Slightly deviating off topic, where the hell is the new kit ?


Why? Have you ever seen Barry Fry on the touchline? Animated, passionate and useless. Have you ever seen Mark Hughes or Roy Keane on the touchline? Calm, dispassionate and very, very good.


On the other hand, I have seen a guy called Alex Ferguson being animated on the touchline a few times, and I don't think has done too badly ...


But all of the passion in the world doesn't matter a toss, if you don't know what you are doing. That's the first priority.

As to the guy's identity, I'm sworn to secrecy I'm afraid. I can tell you it's not Holloway or Kelly or Kinsella or Morrow or a lot of other people.


I can confirm that it's not going to be a lot of other people.

In fact, with a current world population of 6,669,268,543 it's probably safe to say it's not going to be 6,669,268,542 other people - or 6,669,268,541 if we employ a management duo.

Martin Allen is a typical cockney - all mouth and not much else.

if you want to see big, pacey forwards with no skill and long ball played to them every time then deffo lets get Allen in.

I would much rather someone with more tactical knowledge that might try and promote some attractive football and try to bring through some more younger players as opposed to buying in useless powerhouses that are good in the air and not very nice to watch.

plus the constant barrage of abuse to ref's is not 'passion' as some people think it is - just total indiscipline and somethign that needs to be cut out of the game full stop not promoted...especially in our team.

Not Martin Allen if my info is correct so you can all breathe again on that front.

Lets face it, it will not be anybody with any ambition. Someone just grateful to have a job basically as you can't even chose who your backroom staff are.

Surely there would be something on the Os about a press conference or something if there was going to be an unveiling wouldn't there?

I love how three pages emerge when someone starts rumours, how come dribbly doesnt get three page threads with his rumours? :mrgreen:

For what its worth, if it is the person I have been told....I would be very very happy. But we are used to being in this position

Disgrace. We have been sold down the river. Shambolic. A used car salesmen from Hednesford Town.

I won't be going next year.

Mullen?

I like the chap, but surely, surely we should be doing better than him.

Good assistant, but manager?

oh Please.

Jeff, I gave you a chance to impress me with this appointment, and look what you've done.

Think alot of people will think the same. It's sad to say that I'm waiting to see what happens in the summer with signings etc. Very poor appointment indeed, with what managers are available

So, does this mean we're after an Assistant Manager now?

Odds on that we're not, Mullen can do both jobs eh!!!

'The next manager will take us to the next level'

More lies and deceit. I bet we never even interviewed anyone.

:lol:

It's a disgrace. This has got nothing to do with his managerial experience, or that "he's the right man for the job" ...

What obviously happened is that we met prospective candidates [Cotterill etc]... but they turned out to cost money.

Typical Bonser.

This appointment is an absolute disgrace. Mullen is nothing but a yes man, who was practically begging for the job after Money left.

Nice and cheap. I am sick to the stomach.

If I could get a refund for my season ticket, I would. Jeff has gone way too far this time.

On a side note, the owner of this site really needs to get on to his hosts, this sites performance under any kind of stress is pathetic...
