Billy Barr

He’ll be on at least a 12 month rolling contract, so a release and possible payment WILL result in a gagging order.

before people start getting carried away and needlessly speculating, its NOT Damien Johnson.

So by process of elimination, not Mowbray, Waggot, Cheston or Johnson.

Are you talking about Barr or Cooper who are rumoured to be leaving or someone else entirely?

The title of the thread is Billy Barr, so it’s not him, who the hell is Cooper?

Simon Copper is/was Head of Recruitment at the Academy - identifying players to be into Brockhall for the different age groups right upto and including the u23's.

A natural reaction to being criticised or to be accused of failure, is to blame other people. It's called not being accountable.

This could be Maggott/Mowbray blaming others for their own failures, who in turn are walking away.

'Sorry Madam. We failed last season because the pitch our groundsman laid was crap; our players weren't fit enough because the fitness coach didn't train them properly; our recruitment team didn't find good enough players...

Well get rid of them for you.'

Well Kean did do exactly that with John Jensen.

I remember 'the football world was going to sit up and take notice' when he appointed the assistant.

Who could it be? Wilkins? Quieroz? No, fucking Jensen.

I remember instantly knowing it would be another waste of space stitch up job when he said he'd never met Kean but was represented by the same agency !

I wonder who is really in charge of replacing all these Ewood departees.

I think it will stay like this until the supporters welcome the Venkeys back. They would then spend time at the club and start to understand how it operates. They currently rely on the three stooges instead of managing the club.

I wonder how we would do that? Send them a letter, inviting them to a game perhaps?

My god where did you dream that up from ?

It's pure fantasy apart from the last bit although for all we know the 3 stooges are just exactly that.  Whilst someone plays real life football manager from India with never any intention of being over here.

The same guy who in the last decade has been a regular fixture in London but rarely found his way to his own football club.

As far as his replacement goes the name Sheron keeps sticking in my mind.

I'm sure there are some unemployed ex-boro coaches knocking around.

Not a dream pal, a comment that Venkeys need to feel welcomed and not snowballed the next time they dare to visit the club. Who the hell are you jabber in on about in your last sentence. What ever you’re on is doing your head in.

If you don't know you're as clueless as i expected.

To think after all these years it's still down to a snowball is deluded. 

Stop sipping from that stream on Jenny Lane.

‘Supporters need to welcome back The Venkeys’

Hmmm, I’m sensing a bit of WUM-ery here.

I’ve read it again and twigged who your eluding to. Why don’t you just name him, instead of being cryptic. Why would he come when most supporters are so vitriolic towards the Venkeys. We need to move on. For me the three stooges are more responsible for the current mess.

I agree on the stooges but you need to move on from the snowball. I'll stand corrected but i'm pretty certain they've been a few times when GB was manager.  We had the pleasure of their company for 65 mins a few times before they upped and left.

When it comes to the relationship with fans they've rarely if ever done anything to help that. Maybe they should make the first move.

Who appointed the three stooges ? Who appointed all the other stooges ? Anybody can make a mistake but this lot specialise in it.

Anyone can make a mistake, but when you are so blind, you haven't even noticed how the owners spell the name of their business, they I give up. He wasn't really worth replying to.

He owns the club so of course he should show his bloated face once in a while

Even if it is just for a picture to show Ms Hilton what he owns 

But all jokes aside the supporters of this club are well within their rights to have bad feelings towards Venkys for all that they have put this club through 

He doesn’t come to the ground because of a snowball - they don’t come because they know full well the reception they will get. That would change though, if only they showed a willing to run the club properly. The poor relationship isn’t undeserved.

You should write to the club and ask them to offer Liz Windsor a season ticket *, a snowball the size of jupiter wouldn't stop them attending Ewood then.

*If she say's no, offer her an away shirt as well , she won't be able to resist that beauty

You nearly had me, must be the Aussie way. I know her as her mag, or just mag!

Very much this. Think Mr Barr has done a great job and saw a future where he would be sidelined/hindered/unwanted
