things in his pressers yesterday !

[Wycomberover]

Unless there's a top class candidate ready to come in, it really makes no sense to change Bowyer now, why can't these idiots see what everyone else can!

The word highlighted tells you why!!

Not sure he's a manager but time will tell. One thing I do know is that his effect on Duff's career was dramatic. Once he took Duff under his wing and convinced him to turn inside and shoot on goal more often and find the touchline a little less often he turned him from a 5m player to a 17m player.

[beanie]

Dickov would be an utter disaster if thats the caliber we are looking at then i guess league one experience will help as thats where we are headed. If he's the best they can attract then keep Bowyer save the compo and he seems alright. Cue Shebby saying at other clubs ex players are treated better.

[Andy]

Paul Dickov?!

What is wrong with these people?

Billy McKinlay, Paul Dickov, Henning Berg, Garry Flitcroft.

Forget former players unless they're proven, experienced managers.

Put it this way, Venkmeisters - if you appoint Dickov, we will not be in the Premier League next season. Or the season after.

Your call.

[Mercer]

Worrying times !

Neither Kamy nor Cryer have come out and dismissed the Dickov stuff.

[CapeTownRover]

Wow, another pointless statement which the club has released. We apologise on behalf of a guy, who basically has brought the club to its knees. We apologise to a man who is no longer here, months and months after this incident took place, and still in that apology kick Kean while he is down and out lol. This is madness, utter and pure madness.

[neophox]

Paul Dickov wants out but the only one I would take from Oldham is Jose Baxter.

[chaddyrovers]

why is the payoff to Big Sam being discuss in the next manager topic.

if Dickov becomes manager would okish but not ideal. but the bookies odds are pointless. Dickov was probably at under 21 game looking for potential loan players.

was Dickov seen talking to Shebby????

[jonv]

Unless we're getting in the likes of a Hughes, Sven or dare I say it Phil Brown, it'd be absolutel bonkers to bring anyone in, especially given the run we're on at the minute. It surely has to be just gossip.

Maybe Dickov will be the new reserve team manager?

Bowyer was here when Dickov was here as a player.

[Sysagent]

From ridiculous to the downright absurd...
I hope I am wrong, but I fail to see the right person for the job being appointed by what can be summarised as a bunch of complete and utter buffoons, no seriously what have they got right in the last two and half years?
